Proceeding upon the judicial settlement of the "accounts of administrators with the "will annexed.
1Opinion of the Court
Ketcham, S.—
The, will under which this account is made contains the following:
“ Third. I give and bequeath all the securities of which I may die possessed, and by this I intend only securities, such as Government Bonds and Bank Stock, to Ellen Haslett • Thorne and Richard Van ■ Wyck Thome, children of Q. Maynard Thome, of New York City, to be divided between them, share and share alike.”
This legacy is as if the language thereof was “ I give the government bonds and bank stock of which I may die possessed.”
Authority amply sustains the claim that this was a specific legacy of all the securities…
