prove her husbands will, and Judge Purcell
proceeded to examine the witnesses thereto,
when one Of them said that the man vas not
dead. The Judge looked very Indignantly at
the woman. but could not suppress a smile,
and asked her why she had brought such
paper into Court, and stated that the paper
was no will at all, giving her hint to be off.

that she could have the will proved before the
death of the testator, and that she was afraid
her husband might get mad and change it be-
