Levin left the Bowlands Estate to his trustees to be held by them till his eldest sou attained the age of 25 years, the estate then* to be valued, and offered to hit. two elder sons, but" if they refused to take it at that value, then the trustees were directed "as soon as conveniently may be thereafter to sell tho Bowlands. Estate." But the testator expressly de* clared thati"the convenience of the period! of sale shall be in the uncontrolled div cretion of my trustees, who may postpone the sale or sales for any time, and? in the meantime may manage or let thai Bowlands Estate." The application mad« to his Honour by the trustees was for a direction, and for power from the Court to postpone the sale indefinitely, and in the meantime to carry on the business; of sheepfarmera, the trustees being ot opinion i/hat it would be an injury to the Levin Estate to sell the BowlancUe property at the present time. In thi? opinion all the "beneficiaries' of age, and the guardians of those under age, con« curred. His Honour held that section, 16 of The Trustees Act Amendment Act, 1891, applied to such a case as the present, for it was not a case in whicb there was any express prohibition from carrying on the business or postponing) the realisation of the property. Tha more profitable arrangement for the estate would' be to carry on- the business, and permission to do so would be granted. A remark often "heard: '"You always have a nice window display."
