Will interpretation and estate revocation in old case
The court debated whether a 1776 will found by verdict and differing from a 1748 will should revoke the latter without production. The Lord Chief Justice's bench held the first will not be the dying instrument, so judgment went to the heir at law. Additional notes report thefts, robberies, and obituaries of several figures including Rev. Symonds and Admiral Hamar.
