A testament was reduced, it having been proved by the writer's oath, That it was not read over to the defunct at signing, nor was there any evidence, save the writer's own assertion, that he got any instructions from the defunct in what terms to draw the testament, so that the whole resolved upon the writer's faith alone. At the same time it was proved, That the defunct, some few hours before the testament was executed, had dictated a scroll of the particulars of her will, which differed in many articles from the testament.—See Appendix.
