In the year 1904, legal proceedings were taken over the will to determine certain
ques- tlone connected therewith, such as the nature and scope of the hospital, and if there was an un- exhausted portion of the estate, whether it could be applied to charitable purposes generally,
Tho result of those legal proceedings was a lengthy order minde by the Chief Justice, who held that the residuary béquest was a good charitable bequest, that the executors and trustees should proceed with the hospital project according to Mr Sharp's instructions and that any sur plus should be applied to char able purposes.
After the opening of the hos pital, it was found difficult to apply in actual practice tho term which the testator expressed in his will-"the helpless, formaken and him who is done and desolato."
