Syllabus

<p>(a) A married woman, her husband joining, conveyed her lands, under-laid with coal, to trustees, “in trust to control, lease, demise, and to mine-let the said lauds,” and to collect and “ pay over and distribute the net income of said estate ” to the wife, with remainders over, etc.</p> <p>1. In such case, the rents or royalties in the trustees’ hands, derived from a lease of coal in unopened mines executed in pursuance of the powers conferred by the deed, were to be regarded as income, payable to the wife for life, and not as of the corpus of the estate, to be held by the trustees under the trust.</p>
