The Surrogate.

In this proceeding I am required to pass upon the validity of the following clause of [171]*171the will of decedent: “ I hereby direct that my executor hereinafter named to have masses read for the repose of my soul for which I direct him to expend the sum of five hundred dollars.” I am constrained by the decision of the Court of Appeals in the case of Holland v.
