The words "pecuniary legacies" are broad enough to include rights to receive income under the trust set up in the seventh article. Matter of Foster, 143 Misc. 191, 194, 256 N.Y.S. 383. We cannot read the provision as expressing an intent on the part of the testator that only legacies of specific sums of money given outright would, if they lapse, fall into the residue, and we can only conclude that the provision was inserted merely out of an abundance of caution.
