Judgment (1 paragraphs)
For the reasons stated, I am of opinion that the gift of the daughter's share in trust for the grandchildren of the settlor should be held to be valid. The consequence of that conclusion is that other questions which Fox J. had to decide and upon which this Court has heard argument need not be considered. In my opinion the appeal should be allowed and in lieu of the declarations made by the Supreme Court, questions 1 (a) (ii) and 1 (c) in the originating summons should be answered in the affirmative.
