Pee Cueiam,

¶1There is no possible doubt, under all the authorities, that John Reutter took an estate in fee under the will of his father in the land in question. The question presented is only an ordinary instance of the direct application of the rule in Shelley’s case. The whole subject was so fully discussed in the opinion of the lower court in the case of Grimes v. Shirk, 169 Pa. 74, that a mere reference thereto is sufficient.

¶2Judgment affirmed.
