Citation | 3 A. 355,42 N.J.E. 317 |
Parties | HENDERSHOT v. SHIELDS' EX'R. |
Court | New Jersey Court of Chancery |
L. De Witt Taylor, for complainant.
W. H. Morrow, for defendant.

"My executor is hereby directed to lease and rent out all my real estate while the same shall remain unsold, and receive the rents thereof until possession thereof is taken by a purchaser; the net amount of which rents, after deducting the charges for the repair and insurance of the property, shall he a part of the income and not of the principal of my estate."
