Will of Christopher Tennant in dispute at prerogative court
The Prerogative Court heard William Hotham as executor contesting a will dated May 14 1812 of Christopher Tennant late of Sampson's Hall Suffolk who died May 15 1816 aged about 41. The will with alterations bears Tennant's hand and initials and names Rev. Thomas Jones as executor and residuary legatee but enmity with Jones and favors for Hotham appear. The case tests whether Tennant intended the paper to operate as his will despite lack of witnesses and the irregular attestation.
