Gordon J.A., for the majority of the court, held that on the authority of Cameron v. Haszard the rule laid down in Duffield v. Duffield was binding and there was nothing in the will repugnant to holding that the estate vested in the son at the time of the death of the deceased, subject to becoming divested, should he die before attaining the age of 30 years.
