Sampson ct al, Executors or John H. Baldrin,
"a. Cecilia r. Eood.-Ts case came up yesterday for
trial. The facts have been so frequently published
that it is unnecessary to give them In detail. The
defendant, 1t will be remembered lived with John
Il Baldwin, and, on his decease, claimed to be his
widow, and, at the same time, set up claim on
note made by him to her In the name OF Wood.
After his death letter found directed to his ex-
ecutors telling them not pay her anything from his
estate II they conid help it, The drectors however,
had no easy matter In settling with her, but gave
her quite sum Of money and allowed her TO retain
the furniture Of the house, but before doing THIS
got release from her OF all further right In the
estate through right OF dover or Otherwise Subsc-
Quenty she renewed her claims 81 10 being the
widow, and set up that the release papers sne signed
were signed while under the influence Of opium ana
without her free will aud knowledge and under the
strong cntreates Of her counsel, whom she supposed
TO be her friend but afterwards discovered as she
alleged, to be in completely with the plaintiffs. The
suit brought by the plaintiffs TO enjoin her from
making further claims on the estate has been re-
peatedly before the courts. The main issues were
whether she was the wife OF the deceased and
whether she did not know the purport OF the release
papers when she signed them. She failed TO appear
yesterday when the case was called. The plaintiffs
proved the issues and their action on taem and the
Jury found accordingly on each OF the issues The
case wiz now go to the General Term.
