called Daniel s Gift together with Carr s Lot and Tracy s Park , during their natural life, and at their
decease the then tracts of land above mentioned I will and give to my grandson, Thomas

Taggart, administrators of Robert B. Taggart, Gebhard Bulke and James Pierpont. The bill states
that Hazeltine Taggart acquired during her lifetime certain property which, shortly before her
death, she was, by undue influence, persuaded to convey to her husband, which, itself, is claimed
illegal, and, besides she was in such a state of mind as to be unable to make a valid deed. The
property afterwards mortgaged for $3,000 by R. B. Taggart, in which, it is claimed, he held only a
life estate. Mr. Pierpont a short time ago sold the property under foreclosure of mortgage of $600,
which was given by Hazeltine Taggart. The bill asks that the court may pass a decree ordering Mr.
Pierpont to turn over the remainder purchase money, after deducting the expenses of the sale and
payment of the mortgage. –– Baltimore County Democrat March 30, 1895

two pieces of Mrs. Taggart's property. The creditors of her husband, Robert B. Taggart, claim the
money on the allegation that the property was paid for by Mr. Taggart were made in fraud of her

aside. The case was argued by Mr. Frank Gosnell on behalf of the plaintiffs and Messrs. D. G.

WEBSTER, LEE
On Saturday last, in the Circuit Court at Towson, Judges Fowler and Burke signed an opinion
in the case of Lee Webster against William T. Lee et al. The matter at issue was a petition filed by
James C. Dennis, administrator d. b. n. c. t. a., of Lee Webster, deceased, asking that Richard S.
Albert, trustee, be required to account for an alleged balance due to estate of his decedent. The
court dismissed the petition. The facts in the case were set out at length by the court, and are
somewhat involved.
Briefly, they are that William Webster died owning, with other property, a five-sixth interest in
Mount Repose farm, near Cockeysville. One-fourth of his whole estate he left to William T. Lee, in
trust for Margaret L. Webster, his wife, and Lee Webster, his son. Lee failed to qualify and Albert
was appointed a trustee in his place. Robert Henderson was his executor. He sold Mount Repose to
Lee Webster for $10,833.33. Albert received as one-fourth of the estate $6,427.47, all of which
was invested in mortgages on Mount Repose. Lee Webster owed his mother, besides this to the
trustee, $10,000. Mrs. Webster also borrowed $1,500 and assigned one of her mortgages as
security for it, and gave this sum also to Lee.
The property was again sold, and this time bought by Mrs. Webster for $11,000, the purchase
price being applied to the trust mortgages and to the payment of her own. The trust money was
again invested in mortgages on this property subject to a loan of $3,500 made by Emanuel
Herman. The mortgage to Herman was foreclosed and the property only brought enough to pay
$2,023.76 on the mortgages held by the trustee.
The court held that the trustee should not be made to account for this. That as Lee Webster had
died before his mother, and had made her his sole devisee, and she had enjoyed the money no
substantial wrong had been done to anybody. –– Baltimore County Union, 8 Nov 1902

Caveat to a will. On the 28th ult. A caveat to the last will and testament of John Whiteford,
Sr., deceased, of Chesnut Ridge, in the 8th District, was filed in the Orphans Court of Baltimore
County by Hon. J. Fred C. Talbott and F. I. Duncan as counsel for the caveators. The allegations

will. The deceased left his farm of 195 acres to his only son, and after his death it is to go to the
nephew of the testator. The son cannot dispose of the land in any way, mortgage it or in any
manner use it to his own advantage, except as to what is produced upon it, and he wants to get
possession of it absolutely. –– Maryland Journal, 1 Feb 1890

Laura Wilson, &c. vs. Philip Wilson &c. In the Circuit Court for Baltimore County. The object of

with John Coaling, Anna Wilson, and Benjamin Wilson, the complainants, with the defendants,
Philip Wilson, Robert Wilson and Henrietta Watts intermarried with ---- Watts (as in paper), his

That said real estate is not susceptible of division, and that it would be for the interest and
advantage of all parties that the same should be sold and the proceeds divided among the parties
according to the several interests, but that no sale can be made because the said Philip Wilson,
-----Watts, and Henrietta his wife, reside out of the state of Maryland, in parts unknown to
complainant. It is thereupon, this 22d day of October, 1858, adjudged and ordered, that the
complainants, by causing a copy of this order to be inserted in some newspaper published in

WORLEY, JOHN A.
Judge Burke has filed an opinion in the case of John J. Dobler, trustee, under the will of John
A. Worley, against Mary C. Worley and others. The suit was brought for the purpose of having the
will of Mr. Worley construed, or to determine who is entitled to receive the residue of the estate
now in the hands of the trustee, who, since the death of Mr. Worley, was elected a member of the
Supreme Bench of Baltimore City. Judge Burke holds that the residue of the estate vests in the
testator s daughter, Mary Celinda Worley, and that his wife, Mrs. Johanna Worley, has no interest
in it. In his opinion Judge Burke says in regard to the construction of the will:
During the widowhood of his wife, Johanna Worley, she was to receive from the trustee the whole
net income of the estate. In the event of her remarriage she was to receive only the house No.
2028 Madison avenue and $10,000, and the balance of the estate was to be held by the trustee for
the use of any child or children of the testator left living at the time of his death.
Upon the death of the wife the same persons would take the residue of the estate as would take it
in the event of her remarriage.
The testator left surviving him one child, Mary Celinda Worley, who is an infant and who is now
living. The widow having renounced the provisions of the will, and having had her dower set apart
for her, and having received from the executor of the estate of John A. Worley her share of the
personality, must for the purpose of this case be considered as dead. And having in contemplation
of law departed this life, I will decree that the entire estate of John A. Worley now in the hands of
John J. Dobler, trustee, is vested in Mary Celinda Worley, the infant daughter of the testator, and
that upon her attaining her majority it will be the duty of said trustee to transfer said estate of her
absolutely.
The mother of the late Mr. Worley, whose estate he inherited, was a daughter of the late Edward
Rider, Sr., and owned valuable property in the neighborhood of Sherwood, N. C. R. R. ––
