Heard before WHITE, C. J., and SPENCER, BOSLAUGH, SMITH, McCOWN, NEWTON and CLINTON, JJ.


SPENCER, Justice.

This case involves a question as to the inheritance of that portion of the estate of Vivian M. Neil, deceased, remaining after setting over to the surviving husband the property assignable under sections 30-103 and 30-101(4), R.R.S.1943. The surviving spouse claims it should be assigned to him rather than to 21 nieces and nephews of the deceased's adoptive mother. The trial court assigned the property to the nieces and nephews. We affirm.
