Wells v. Shook, 8 Blotch/. 257.
Objects of a power. Where property is settled subject to a power given to any person or persons to appoint the same among a limited class, the members of the class are called the objects of the power. Thus, if a parent has a power to appoint a fund among his children, the children are called the objects of the power. Mozley Sj- W.
