Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 31, 1892, Appeal, No. 2 (Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions v. Culp)

Opinion by

Mb. Justice Stebbbtt,

The question submitted for decision in this case is, whether the estate given by Miss .Elder to her mother was in fee or for life; and its solution was made to turn largely upon whether the so-called “N. B.” clause, contained in the will, was or was not precatory. It was conceded that if the words used were precatory the estate given was in fee.
