Syllabus

<p>(a) A testator bequeathed legacies to the guardian of two of his children, who at the date of the will were minors, to be expended by their guardian, in her discretion, in their education. Three codicils to the will made no change in these bequests:</p> <p>1. In such case, the bequests were not void by reason of the fact that the children became of lawful age before the testator’s death, nor were they adeemed pro tanto by expenditures made by the testator in his lifetime toward their education in their minority.</p>

Judges: Green, McCollum, Mitchell, Paxson, Sterrett, Williams
