A testator having appointed trustees for certain uses, and inter alia, to pay to the legatees therein after mentioned, their heirs, executors and assignees, certain sums of money, and thereafter named the legatees and sums, but without the addition in that part of the deed, of their heirs, executors, or assignees; one of the legatees predeceasing the testator, the legacy was found to fall by his death. 2dly, Certain subjects being left to two of them equally, and one of them predeceasing, there was found to be no jus accrescendi. 3dly, The testator among other things having legated his household furniture, the legatee was not found to have right to such of the furniture as belonged to the executors of the testator's wife, who predeceased him, as her share.
