OF BEQUESTS WITH DIRECTIONS AS TO APPLICATION OR ENJOYMENT.

Where a fund is bequeathed absolutely to or for the benefit of any person, but the will contains a direction that it shall be applied or enjoyed in a particular manner, the legatee shall be entitled to receive the fund as if the will had contained no such direction. A sum of money is bequeathed towards purchasing country residence for A, or to purchase an annuity for A, or to place A a in any business. A chooses to receive the legacy in money. He is entitled to do so.
