Syllabus

<p>Will — Construction — Application of equitable principles — Disputed boundary.</p> <p>The legal construction of a will is for the court and when a boundary-line marking certain devises to separate devisees will meet all the requirements of the will on either of two theories as to the beneficial interests intended to be devised, the court will not, with a view of equalizing the devises, adopt another line in application of equitable principles to the construction of the will which would lead to endless difficulties and include all the other devises. Such construction would be interpretation run mad.</p>
