Opinion by

Mr. Justice Allen M. Stearne,

This appeal relates to a will construction. The question is whether there is an implied gift of corpus to testator’s two minor great-grandchildren or whether there is a partial intestacy. Appellant is the widow of testator’s grandson (claiming as executrix under the will of her husband, the grandson, and in her individual right), and appellees are the testamentary guardians of her two minor children. The Orphans’ Court of Philadelphia County decreed that the corpus amounting to $1,222,123.53 passed to the minor children. The appeal followed.
