A WILL CASE.

♦ COURT REFUSES TO MAKE ORDER. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TZLEdSAJt.) WELLINGTON, July 9. Mr Justice Macgregor to-day refused to make an order in an application in which the Guardian, Trust, and Executed Company and other trustees of the estate of James Lockie proceeded against James P. W. Gray, Clara Stewart, and others with a View to getting a declaration as to whether a boy of thirteen had forfeited a considerable sum of money under the will of his grandfather. Gray is the boy's father. His mother died the day following his birth, and the father married again a Roman Catholic lady, the boy being brought up a Catholic." In 1920 Lockie made a codicil to his will leaving the boy half the money his mother was to have received providing the boy was brought up and educated in the Protestant faith till he was twenty-five. His Honour said that it would be impossible to pass a satisfactory judgment in such a case twelve vears in advance. The boy might qualify under the codicil by becoming a Protestant by the time he was twenty-five.
