WIDOW REMARRIES
BENEFIT LOST UNDER WILL By Telegraph—Press Association HAMILTON, December 5. In a case under the Family Protection Act heard in the Supreme Court to-day. Mr Justice Reed held that the court had no jurisdiction to vary a condition made by the testator that the benefits accruing to his widow under his will should terminate on her remarriage. His moral duty was performed when he provided for his widow during her widowhood. When she altered her status she ceased to have any moral claim to override the lawful restriction imposed.
