long as the power should be permitted to remain; or whether her receipt of the dividends flowed from an equitable interest she was to have ab origine. So upon such a bill after her death, if she had died, leaving him surviving, it would have been competent to him to show by evidence, upon what footing she received the dividends. Upon the evidence, the utmost intended was to secure to her an income; and, if that only was intended, it by no means destroys the existence of trust; for if the intention was to give her an estate for life, not depending upon his will, still the capital would be his. It might turn out upon inquiry, that she had enjoyed the income from it in this sense; that it was nothing more than income of his gift from time to time; as being revocable under the power of attorney; and the manner, in which the banker's accounts were kept, may prove that. It will be proper therefore to direct inquiries as to all the circumstances.
