A will can. of some interest, which occupied the
Dublin Court of Probate several days, was concluded on
Tsenday. The ileclaratiou of the plaintiff propounded •
will of the late Tilll.,thy O'Connor, of the Causeway, county
of Kerry, dated the lst of May, 1847, and the defendant
denied the validity of thin iestruinent. He alleged that the
list will of the di eeseed was one dated the 95th of May,
1842, and that he (,leceroe.l) executed a codicil on the 19th
of May. 1850. To this defence a replication was fled, to the
effect that the will of 1842 was revoked by that of 1839,
and that the codicil of 1859 was invalid in consequence of
not having been executed pursuant to the statute, and
that it was ohtained by undue influence. The undue
isfluenee was ascribed to the teetatoes wife and
two priests, ass of whom lived in the house
of the deceased for two years, up to the time of his death.
The codicil in question gave his wife absolutely 8001. out of
3,140411. in the bank, and all the motley in the house, to do
what she pleased with. It happened that there was in the
house a sum of over 1,100/., awl more than 2,000 f. came
' into the old woman's hands under the residuary clause after
her brishand's death. She sutviveil him only five weeks,
but in the meantime she disposed of the mossy is gifts
, and donations to pious persons and charitable uses—priests
, and sons being the chief recipients. The instrument wu
impeached on the `round of undue influence and want of
testamentary capacity. It was revoked by the jury, whose
verdict was in favour of the plaintiff, a nephew of the
' deceased.
