Summary
In Matter of Morgan (215 N.Y. 703) the Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division (164 A.D. 854) without opinion, stating in its memorandum: "The Appellate Division held that none of the remainders was taxable and that the tax appraiser and the surrogate were without jurisdiction in this proceeding to tax property that did not pass to the children of the testatrix by virtue of her will and that, therefore, the motion should not have been denied either on the ground that the appellant confessed jurisdiction by presenting the affidavit or upon the ground of laches."
