November Superior Court of
Law and Equity, 1784.
IN pursuance of the rule obtained on the motion
of Mi. Johnson, on the affidavit of Mary Dra
per, suggesting undue practices in procuring the
execution of the will of Dr. William Savage, de
ceased, in his last illness, wherein it is ordered,
that the probate of a paper purporting to be the
last will and testament of Dr. William Savage, de
ceased, obtained at the last Term on the oath of
Captain CoAmo Medici, be revoked, unless Ed
ward Rice and John Cooper, the Executors named
in the said will, shew fufficient cause to the con
trary, on Monday next, on which day the said
Edward Rice and John Cooper appeared, and the
Court having fully heard and understood the alle
gations and proofs, as well on the part and behalf
of the said Edward Rice and John Cooper, as on
the nart and behalf of Samuel Dickinson, Walter
Jones, and William Flood, at whole instance the
Rule was obtained, and their council on both sides
being fully heard by the Court, are unanimously of
opinion, that though it does not appear to the Court
that any fraud or intended imposition was pra&ifed
in obtaining the said paper purporting to be a will,
yet it fully appears from the evidence and the
whole circumstances laid before the Court, that the
said Savage, at the time of making and executing
the said paper, purporting to be a will and testa
ment as aforefaid, from the low Rate of his mind
at that time, was incapable of making a last will
and testament, the Court here do therefore order,
adjudge, and decree, that the probate of the said
will be revoked, annulled, and set aside, and the
said paper purporting to be a will as aforefaid, is
tonfidered and declared to be null, void, and of no
tfelt.
