This committee had power to take and hold real estate, to sell and convey the same, to invest the fund, and to do every act and thing in connection therewith which the testatrix could have done when alive. The attesting witness was held to be disqualified because she was a member of the executive committee possessing these broad and comprehensive powers. In the case at bar the residuary estate is devised to the executor in trust for the establishment and maintenance of a manual training school devoted to the instruction of boys and girls in useful arts and trades. The bequest is not to any committee or advisory board but to the Scranton Trust Company as executor and trustee for the uses and purposes specified in the will. The trustee holds the legal title, takes the fund, administers the residuary estate, and will be legally responsible to account for all moneys and property set apart under the residuary clause of the will for the charitable use. It is true that the testator named an advisory board to act in conjunction with the trustee in all matters conneeted with the administration of the charity, and it muet be conceded that great confidence was reposed in this advisory board by decedent. It is also apparent that the testator desired his trustee to have the benefi. . .

Jeanne Bécu, Comtesse (Madame) du Barry (1743-1793). Madame du Barry was born Marie-Jeanne Bécu at Vaucouleurs, Lorraine, the illegitimate daughter of Anne Becu, who was variously reported as a seamstress or a cook. Her father was possibly Jean Baptiste Gormand of Vaubernier, a friar. During her childhood, an extra-marital lover to her mother funded her education at a convent. At the age of 15 Marie-Jeanne moved to Paris, where, using the name Jeanne Rancon, she worked as a milliner's assistant in a shop. As reflected in art from the time, she was a remarkably attractive woman. Her beauty came to the attention of Jean du Barry, a nobleman, in 1763. He made her his mistress and helped establish her career as a courtesan in the highest circles of Parisian society, enabling her to take several wealthy men as her benefactors. She first served as courtesan to Louis François Armand du Plessis, duc de Richelieu. Jean du Barry, however, saw her as a means of influence with Louis XV, who became aware of her in 1768. Marie-Jeanne, however, could not qualify as an official royal mistress unless she had a title; this was solved by her marriage to Du Barry's brother, Count Guillaume du Barry, in 1769. She was presented to the King's family and the court on April 2, 1769. While she was part of the faction that brought down the Duke of Choiseul, Minister of foreign affairs, she was unlike her late predecessor Madame de Pompadour in that she had little political influence upon the King. While known for her good nature and support of artists, the King's financial extravagance towards her was the source of increasing unpopularity. Her relationship with Marie Antoinette, the Dauphine of France was contentious. The dauphine supported Choiseul as the proponent of the alliance with Austria and also defied court protocol by refusing to speak to the Countess du Barry, due to her feelings about the latter's background. Upon the King's death in May 1774, she was banished from the court to the convent of Pont-au-Dames. Two years later she moved to her estate near Louveciennes, where she continued her career as a courtesan, having relationships with both Henry Seymour and the Duke of Brissac. In 1792 she made several trips to London on the pretext of recovering stolen jewelry; she was suspected of giving financial aid to emigres from the French Revolution. In the following year, she was arrested by the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris on charges of treason. While in prison, her cellmate was fellow courtesan Grace Elliott. After a trial, she was executed by guillotine on the Place de la Concorde on December 8, 1793. Comtesse du Barry (1743-1793) Condemned as a counter-revolutionary by the Revolutionary Tribunal of Paris in December 1793, she was guillotined. Reportedly, she became quite hysterical during her execution: "She screamed, she begged mercy of the horrible crowd that stood around the scaffold, she aroused them to such a point that the executioner grew anxious and hastened to complete his task." Her last words to the executioner, "Encore un moment, monsieur le bourreau, un petit moment", (Just a moment, executioner, a small moment) were her most famous.

(Hewitt v. Lord Dacre, 2 Keen, 622). And the same case confirms the right to appoint to the husband of an object of the power. (See, too, Thornton v. Bright, 2 Myl. and C. 230). An appointment to the separate use of a daughter for life, and after her decease as she shall appoint, and, in default, to her executors and administrators, is valid, and will vest the fund in an appointee under the daughters will. (Bray v. Bree, 2 Clark and Fin. 453). An appointment to the trustees of a daughter. s marriage settlement, which had expressly disposed of any interest the daughter might take under such appointment, is good. (Limbard v. Grote, 1 Myl. and K. 1). The judgment in Thornton v. Bright, 2 Sugd. Pow. 652, has been reversed on appeal, (1 Myl. and C. 230), thereby establishing, that an appointment of real estate to trustees, upon trust, for the separate use of a daughter during the joint lives of herself and her husband, is valid.
