LAW INTELLIGENCE.
(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary)

CROSS C. CROSS AND CROSS.

Sir C. Cromwell gave judgment on a motion which bad
been made to revoke the probate panted of • will. He
said that the probate in question had been granted in 1840,
and that the applicant had at that time been told
that the will was forged. He was named as executor,
and though he did not join in taking out the pro-
bate, he had acquiesced in it for twenty years. Under
such circumstance the court would certainly not revoke
the probate on a mere motion ; and if Mr. P. Cross thought
fit to pursue the matter in a more solemn way, he (Sir C.
Cresswell) would recommend him to consider int, bow tar
he had himself acted in uttering the will
Motion rejected.
