106 HIGH COURT OF CHANCERY.
"But my son, should he feel himself competent and so dis-
posed, may, by his last will, made according to law, give all or
any portion of the property he may, so as aforesaid take under
this my last will, unto my daughter, his sister, or to any one
or more of her children or descendants, in such manner and

her life, and "to be bound as aforesaid for the payment of the
said annuity to my son, and then to go with and as a part of
