decease of bequeathing the faid 1000l. as the thought proper. The faid Mr. L. alfo made a will, &c. (notwithstanding the articles of feparation) and difpofed of all his effects to his faid wife Mrs. L. and her heirs, leaving her the faid Mrs. L. fole executrix.

Quere. Had Mr. L. a power to difpofe of the remainder of the faid 1000. or any part thereof, (being fo firmly fettled on the iffue of that marriage by the marriage fettlement) to his wife Mrs. L. and her affigns, for ever.

Will not Mr. K. the hufband of the late Mifs L. or his reprefentatives after the decease of the faid Mrs. L. by taking out letters of administration to his faid late wife, or how otherwise be entitled to receive the faid principal fum of 1000l. provided the faid Mrs. L. fhould be inclined to difpofe of the fame elsewhere at her death, or should she chance to die without making any difpofition of the fame.

Opinion. I am of opinion that Mrs. L. is entitled to the intereft

of the faid fum of 1000 for her life, and that after her death the fame will belong to Mr. K. (if he fhall be then living) or to fuch perfon or perfons as he shall affign the fame to, and in default of fuch affignment, to his executors or adminiftrators. As Mr. and Mrs. L. had a daughter, the reverfionary intereft was vested in her, and tho' fhe died in the life-time of her father and mother, yet her representative (who is her husband) by taking out adminiftration to her, will have an undoubted right of difpofing of the fame. His. death in the life-time of Mrs. L. will not make any difference. Lincoln's Inn. Mat. Duane.
