TOWLE v. NESMITH, Ex'r.

A bequest to a town for the use and benefit of "the poor widows, and children under ten years of age," is not void for uncertainty.

They are "the poor widows, and children under ten years of age," who are inhabitants of the town. They can easily be ascertained. Gafney v. Kenison, 64 N.H. 354, 356; Lovell v.
