Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of Cases Determined in the Supreme Court of Tasmania, Vol. 2: Containing the Cases in the Years, 1900, 1901, 1902, 1903, and 1904 Mcintyre, J. This is an application on the part of George Browne, Curator of Intestate Estates, and the administrator of the estate of Catherine Daly, for the determination of certain questions. The said Catherine Daly made a will dated August 3, 1889, and appointed Bernard Patrick Farrelly and Samuel Whiting executors thereof, and revoked all former Wills and testamentary writings. She made a codicil to this will dated October 1, 1891, and appointed the said B. P. Farrelly sole executor and trustee of the said will and codicil. On March 20, 1892, the testatrix made another codicil, by which she appointed the Very Rev. Dean Beechinor an additional executor to her last will, and appointed him and the ones already appointed executors and trustees of the codicil. On November 19, 1892, February 18, 1893, and February 20, 1893, respectively, she executed wills, each of which revoked all former testamentary dispositions. On April 20, 1893, she made a codicil to the will of February 20, 1893. On October 9, 1893, the testatrix executed a testamentary disposition as follows: Whereas I, Catherine Daly, of Launceston, in Tasmania, widow of Stephen Daly, late of Launceston, aforesaid, yeoman, deceased, executed my will hearing date the third day of August, 1889, and whereas I subsequently revoked same and made other testamentary dispositions in lieu thereof. Now I hereby annul such revocation, and, while revoking all other testamentary dis positions made by me, I declare the said will of the 3rd day of August, 1889, to be valid and subsisting with the following alterations, that is to say, firstly, I appoint Matthew John Clarke, of Launceston, aforesaid, solicitor, to act as co-executor and co devisee in trust with Bernard Patrick Farrelly, in the said will named, in the place and stead of Samuel Whiting also therein named, and I direct my said will to be read as if the name of the said Matthew John Clarke had been throughout substituted for the name of the said Samuel Whiting; and, secondly, as to the sum of 100 mentioned in the third page of my said will, and which was to go to my son Martin Daly if he should be alive at the time of my decease, to be applied in manner therein directed for the benefit of the children of my son Thomas Daly. On January 19, 1894, testatrix executed a further codicil to her will of August 3, 1889. This codicil recites the codicil of October 9.
