Supreme Court of Pennsylvania May 15, 1865 (Allen v. Henderson)

The opinion of the court was delivered, by

Woodward, C. J.

The testator, after distributing his estate among his several children, in trust for their respective heirs, appointed two general trustees of his will, 'but devised to them no interest and assigned no duties. Though he appointed thus no less than six trustees, it will probably be found that he created not a single valid trust.
