Prince v. Hazleton, 20 J. R. 502.
    
      Nuncupative Will.
    
   The Court of Errors held in this case, reversing the decisions of the Surrogate and of the Court of Probates, that a nuncupative will is not good unless it be made when the testator is in extremis, or overtaken by sudden and violent sickness and has not time to make a will. And that the words, “last sickness” within the provision of the statute, (Sess. 36, ch. 31, § 14,) is to be understood last extremity.
