of December. 1868, he left home, and went to Great Grimsby,
to attend a meeting of the inoome tat commiuloners, by
whom he was appointed a collector for the township in which
he lived. He afterwards went to various public-houses is
Halton and the neighbourhood, and he was known to have
got exceedingly drunk. Since that day be bad never been
heard of, noterlthatendbig that great exertion. had been
made to discover him or his body
Dr. Deane, 14.0., now moved that administration should
be granted to the brothers of the presumed deceased.
Sir C. Creeswell decreed administration to the parties on
their givbsgjestifylng acuity.

This wee a tilt to determine the validity of a will executed
on the 26th of October, 1866, by the late Mr. Joseph Hind-
mush. The Instrument was propounded by the defendant,
who was the nephew and residuary legatee of the testator;
and it was opposed by Mr. Charlton, the next of kin, on the
ground that an attesting witness had not signed the docu-
ment in the presence of the deceased. Mr. Justice Bytes,
who tried the teens at Dastard Altill6, directed the jury to
bud for the defendant, with leave to move the court to eat
aside the verdict and enter it for the plalatiff. The point la-
stated or in support of the will was the feat that the whales
in question had re-touched his signature with a pea in the
presence of the deceased, one the letters of his name having
bean imperfectly formed.

Dr. ®puke now addressed the coact in support or in opposi-
tion to the vodka, but
Sir C. Croswell reserved his Judgment.
