tIR. MILLERs WILL A we'll informed law
yer remarked 10 us yesterday, that litigation
was already in process of incubation, IN regard
10 the will OF the late Samuel Miller, which
would outlast the youngest member Of the
present generation. Every provision OF the
will will be fought by some adverse interest,
and the impression popularly obtains that It
will finally be broken utterly and not one dollar
II it be applied as originally designed by the
testator.
OF course their opinion has no reference to
the court in which the will has been recently
offered for probat 1t will no doubt r. brought
ultimately before the highest judicial authority
of the land and in equal likelihood, new
generation OF judges, lawyers, and lltlgants,
will alone take part in that ultimate disposl-
