INTERPRETATION OF WILL
SIR GEORGE CLIFFORD’S ESTATE. CHRISTCHURCH, December 11. A question of the interpretation of a clause of the will of Sir George Clifford came before Mr Justice Adams to-day. The clause affected dealt with the testator’s personal estate, and the manner in which his grandchildren should benefit was the main point requiring interpretation. The will was in the testator’s own handwriting, and counsel explained that the effect of the clause as it stood was to make an inheritance by any grandchild a matter of chance, though the testator's intention was plainly different. After legal argument judgment was reserved.
