In a will case before the
Supreme Court today, Mr. Jus

tors to set aside £1,500 of an
estate to provide an additional
£1/5/ a week for a widow.
Florrie Etheldreda Traeger,
62, of Smith-Dorrien avenue,
Galway Estate, had asked for
additional income from the es
tate of her husband, Conrad
Albert Traeger, who died on
March 10, 1947.
She set out that she married
Traeger in 1938. He was then
68. He left her the use of a
house and £1/10/ a week, with
the rest of the £4,138 estate
going to his children.

A wife now receiving £78 a
year and the use of a house
from her husband's £4,000 es
tate, today sought an increased
allowance before Mr. Justice
Mayo in the Supreme Court.

Smith-Dorrien avenue, Galway
Estate, applied under the Testa
tor's Family Maintenance Act
for provision from the estate
of her husband, Conrad Albert
Traeger, who died on March 10,
1947.

affidavit that her husband had
left her and also nine children
of his former marriage.
He left her the use of a house
and £1/10/ a week. The rest of
his estate, he left to his chil
dren.

cluding an annuity was £129 a
