The opinion

*328 Hoke, J.,

dissenting: I concur in tbe general propositions of law stated by tbe Court in tbis case, but am of opinion that on tbe language of tbe will and a perusal of tbe entire instrument the testator intended bis grandson, Joseph Lewis, to take a life estate, with remainder in fee to bis children, born in lawful wedlock; and that by correct interpretation tbis devise should be so construed.

BbowN, J., concurs in tbis dissent.
