RELIGION OF LEGATEE
DOES LAD FORFEIT HERITAGE?
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 9. Mr. Justice MacGregor to-day refused to make an order in an application in which the Guardian Trust and Executor Company and other trustees in the estate of James Lockie proceeded against James P. W. Gray, Clara Stew-
art and others, to view a declaration whether a boy of 13 had forfeited a considerable sum of money under the will or his grandfather. Gray is the boy's father. The mother died the day following his birth, and the father married again a Roman Catholic, the boy being brought up as 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 the age of 25. His Honour said it would be impossible to pass satisfactory judgment in > such a case 12 years in advance. The boy might qualify under the codicil by becoming a Protestant by the time h« was 25.
