ing has been ordered. Unless the plaintiff could not be entitled to relief under any state of facts, which evidently was not the opinion of the Appellate Division, the order should have provided for a further hearing of the case.

of the estate. After a trial at Special Term, | been reversed, and no new trial or accountan interlocutory judgment was entered, by which it was decreed that the will of William Z. King gave the personal property to his wife for life with power to dispose of the principal for her own personal use; that the wife during her lifetime did not use all the principal of the personal property; that as to the unused portion the wife was trustee for the remaindermen; that the defendant should account to the plaintiff for the acts of the wife as trustee of the personal property; that in said account he should charge himself with the whole principal received by her, and directed a reference to take and state the account. In pursuance of this decree the defendant filed in the clerk's office an account in which he stated that he was unable to find any of the personal property of William Z. King, but did not therein charge himself with the principal sum received by his testatrix. Thereupon, on the application of the plaintiff, on the theory that the defendant had failed to comply with the interlocutory judgment because he did not charge himself with the principal sum received by his testatrix, final judgment was entered against him for that sum. From this judgment he appealed to the Appellate Division, giving notice of intention to review the interlocutory judgment. The appellate court modified the interlocutory decree by striking therefrom the provision charging the defendant with the principal sum received by his testatrix, and reversed the final judgment, but did not order a new trial. 133 App. Div. 191, 117 N. Y. Supp. 468. It allowed an appeal to this court from so much of its judgment as modified the interlocutory decree of the Special Term and certified questions of law for our determination. See (Sup.) 119 N. Y. Supp. 1144.

The practice of the Appellate Division was unauthorized. The defendant, by stating in his notice of appeal to that court that he intended to review the interlocutory judgment, brought that judgment before it, and, if that judgment was erroneous for any reason, he was entitled to its reversal or modification, and to a reversal or modification of the final judgment which was founded on it. Had the Appellate Division affirmed both those judgments, the defendant would have had the right to review that action in this court, and he could then have assailed the judgment for any error. The Appellate Division, by permitting an appeal and certifying questions, could not limit the right of the defendant to sustain the modification on any ground, or limit the power of this court to review the whole case. It is only when an appeal is allowed under subdivision 2 of section 190, Code Civ. Proc., that questions should be certified to this court. In this case the plaintiff could appeal from the judgment of the Appellate Division as a matter of right and without leave from that court. There was a further

On the merits, we are of opinion that the will of William Z. King was properly construed by the Appellate Division on the first appeal in this case. Tuthill v. Davis, 121 App. Div. 290, 105 N. Y. Supp. 672. That is to say, its effect was to give the widow a life estate with the absolute power of disposition during her lifetime, with remainder over of such part as she might not dispose of to the persons named in the will. Terry v. Wiggins, 47 N. Y. 512; Crozier v. Bray, 120 N. Y. 366, 24 N. E. 712; Leggett v. Firth, 132 N. Y. 7, 29 N. E. 950. But the fact that the widow's estate was for life only did not authorize the Special Term to charge the defendant with the whole property she had received from her husband's estate in the face of his statement that he could not find any part of that estate in his hands. It is doubtless true that ordinarily a life tenant in possession of personal property is a trustee to preserve the principal for the remaindermen to whom it may pass on his death. In this case, however, the widow had the right to dispose of the property in her lifetime, and as to such property as she did dispose of neither she nor her executor was bound to account to the remaindermen because they had no interest in it. If none of the husband's property remained at the time of the widow's death or could be found at that time, as stated by the defendant, it is evident that the widow had disposed if it. In Leggett v. Firth, supra, where there was a gift similar to that before us, of a life estate to the widow with a gift over on her death of the "remainder, if any," the court construed the gift as a gift of what might be left and it was held that a conveyance by the widow passed a good title in fee. In Swarthout v. Ranier, 143 N. Y. 499, 38 N. E. 726, the gift to the wife was of a more limited character, "to have and to hold for her comfort and support all of the above-named property if she needs the same during her natural lifetime, if she should outlive me," followed by a gift over. After the death of the widow the remaindermen sought to set aside a mortgage executed by her. This court held that presumptively the mortgage was executed by the wife in good faith for her support, and that, if there were extrinsic facts showing that it was executed in bad faith to defraud the remaindermen, the burden was on the remaindermen to prove the extrinsic facts. The presumption should be the same in this case if the estate of the husband has disappeared. We are therefore of opinion that the burden rested on the plaintiff to show that some part of the husband's estate passed to the defend

cation of the interlocutory judgment made by the Appellate Division was correct.

It does not follow, however, that the plaintiff is not entitled under any state of facts to recover, or that he is necessarily precluded by the account filed by the defendant. the accounting he may be able to show that the widow left a substantial estate. Almost the whole of the husband's estate was represented by government bonds and a deposit in a savings bank. The bonds matured and were paid. It is possible that these moneys might be traced into property which the widow left at her decease. Even if it were not possible to so trace this fund, if the widow left securities of property which did not proceed from other sources, a presumption might arise that they represented a part of the hysband's estate. We do not decide this question, for the record does not show what es tate the widow left nor its condition. It may be she left no property, or, if she left property, that it was insufficient to pay her debts. If the latter should be the case, it would be plain that she had expended all her husband's AUERBACH, Appellant, v. CURIE, Respondestate, and her creditors would be entitled ent.
