Appeal from the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, Fourth Department.

We find in the language of the will when read in connection with the codicils, a clear intent on the part of the testator that the children of his deceased son, Lorenzo Burrows, who are of his next-of-kin, should take under his will by right of substitution. ( Matter of Evans, 234 N.Y. 42.)
