Park, deceased, and the heirs of Nathan Park, deceased. 1. Where it is clearly the intention of the parties to convey the whole estate, equity will decree a conveyance of the fee according to the intention of the parties, notwithstanding the want of words of inheritance in the grant. 2. If a trustee dies without executing the trust vested in him, the trust survives, and equity will decree its due execution. 3. Where a testator, by his will, has directed his executor to purchase real estate, and hold it subject to certain trusts in said will named, but the deed therefor contains no declaration of the trust, the executor will, nevertheless, be declared to have been seized of the land as trustee for the purposes specified in the will. 4.

A house and lot was purchased by the executor, which was occupied by the widow of the testator during her life. After the death of the widow, Jonathan P. Rolason, one of the heirs-at-law and devisees of the testator, claiming that the deed to the executor conveyed an estate only for his life, purchased of part of the heirs of the grantee their interest in the land, and claims title thereto in his own right. The complainants seek-First.
