Williams et al. v. Way.
    
    September 21, 1910.
    Probate of will. Before Judge Mitchell. Thomas superior court. June 26, 1909.
    
      Fondren Mitchell and Branch & Snow, for plaintiffs in error,.
    
      S. A. Boddenbery and Boscoe Luke, contra.
   Atkinson, J.

1. If a subscribing witness to a will is also a legatee or devisee under the will, the witness is competent, though the legacy or devise to him shall be void. Civil Code, § 3275. It is not a sufficient objection to the probate of a will in which devises to other persons are made that all of the subscribing witnesses are legatees under the will.

2. There were no requests to charge. The portions- of the charge complained of were not erroneous; nor was it error, to omit to charge, as complained. The evidence was sufficient to support the verdict, and there was no error in refusing a new trial.

Judgment afp/rmed.

All the Justices concur.
