Death of Captain George VV. Stiles.
The announcement of the death of Capt.
George W. Stiles, which occurred at his
residence on Charlton street yesterday
morning about 11 o’clock, was received
with genuine regret by his mauy friends in
this community. Captain Stiles had
been a sufferer for the past year, but
had improved somewhat during the last
several months, and was about, attending
to his duties as City Marshal. Within the
past four days, however, he was confined
to bis room. Yesterday morning he arose
and dressed, and was sitting iu a chair
in his room reading the paper,
when he was seized with a con
vulsion, and shortly afterwards died. Capt.
.stiles was Lieutenant and Captain in the
Savannah Volunteer Guards daring the
entire war, and was a brave and gallant
officer. He was one of the oldest active
members of the battalion, having been
connected with it for twenty-six years.
On the reorganization of the command in
1872 he was elected Captain of Company A.,
which position, as also that of City Marsha),
he held at the time of his death. He was
about forty-eight years of age, and was un
married. but leaves a mother and brothers
and sisters, besides a large circle of friends,
to mourn bis loss.
Funeral ol Dir. JolinDI. Cooper.
The funeral of Mr. Jno. M. Cooper took
place yesterday morning at ten. o’clock from
his late residence on South Broad street,
and was very largely attended. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. J. B. Beimensnyder, pastor of
the Lutheran Church, of which the deceased
was a member. Iu his address, following
the services, the reverend gentleman paid a
beautiful tribute to the character of the
deceased, and impressively dwelt upon the
lesson that death teaches. The pall bearers
were Messrs. Chas. Ratz, J. S. F. Lan
caster, Geo. S. Qnantock, D. G. Fnrse,
I. D. LaRoche and A. Rahn. The remains
were interred in Laurel Grove Cemetery, and
were attended by the members of Zerubba-

THE GREAT WILL CASE.
Oleetlnc In the Interest of the "Hblr-

THK TKLFA’R KST.iTK OFfcK #600
000 INVOLVED.
In accordance with a call of the Chairman
of the Irish Crusaders, a meeting was held
at Metropolitan Hall last evening to take
into consiaeration the condition of Ireland
•as affected by the European war, and to
contribute to the “skirmishing fund.”
About half-past eight o’clock the meeting
was called to order by Mr. C. S. Ledlie, the
Chairm&u, who stated that the body known
as the Irish Crusaders had been formed
some three mouths since, and it was the in
tention to keep it up. A committee, of
which he was Chairman, bad been appointed
to solicit subscriptions 10 the “skirmishing
fund,” the details of which were published
weekly in the Irish Morld. The names of
all the subscribers were given in full, so
there could be no mistake. The
prime object ot the Crusaders was
to infuse a national spirit amoDg the
Irishmen of Savannah. There had been a
great deal of parade and bluster and useless
work here, but very little had been accom
plished. Ia other cities something had
been done ; and a comparison with the work
iu other cities of equal size was s reflection
upon the Irishmen of Savannah. The time
had now come for the Irishmen to show
whether they were true Irishmen or not.
What assistance was rendered by them
would not operate against them injuriously
iu any respect. If they could not give
tangible assistance they could at
least give the “ Crusaders ” their
good wishes, and not attempt to deprecate
the efforts of those who felt they worked in
a good cause. Those present would have
the opportunity of contributing daring the
evening to the skirmishing fund. Ia the
meantime they would be entertained by an
address from Mr. T. B. Catherwood, whom
he had the pleasure of introducing.
Mr. Catherwood responding, was greeted
with applause. He spoke earnestly in favor
of organization, and the cause espoused by
the Irish Crusaders. He urged the impor
tance of the Irishmen of Savannah being
ready and prepared to respond when the
call was made upon them to assist in the
achieving of the independence. He paid a
glowing eulogy to the memory of John
Mitchell, and cited his devotion and noble
character as worthy of ail emulation,
bhould Ireland’s opportunity grow out of
the war complications, it would do no
harm for the Irishmen of Savannah
to be ready. If you can not bear
arms, you can at least assist those
who will. There was no 6cnse in talking
about achieving the independence of Irelaud
without a resort to arms. Human blood is
the only sacrifice for human liberty, and it
was mawkish sentimentality tc talk about ac
complishing tnis grand object by peaceful
means. After an allusion to the work of
Daniel O’Coiinell, Emmett, Fitzgerald and
others, the speaker concluded with an earn
est appeal to his hearers, amidst loud ap
plause.
Mr. J. C. Duggan was next called upon,
and after reviewing the condition of the
Irish peasantry, and the situation generally,
submitted the following resolutions, which
were received with favor :
In view of the Eastern war now raging
between the Crescent and the Cross, wuich
convulses Europe, may involve Eugland aud
lead to “Ireland’s long looked for opportu
nity,” the Irishmen and friends of Ireland,
especially in America, appreciating the
present complications, which may precipi
tate the “irrepressible conflict” between the
Saxon and the Celt, are duly preparing for
the issue.
We Hold it to be the duty of the Irishmen
of Savannah, especially of Irish Americans,
aud friends of Ireland by sympathy or
biood, to unite In active co-operation with
their “kith and kin” for the amelioration
and diaenthr&lment of fatherland.
Reason and experience plainly mark out
the course to be pursued to reach success,
namely, organization thorough and com
plete, to obtain when needed money and
men.
It is a trite expression that “money ia the
sinews of war”—money to equip men.
Money, therefore, is indispensable ; without
it we can do nothing.
Men who, when the tocsin of war is
sounded, will respond to their country’s call,
in willing immolation, to illustrate one of the
grandest principles that God has implanted in
tiie human character, “The love of country,”
For next to the glorious martyrs who
saturated the streets of pagan Romo with
their heart’s blood iu defense of Christianity,
aud next to the noble “Crusaders” who laid
their bones to bleach upon the arid sands of
Palestine, to float over the Crescent the
royal banner of the Cross, must ever rank
the patriot who is willing to lay down his
life for his country.
“Than this no man bath greater Jove for
another, that he lay down his life for his
friend.”
This is the duty the coming crisis im
poses upon Irishmen that are true to her
cause, and not hirelings; to do or die; to
restore her Jong lost liberty; to put into
effect the hopes aud aspirations of seven
Jong centuries of bondage; to illustrate the
memorable lines of England’s greatest
poet, which afterwards became the life long
motto of the Irish liberator, Dauiei O’Con
nell:
“Hereditary bondsmen know ye not;
Who would be free themselves must strike the
blow. ”
There is another way in which you can aid
the Irish cause. A potent wing of the army
Of liberation and pioneers of the grand
movement, the skirmishing corps. You
can subscribe to the skirmishing fund, inau
gurated by one of Ireland's truest sons, J.
O’Donovan Rossa. and acknowledged weekly
in the Irish World. Any one present disposed
to contribute to this fuud can come forward
and do so, or hand it to any member of the
conjmittee, consisting of Messrs. Charles
S. Ledlie, Chairman;. J. C. Duggan, John J.
Coflky, Edward F. Davis, and it will be
duly forwarded and acknowledged in the
columns of the Irish World.
Mr. Collier, Mr. Nugent, Kelley and others
were called for, but did not respond. The
Chairman stated that Mr. John McLaughlin
had promised to be present aud address the
meeting, but had failed to appear, and their
programme in consequence was disarranged.
After several appeals for different persons
to express their views, which failed to dra*
out auy one, the Chairman aunouuoed that
the reception of subscriptions to the skir
mishing fund were in oraer.
After some delay Mr. Daniel O’Neal came
forward and deposited two dollars and re
corded his name, aud was followed by two
others, who were greeted with applause.
The invitation to subscribe was renewed,
but those present did not appear to be iD a
subscribing mood, and after the lapse ol
about ten minutes the audience grew restivt-
“waitiDg for something to turn up,” and
presently there was a general withdrawal,
aud in a few seconds the hall was almost-
eDi.rnly deserted.

* DecUion on an Important Point—Charge
of the Judge—Verdict of the Jury.
On the third of June, 1875, Miss Mary
Telfair, only surviving daughter of Gover
nor Telfair, who was Georgia’s Chief Magis
trate from 1786 to 1790, departed this life at
the family mansionin this city, aged eighty-
six years. Her sister, Mrs. Margaret Tellair
Hodgson, died in March, 1874, at the age of
seventy-nine years. These two ladies, after
the death of Mr. Hodgson, had lived alone,
and were somewhat noted for their peculiar
exclusiveness. They enjoyed an immense
estate, and prior to the death of Mrs. Hodg
son a scheme had been devised to erect a
memorial building to Mr. W. B. Hodg
son and present the same to the
Georgia Historical Society, and also to
make other liberal bequests. Before these
projects coaid be carried out Mrs. Hodgson
died. Miss Telfair, knowing her sis
ter’s wishes, proceeded to carry out the
original designs, and before her death in
June last had the satisfaction of seeing the
Hodgson bnilding completed. On tho 7th
July the will of Miss Telfair was filed
in the Court of Ordiuary. It was a
lengthy docomenr, and under its provisions
munificent bequests were made to several
prominent societies and institutions, among
them the Independent Presbyterian Chnrch,
the Union Society, the Widows’ Society,
Georgia Historical Society, Presbyterian
Chnrch of Augusta, the first Christian
church erected in Telfairville, Burke coun
ty, and an endowment of “The Telfair
Hospital for Females.” In addition to
these bequests there were a number of per
sonal legacies. The bequests to the severa!
institutions named were all accompanied
with certaiu restrictions aDd conditions of
a peculiar character, which, if not complied
with iu every particular, the property so
devised was to be repossessed by the trus
tees, and otherwise disposed of iu a manner
pointed cat.
The publication of the will in the. Mous
ing News created quite a sensation at the
time, and in a few days there were rumors
that it would be contested by certain heirs
of the estate. These rumors proved correct,
aud in a few months thereafter the will
was caveated in the Court of Ordinary by
A. P. Wetter, guardian ad litem, et al.
After a hearing, the Ordinary sastained
the will, and admitted the same to
probate. The cause was then appealed to
the Superior Court.
It came up for trial on Wednesday, the
6th of June, under the title of Win. Neyle

AN IMPORTANT POINT DECIDED.
After the conclusion of the testimony a
motion was made by the couasel for the
propounders to dismiss the caveat on the
ground that the three children of A. P.
Wetter were not heirs-at-law, etc. Argu
ment on this motion was made, when the
court rendered the following decision :
In Superior Court of Chatham county—In
the matter of the probate of the will of
Mary Telfair. Appeal, from Court of Or
dinary.
Upon the closing of the evidence the pro-
pounders. Wm. Neyle Habersham and Wil
liam Hunter, executors, etc., make a motion
to dismiss the caveat of Augustus P. Wetter,
guardian, etc., on the ground that his three
children are not heirs at law of the tes
tatrix, and could have had no interest ia the
estate of the said Mary Telfair, even if she
had died intestate.
It appears, from the facts in the case, that
the testatrix, who died on June —, 1875, was
the great grand aunt of the childreu of said
A. P. Wetter. Her only brother, or sister,
who died leaving issue, was Thomas Tel
fair, of the whole blood, whose only surviv
ing liueal descendants are his three great
grandchildren, through his only daughter,
Mary, who married Cobb, whose only daugh
ter, Alberta, married Wetter aud died, leav
ing the said great grand nephew and nieces
of testatrix. The said A. P. Wetter, as
guardian ad litem for the said three chil
dren, caveats tne said will.
Also, the will is caveated by the heirs at
law of G. Noble Jones, who was in life at
death of testatrix, and wno was the second
cousin of the stid Mary Telfair, being the
grandson of Dr. Jones, who married Mary
Gibbons, the own sister of Sarah Gibbous,
who was the mother of testatrix. Aud two
other second cousins of testatrix, through
her mother, join in the caveat of Joues. In
addition, it appears that Mrs. Thompson,
who does not caveat the will, is the second
cousin of testatrix through her father’s
brother, William Telfair.
It ia contended by the movants that there
having been no one, at the death of testa
trix, of closer kin than second cousins and
the great grandchildren of the brother of
the said testatrix, that tho ninth clause of
section 2484 of the Code of Georgia controls
the inheritance in law, and that the rules of
the canon law so govern as to cast the es
tate upon the secoud cousins to the entire
exclusion of the great grand nieces aud
nephew of Mary Telfair. If this be true
the children of Wetter have no standing in
court, and the caveat filed in their behalf
should be dismissed.
The decision of this question turns upon
the proper construction ol the ninth clause
of the sai<] section 2484 of the Code, which
is as follows: “The more remote degrees
shall be determined by the rules of the
canon law, as adopted and enforced in the
English courts prior to the fourth day of
July, A. D. 1776.” The act of 23J Decem
ber, 1789, Cobb’s Digest, p. 305, speaks of
the rules ot descent, where by statute of
Georgia, not expressly provided for, as be
ing referred to aud determined by the com
mon law, “as it hath stood since the first
settlement of this laud.” Jt would seem
that the words “canon law,” as used in the
said ninth clause ot section 2484 of the pres
ent Code, were interebargeaoie with, or put
by inadvertence tor “oomrnou Uw.” But
for the purposes of this opinion the lan
guage may be taken in its literal sense.
Section 2484 of the Code, down to and not
including the ninth clause thereof, only
provides for distribution among the persons
not further removed, in the ascending de
grees, than parents, uucles and
aunts; and not further removed, in
the descending degrees, than chilr
dreu and their descendants. brothers
and sisters, and their children and grand
children and first cousins. This precludes
the takiDg of grand parents, grand uncles
and aunts, great grand nephews and nieces,
and ail Cuwsipa other than first cousins, ex
cept by the law referred to in clause ^ of
section 2484. . ‘
Construing the whole of said section 2184
together, it appears that there are four
separate classes of persons who are capable
of inheriting the one after the other.
First. The husband or wife, and the child
reu and their descendants in the lineal line,
to the exclusion of all others.
Second. Brothers aud sisters or their child
ren and grandchildren and the father and
mother, certain restrictions being cast
around the motuei..
Third. First cousins, ou either father or
mother’s side, aud uncles and aunts.
Fourth. More remote degrees being gov
erned by the “cauou law, as adopted and en
forced in theEuglish courts,” etc.
Clause 7 of said section reads: “In all
degrees more remote than the foregoing
the paternal aud maternal next of kin shall
stand on an equal footing.” Construing
this with the language that goes before aud
that in clause 8, immediately following, it
seems clear that paternal aud maternal nex'
of fcin are put on an equal footing, provided
that they are not nearer than those classes
mentioned in the clauses of the said section
before clause No. 7, aud not more remote than
those mt.utione.4 ia planse No. 8. viz.: first
cousins, nudes and aunts. Clause V must
mean aud include only those degrees men
tioned after clause 6 and between clause 9,
that is those referred to in clause 8. Nor
does it appear from clause 8 that if uncles
and aunts with their children are living
at the death of an intestate, the
children, who are first cousins, would inherit
per capita with the parent who is the uncle
or aunt; but that a living uncle would take
to the exclusion of his living children. But
however this point might be determined, it
can avail nothing here, as there were at the
death of Mary Telfair neither first cousins,
uncles nor aunts surviving her.
Again, the construction of the concluding
words of clause 5 of the said section as fol
lows : “But there shall be no representation
further than this among collaterals,” implies
such collaterals only as are mentioned in
that ciau-e, and includes those brothers or
sisters of the whole blood, or brothers and
sisters of the half blood on the paternal
side, or if none ot that class th^n those of
half blood on maternal side, and limits their
lineal descendants to grandchildren as
standing in the place of deceased parents.
A first cousin or an uncle or an aunt living
at death of an intestate would take, if there
were no relatives nearer on the collateral
lines than the grandchildren of a deceased
brother or sister. So the law is written, and
so it must be enforced. Yet it is not so
written because a first cousin is nearer in
blood than an aunt oj: uncle, It is not so
written because the nearest iu blood are
always to be the nearest in inheritance.
If the 9th clause of section 2484 intends
the rule of inheritance shall be, in all cases
not specifically provided for by the Code, that
the canons of descent as at common law
shall govern, then it is altogether obvious
that the Wetter children are the sole heirs
at law of Miss Mary Telfair, their great
grand aunt. Kec. 4 Chitty’s, Blaok«tGne*B
Commentaries, marginal page 224, 225, and
•nfcA 26.
The propounders, however, allege that
clause 9 of section 2484 of the Code unmis
takably refere to the degrees of kinship as
enunciated by the canons of the church,
referred to as adopted by the law's of Eng-
j land in 1 Blackstone, marginal page 206. Ia
1 this view I am not prepared to concur. The
whole question here and in section 2,484 is
not one as to who ie most nearly related in
blood, but as to who is the heir-at-law. It
: has already been seen that the law of
: descents aud distributions in this State is
: not exclusively controlled by the nearness
of kindred. Neither propinquity nor oon-
sanquinity govern absolutely in the decision
of wno is the heir; and the gist of the ques
tion is not one of blood, but of legal
designation as to who is an heir. The
framers of the Code, even if they did not
inadvertently put “canon law” for “common
law” or “canons of the law,” could yet have
meant nothing bat to refer to English law,
“as ad--pled and enforced in the English
coarts,” as a m-ans of determining who in
herited an estate, after the special rules laid
down in the Code were exhausted. Ail the
more clear does this appear when Black-
stone himself speaks of the seven rules of
descent mentioned by him as “rules or
canons” of descent. Neither dors it appear
that the canonical rules of kinship, as enun
ciated by the church, were ever adopted and
enforced in the English courts as rules of
inheritance or descent. It was an easy
error for the compilers of the Code to have
spoken of the canons or the common law as
the “canon law.” It would have been an
numuigated blander for them to have re
ferred to the canons of the eh arch as rules
adopted and enforced in the English courts,
and this, too, as a very part of the section
of the Code which affected to es'tabliah “who
are the heirs-at-law of a deceased person.”
On the 4:h of July, 1776, there was no law
iu England, adopted and enforced by the
courts, making the rules of inheritance to
depend upon the degrees of consanguinity
or kindred as set forth by the church
canons. Therefore, no such rule could
have been adopted, aDd it will not be
presumed that the law makers attempted to
adopt a rule which never had any existence.
It was urged in argument that to con
strue clause 9 otherwise than as was con
tended for by the counsel for propounders
would be to take the English rules as stated
by Blackstone with, engrafted upon them,
the law of primo-geuiture and selection of
males over females. It is not conceded that
this at all follows, for the rules must be
adopted only so far as is consistent with the
genius of our fundamental polity. They
go to the extent alone of defining what
class of kinspeople shall inherit. They can
not designate which one of that class shall
receive precedence.
At last the question is, shall the
rules of inheritance in Georgia, beyond cer
tain well defined limits, be governed
by the canons of inheritance, as adopted and
enforced bv the English courts prior to July
4, A. D. 1776, or shall they be governed by
tne rules or canons of the church relating to
kinship,'as set forth in Blackstone’s Com
mentaries, but never adopted and enforced
by the courts of England as rules of inher
itance in that country.
The canonical rales of consanguinity were
uever promulgated by the church, aud never
“adopted and enforced” by the English
courts as laws governing, in the slightest
degree, the inheritance of estates ; but they
were promulgated “principally with a view
to prevent incestuous marriages,” aud only
iu some instances “ adopted aud enforced ”
by the courts as rules showing the degrees
of deecent. Thus far, and no farther, did
the people of England, through their courts,
recognize and adopt the canonical degrees
of consanguinity in tneir canons of descent.
These canon rules were undoubted'v en
forced to their fail extent ia the ecclesiasti
cal courts for the prevention and punish
ment of incestuous marriages ; but did the
Legislature of Georgia, in a law specially
addressed to the rules governing the de
scent of estates, mean to refer to the rules
governing the marital relations ?
Great stress was laid, by counsel for the
movants, upon the act of 231 December,
1789. Cobb’s Digest, pages 291 alii 292, and
Prince’s Digest, pages 233 and 234, and the
notes thereto. It is sufficient to s&y that the
law, as now in the Code, is not precisely as
set forth in the two digests. There, after
the distribution in pursuance of the express
provisions of the statutes, it i9 provided
that the next of kin shall inherit an equal
degree, and their representatives. Clause 8
of sec. 2484 of tho Code of Georgia deter
mines who are next of kin when none of
those mentioned in the foregoing part of
said section are in life at death of intestate.
That is, first cousins, uncles aud aunts ; al
though, according to tne canonical tables of
cousanguinity, the first cousin is not so near
in blood as their father or mother. (1
Blackstone, pages 206 aud 207, and table to
page 203.) Thus the Code, down through
the persons who are mentioned in the first
eight clauees of the said section 2484, does
not adopt the canon rules of consan
guinity as rules of inheritance in Georgia.
Again it is asked, was it meant by clause 9
of said section that the rules of descent in
this State, beyond the degrees already men-
tioutd, should conform to aucj b3 governed
by the canonical rules.of kindred as govern
ing incestuous marriages, and which were
uever taken as the rules of descent iu Eng
land. If so, then the children of Mrs. Wet
ter, who was the grandchild, and stood in
the place of the own brother of teslratrix,
would be postponed to the claims of the
grandchildren of Miss Telfair’s aunt.
The arguments of counsel for movants as
sumed that the note to Prince’s Digest,
page *234, fixes the degree of relation
ship of the Wetter children at seven,
being the great grandchildren of Miss
Telfair’s brother, and fixes the relation
ship of the Jones’ at six, they being children
of first cousins. Even if this somewhat in
volved method of computation were correct,
nnder the law as in Prince’s Digest, yet the
Code has changed that law, especially in
making the grandchildren of brothers and
sisters, as well as their children, “represent
and stand iu the place of their deceased
parents.” (Code, see. 2484, cl. 5.) Thus
moving up the Wetter children one degree,
and placing them on an equal footing, at
least, with the second cousins of testatrix.
It is considered that the true construction
of sectiou 2484 of the Code relegates the
coart, under clause 9 of that section, to the
canons of inheritance, as adopted and en
forced m England, and not to the canons of
consanguinity as administered iu the marital
relations. Or, at any rate, ihat the children
of Wetter stand on an equal footing with
the other caveators in this case.
It is therefore ordered by the court that
the motion be denied.
This 12th June, 1877.
Henry B. Tompkins, Judge.
The motion to dismiss not being granted,
argument was opened, each of the counsel
named speaking, and was not concluded
until Wednesday evening, when the Court
took a recess until 9$ o’clock yesterday
morning. On opening or the court the Judge
delivered the following
CHARGE TO THE JURY
In the matter of the probate of the will of
Mary Telfair. Chatham Superior Court.
You are called upon, gentlemen of the
jury, to pass upon the facts involved in the
above stated. About what has been proven,
or not proven, in this case I can neither ex
press nor intimate an opinion. It is a mat
ter altogether for you to decide, from your
opinion of the evidence produced to you,
and the law as given you in charge by the
court, what has been proven in the cause.
The propounder, Wm. Neyle Habersham,
and William Hunter, who are the executors
of the last will of Miss Mary Telfair, come
into this court and seek to prove the will.
The caveators—that ia, those who forbid and
deny the right of the propounders so to
Drove this wil—come forward aud file ob
jections and ask that the will be declared
invalid and of no effect. The caveators, on
one aide, are the children of Augustus P.
Wetter, by his wife, who was the great grand
niece of the testatrix, Miss Mary Telfair,
through her brother, Thomas Telfair; and,
on the other side, Mr. Jones, Mrs. Harrison
and Mr. Cathbert, who are the second conf
ine of the testatrix on her motuer> aide.
These caveators file several objections on
either side, setting up reasons why the will
should not be proven. This being done, it
thea becomes incumbent upon the execu
tors of Miss Telfair to prove to you every
thing necessary to constitute a good wiil
under the laws of Georgia. That is, it must'
be shown to you by the evidence that the
paper alleged to be‘the will of Mary Telfair
was signed by her freely and voluntarily, in
the presence ofthtee subscribing witnesses,
each of whom signed as witnesses, after
seeing her »igu, and in her presence
and in the presenoe of each other. The
propounders must also show to you by
the evidence that at the time of the
execution of the will, Mi.-s Telfair
was of sound and disposing mind aud mem
ory, and acted, without misrepresentation
on the part of others, knowing what she was
doing and intending so to do. (Here the
court read aections Code 2394 to 2418, ex
cept 2397,2404, 2406, 2410 to 2413, 2415, 2416,
2419. j
The sound aud disposing mind of the tes
tatrix being brought in question by the
caveats, it devolves upon the propounders
to show by evidence, not only that the in
strument purporting to be the vyill of Mary
Telfair was formally e*eouted, by being
signed as already tola you, in the proper way
and before the proper number of witnesses,
but that the testatrix was of sound and dis
posing mind. (The court here read from p.
180 of 52 Ga. Reports, beginning, “The gen
eral rale of law undoubtedly ie, otc., in eighth
line from top, and ending at p. 182, lint
eleventh, with tho word ‘free.’ ”)
To you, gentlemen, I shall leave the ques
tions, which are written out, and you can
find the answers and put them down on the
spaces left in the paper.
First. At the time of the execution of the
will in dispute, by Miss Mary Telfair, on 1st
Judo, 1875, was she of sound and disposing
mind and mefnory, and entirely free from
any kind of insanity?
Second. At the time of the execution of
the paper purporting to be the will of Mary
Telfair, wag she a monomaniac upon any
■ubject, which in any degree affected the
fairness and valiaity of said will ?
Third. If Miss Mary Telfair, at the time
of executing the will, was a monomaniac,
was the will in any wav the result of or con
nected with that monomania?
Fourth. Was the will ol Mary Telfair pro
cured or execated by reason of misrepre
sentations of any kind to the iniury of the
heirs at law ?
Fifth. Do you find in favor of the pro
pounders and executors of the* will, or in
favor of tne caveators ?
Sixth. If you find in favor of the caveators,
do you find in favor of the caveat of A. P.
better, as guardian, etc., of his children; or
in favor of the caveat of Jones ^ud others—
one or both ?
The caveat of A. P. Wetter, among other
grounds, alleges that the testatrix, Mary
Telfair, was of unsound mind. The caveat
of Joues et. al. does not allege this gronDd.
Owing to the view the comt euieriHiri •>(
the numerous law points raised in the
progress of this case, it will not becomo
necessary for the jury to consider any other
m&tterB of fact than those just above ad-
i verted to.
The propounders of the will introduced
j the theo subscribing witnesses, viz: Dr. J.
B. Read, Mr. Wm. J. Marshall and Gen. A.
R. LawtoD. If you should fiud from the tes
timony of these witnesses tb »t »he testatrix
executed the will iu accordance with the
law, when she was of sound and disposing
mind and memory, and without undue mis
representation, tneu the will would be
proven and you should find in favor of the
propounders if this had been all the evidence
m the case. But the caveators have intro
duced a large amount of testimony bv wit
nesses on the stand, by interrogatories in
writing propounded to the other witnesses,
and by various writings and paper and let
ters. It is your province to consider all the
testimony so introduced on both sides in
determining the questions which are left to
your decision.
Among the testimony offered by the
caveators a paper was admitted which pur
ported to be a copy of a letter, or an extract
therefrom, which was written :o the testa
trix and her sister, Mrs. HodgsoD, by the
mother of the children of A. P. Wetter, who
was the grand niece of testatrix. I» cannot
be even assumed by you that this letter, if
written and sent to Miss Telfair and -Mrs.
Hodgson, ever reached its destination, and
it is not admitted to jonr consideration to
show or imply that Miss Telfair received it.
Bat it is admitted solely to aid you iu ar
riving at the state of feeling entertained by
Mrs. Wwtter toward Mias Telfair at the time
the letter is stated to have beeu written.
In the opinion of the court the will is
perfectly valid and legal in all its provisions,
and is a will that, in law, can be and ought
to be proved and carried into effect, pro
vided the testatrix was of sound and dis
posing mind and memory, and was not acting
under misrepresentations or mistake of
facts. If Miss Telfair, at the time of exe
cuting the will in question, was capable of
makiDg this will, and dul so without misre
presentation, then the will is good and
should be sustained. It is alone for you to
say if, under all the evidence, the pro
pounders have failed to show that the will
is valid and binding.
Exactly where perfect sanity ceases and
insanity or monomania commences may be
a question moat difficult to determine. The
presumption is that ail people are sane, aud
it is for you to look to all the evidence to
determine if the testatrix was not fully in
her right mind wheu she executed the will;
although as I have already charged you, the
will being caveated it is devolved upon the
propounders to show everything that goes
to make a good and legal will.
In this state a person who owns property
has a perfect right to dispose of that prop
erty just as they see proper, do matter
whether they gained it by their own exer
tions or inherited it from others, provided
they make the will freely withoat misrepre
sentation, and when they are of Bound and
disposing mind and memory.

THE END NOT YET.
The general impression was that there
would be a mistrial, and the announcement
of agreement took many by surprise. The
