Opinion

Appeals from judgments dismissing the complaints upon the merits, with costs, rendered after a trial by the court without á jury.

For example, the account in the Albany Savings Bank was transferred by decedent to an account in the name of “ Edward Malary, in trust for John Malary.” The court below found and the parties stipulated that decedent was. of sound mind at the time of transfer although he had at that time resolved to take his own life.
