" any human being had been grty al the 14115
" impropriety of conduct towilksibe testator, WO
" it wont,' therefore be unjust and preposterous to
" doubt the validity of the will." Accordingly,
Sir J LIMB WILDE pronounced in its favour.
But the misfortune of Mr. Sias did not stop
here. He and hiswife not only missed 5,0001., but
they will have to pay the costs of the snit which
has just been determined. Sir Jxstns WILDE is oi
opinion that Mr. &a; in disputing his brother-
in-law's will, had no desire to possess himself of
bis property, but was actuated by nothing more
than " a sincere desire for the welfare of the
" deceased." But the sincerest desire for a testa-
tor's welfare cannot be indulged in at the expense
of his estate. Before the validity of a will is dis-
puted there ought to be some reasonable grounds
of doubt. And as this element in the case was
wanting, the Judge felt himself compelled to call
upon Mr. SmEE to pay the costs.
