OTTAWA, Dec. 22-—Wealth moved a step closer to some large Toronto family today but. the question of which one remained unsettled. The Supreme Court of Canada declared clause nine of the famous baby-race will of Charles Vance Mitar was valid and rejected an appeal by Millar relatives based on the ground of public policy. Clause nine d rectcd that the resi- due of Miller's estate, estimated at $500,000 or more, should be paid to the mother who gave birth in To- ronlo to e largest number of chil- dren in the l0 years following llls death In case of two or more moth- ers havtng equal numbers of chi!- dren and a larger number than any others the money was to be equally divided between them. lViillar died Oct. 31, 1926. The court's decision throws the -quest'on back to the Ontario courts, probably to Mr. Justice’ Middleton, wno will be called upon to decide which mot-tier or mothers will get the money. The only tlfng‘ likely i0 delay matters is all appeal by killer's next of kin to the Privy Council. Samuel Factor, solicitor for Arabella West and Alexander Butcher who carried the appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, was unable to say whether a. further appeal would be launched. All official of the National Trust Company. one cf the executors of the estate. said every effort would be made to expert te matters so that t-lle woman entitled to the money would get: it. Five judges of the Supreme Court. of Canada were unanimous in up- holding decisions of the Ontario courts that cause nine of the will was not offensive to public policy and should not be disregarded. Mr. Justice Crocket disagreed with some of the reasoning in the llln ll judg- ment, ivrittrll by Cllicl Justice Sir Lyman Duff, but reached the some conclusion.
