Facts
The testatrix left £300 worth of annuities to her husband ‘for his sole use; and at his death, the remaining part of what is left, that he does not want for his own wants and use to be divided between’ a number of beneficiaries.
Judgment
Sir Richard Arden, Master of the Rolls held that no trust arose, and the husband took all the property beneficially. Making a gift was the dominant intention, not to bind the husband with a trust.
