THE GARDINER WILL CASE.

The protracted family litigation which has
been before the Circuit Court OF Richmond
which has been intrusted by the Htigants on
either side to eminent counsel, was yesterday
so far concluded as to be submitted to the jury
before whom IL was tried,
The opening address to the jury was made by
Mr.. James T. Brady, who, having reviewed the
testimony at great length, and dwelt on all the
points favorable to his client, Mr.. David Gardi-
ner, the contestant of the will of his mother,
made in favor of his sister and testatrix's
daughter, Julia Tyler, the relict OF President
Tyler deceased. Counsel submitted that the
questions TO be decided by the jury were-
Was Juliana Gardiner, when executing the
instrument purporting to be her last will and
testament, of sound and disposing mind and un-
derstanding? had she, in the opinion of the jury
from all the facts presented to them, the capa-
city which the law required to enable her to
make awill? was she under no restraint, and
was the instrument duly executed, with ali the
formalites prescribed by the statute and was
she capable of making said will with sense and
judgment, with regard TO the amount appro-
priated, and with due regard to the relative
claims of the different parties who were the OBJ
iects OF her bounty? The Jury must also be
satisfied that in the act of executing the will she
had intelligence enough to understand clearly
each and every of its provisions, and to know
when she should assent or dissent, and had
strength of will to qualify any statement which
she might not approve, If the jury found that
Mrs Gardiner did not possess all these qualities
at the time OF making the instrument they
would find for the plaintiff the burden of the
proof rs to these facts being with defendants.
Mr.. Evarts followed on behalf of the will,
contending that the will had been duly exc
cuted IN every respect and with the full know
ledge and understanding OF the testatrlX of the
distribution she was making of her property
Judge Lott charged the jury submitting 10
their consideration the main questions in the
case, as propounded by counsel. They must be
satisfied first that the testatrlx was of sound
and disposing memory and competent TO devise
at the lime She made her will; that she was
under no restraint undue influence;
that the instrument was duly executed, with all
the forms required by the law, and was she
capable of making said Will with sense and
Judgment in reference to the amount of hel
property, and the relative claims of the different
parties the recipients of her bounty. and theil
comparative condition; and that at the time o
it's execution she had intelligence enough tC
clearly understand all its provisions and thu
manner of it's disposition. The Judge ther
reviewed the testimony, commenting on sucf
parts most clearly affected the points at issue
After lengthy charge the jury retired but haC
not closed their deliberations at a late hour las
nightly. y Herald.
