He never, in fact, retained his commission, them to divide the clear net residue of the proceeds equally between and and his claim to a lien was made in the winding up of the company for among nine persons whom he named (describing also two of them as his his commission on sales effected during the whole period of his engagenephew and niece and the other seven as the children of deceased persons ment.

Those words referred to the “share” of a person children. The executors and trustees were the testator's wife and the who should die under twenty-one without leaving issue, whereas on the defendant G. P. Allen, who had been the testator's partner in the business construction suggested such a person could not have taken a “share” at of a solicitor. The trustees were authorized to invest the trust funds upon all, and yet his “share” was to go over. Moreover, it was essential to a mortgage of freeholds or leaseholds having sixty years to run ; and the gift to a class that the class, when ascertained, should take the whole fund defendant was also authorized to charge for work done by him in connecin any event. That would clearly not be so in this case. Suppose H. had tion with the trusts. The trustees invested £2,500 upon mortgage of a died under twenty-one, leaving a child, and that child had died before freehold public house, and £2,400 and £1,500 respectively upon mortgage of lands and houses. The defendants employed a firm of surveyors to value the public-house prior to advancing the money, and, by letter, he instructed the surveyors to state, “not only the value of the property, but to all the nephews and nieces of the late husband of the testatrix who also the maximum amount which might, in your opinion, be safely lent were living at his death, except A. or B. Two of the nephews died before by way of first mortgage thereon by trustees,” and similar instructions were the testatrix, and it was held that the gift was to a class, and that there was sent with regard to the other proposed mortgages.

In that case the fund is to be di.ided among the above investments were proper, and, if not, whether the defendant was testator's widow commenced proceedings to have it determined whether words describing the class are used for mere brevity, 'instead of solely liable for the loss, or whether she was liable jointly with him. designating the persons by name.” That shewed that, if it was plain and Whiteley v.
