BANKS, DANIEL B. An opinion has been filed by Judge Dennis, in the Circuit Court, of Baltimore, construing the will of Daniel B. Banks, who died January 20, 1875, leaving an estate valued at abut $500,000. The question before the court was as to the operation of the proviso in the will as to the share of Frank Godwin, grandson of the testator, who died under the age of twenty-one years. Judge Dennis holds that the proviso is good, and that the share of the grandson was diverted by his death to the heirs of Daniel B. Banks. The court also holds that the interest of Andrew Banks, son of the testator, in the share of Frank Godwin did not pass to the trustee in insolvency of Andrew Banks. The case will be taken to the Court of Appeals. Mr. Banks owned valuable property both in Baltimore county and city. The Baltimore County Democrat, December 25, 1897

The child's parents died about four years ago and she was taken in charge by her mother's sister, Mrs. Mary E. Randall, of Waverly. About two months ago the child went on a visit to another aunt, Mrs. Martha A. Snowden, sister of Mrs. Randall, who resides near Greenwood, in the 11th district of this county. While there she wrote to her aunt, Mrs. Randall, that she would not return.

Failing in that he beat her severely and she was laid up in bed for several days. The writ was issued at the instance of Mrs. Randall and directed to Mrs. Snowden. After hearing the testimony on both sides the court directed that the child remain in the custody of Mrs. Snowden until after the indictment, which has already been found against Frank Randall, for assault, is disposed of. Mr. Eugene Burton represented the petitioner and Mr. A. A. Piper the respondents. Since the habeas corpus proceedings, Mr. Piper has been appointed guardian of the child by the Orphans' Court.

The Bill states that Benjamin Burke, being possessed of certain real estate in Baltimore county, containing fourteen and one-half acres, died intestate and without issue sometime in the year 1886, leaving as his heirs at law surviving him the complainants, George Johnson and Rachel Ellen Johnson, who are the only children of Catharine Johnson, a deceased sister of said Benjamin; Lewis Burke, Mary Jane Hall and John Burke, children of Elizabeth or Betsey Burke, a deceased sister of said Benjamin , and Laura Burke, a daughter of Henry Burke, who was also a son of said Elizabeth or Betsey Burke; that Henry Burke, a brother of said Benjamin, is supposed to have died in Harrisburg, in Pennsylvania, but his heirs, if any living, are unknown; that John Burke, when last heard from was living in Philadelphia, but whether he be living or dead is unknown, and if dead the names of his children, if any, are unknown; that letters of administration on his personal estate were granted to Lewis Burke, who has fully administered the same; that the real estate is not susceptible of advantageous partition amongst the parties in interest, and that it is for the benefit, interest and advantage of all the parties to have said real estate sold and the proceeds arising therefrom distributed among those interested; that an offer of $225 in cash has been made for the property, which the complainants are willing to accept. It is thereupon ordered by the Circuit Court for Baltimore county, this 5th day of August, 1890, that the plaintiffs, by causing a copy of this order to be inserted in some newspaper published in Baltimore county, once a week for four successive weeks, before the 8th day of September, 1890, give notice to the said absent and unknown defendants of the object and substance of this bill of complaint, and warn them to be and appear in this Court, in person or by attorney, on or before the 23d day of September, 1890, to show cause, if any they have, why a decree should not pass as prayed.
