พลย Coroner,

The case for the appellants was that duty was not payable on the estate because a settlement had been made on Lady Chater by virtue of the fact that she was given an annuity of £10,000. The question of whether a fund had been set aside for this pur pose had nothing to do with the mat

ter.

This morning, Mr. Patter made his reply and stated that the crucial point of the case was whether a be- quest of an annuity amounted to a settlement or

not,

according to Section 26 of the Estate Duty Ordinance. His case was that the gift of an annuity by a will, without any direction to set aside a portion of the estate to meet it, did not con- stitute a settlement,
