Novel Point of Law to be Raised as a 
Result of the Will of the Late Dan- 
tel W. Friend of Manchester 
Sidney Perley, Esq , of Salem, is to 
bring a suit in equity in the probate 
court, which will raise the novel point 
of law as to whether money can be left 
in trust in perpetuity 'to a_ political 
party or not. e 
Under the law it is not possible to 
. create a trust in perpetuity for an in- 
dividual, but such a trust can be cre- 
ated for religious, charitable and phil- 
anthropic objects. 
The present action is brought on 
the will of the late Daniel W. Friend, 
of Manchester, who left an estate of 
about $8000, and whose will bequeathes 
$2000 in trust forever, the income to 
be paid annually to the treasurer of 
the prohibition party of Massachu- 
setts, or if such party should not exist 
—to the political party doing most for 
the suppression of the evil of drink. 
Mr. Friend was well known through- 
out the state as a temperance advo- 
cate, both politically and otherwise, 
and such a provision was no surprise 
to his friends, but his executor, Julius 
F. Rabardy, of Manchester, another 
earnest temperance man, finds that 
there is likely to be some opposition 
to this disposition of the property from 
the heirs and so asks the court to de- 
termine if this trust can legally be 
created. 
In behalf of the will it will be claimed 
that the object is clearly the promo- 
tion of the temperance cause and as 
such the bequest will fall into the class 
for philanthropic purposes. 
The decision will establish a pre- 
cedent in this state, where the point 
has never before been raised.
