Mode of providing for the husband and children of a second mar

riage.

(2) The mode adopted in this settlement of providing for the husband and children of a second marriage appears very awkward; it would be better to confine the trusts of this settlement to the children of the present marriage, and then to give the wife a power only of settling a part of the fund on the husband and children of a second marriage. (See Bathurst v. Murray, 8 Ves. 74; Birkett v. Hibbert, 3 My. & K. 227, and supra, p. 469, n.).
