COURT OF APPEAL
TRUSTEES' REMUNERATION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Court of Appeal (Justices Williams, Denniston, Edward and Sim) this afternoon sat to hear a case re Knox, deceased, a case of appeal stated by the Minister of Stamps under section 30, of the Death Duties Act, 1908. The question for consideration is whether an amount left to trustees as remuneration for their administration could be deducted from the final balance of the estate assessed for death duty as a "testamentary expense" within the meaning of' that term in section 3, sub-section 3, of the Death Duties Act, 1008. The amount involved is £355. If this sum is not payable as duty, it will go to swell the revenue of the estate, which is applicable to the foundation ol a home for incurables at Auckland. Mr. Richmond, of Auckland, appears for the trustees, and the Solicitor-General for the Commissioner of Stamps.
