PREROGATIVE COURT, Fn. ii.
DEW V. CLARK&
It will be in the recollection of our readers, that this
suit was instituted by Mrs. Dew, to set aside her father's
will, the late Dr. Stott, on the ground of insanity.
Dr. PICKARD who was on the same side with Dr.
Luantsorow, was this day heard in support of the
validity of the will. The Learned Dr. went nearly over
the same ground as his Learned Friend, and concluded
by submitting to the Court that the will ought not to
be disturbed.

Dr: haunts was part beard in reply to the arguments of Dr.
Losidagtos on the last silting of the Court.
This ease stands over to the next day of Swaim.

clergymen, but they must snake haste. Witness Was
to go with them to see them sign the paper. He knew
the female by the name of Rigaud, but the other priso-
ner told him 4, that her name was Eliza Foster, and
