[JANUARY, 1915
question whether he was a competent trustee
of any other than an English settlement.
The first question was whether this was a
Scottish
settlement.
In
his Lordship's
opinion it was a Scottish settlement pure and
simple.
The general
rule was
that the
question was decided by the domicile of the
settler unless there were contrary indications.
In the present case there were abundant
contrary indications, and from beginning to
end it was a Scottish settlement.
It was said
that as all the beneficiaries were in England,
and the present trustees and trust securities
were English, the Public Trustee ought to be
appointed, but nothing turned on those facts.
The time to ascertain the nature of the
settlement was the date when it was made.
The Public Trustee Act, 1906, did not extend
to a foreign settlement, and
there was
nothing in the Act which enabled the Public
Trustee to accept trusts outside the jurisdic
tion, but that did not prevent him from
accepting the trusts of an English settlement
which included property outside the jurisdic
tion.
