SUaROGATE'S COURT.
The Bonard Will Cnse-Final Argument
OF Counsel.

The BOn0rO Will CnSe-F1n0l Argument
or Counsel.
Before Surrogate Robert c. Hutchings
The closing arguments in this now celebrated win
case were delivered yesterday by Judge Porter and
Mr.. Gerry. Judge Porter commenced by combat
ing the point of Mr. Gerry that the legatees under
the first will had no standing in court to contest
the second. He then said that the first thing for
the Court to do In determining whether a will Is
valid or void was to read the will to see what the
testatOr meant and then to whether the ex-
pressed intention is In harmony with or In contra
venOn OF the principles OF law The intention of this
testator was the humane one OF relieving animals
suffering; but If the gift had been Illegally made
the will must fall. 1t was conceded that the will
void as to the realty, and he argued that the
will directed the personally to be turned into real
estate it was void as to that also. The will was
half dead conlessedly, the bulk OF the testators
property being in real estate, so that as to That IL
was an abortion and could not stand, and the only
question remaining was. whether the requests OF
this point the counsel cited large number OF
authorities both from American and English
cases, and then said that while the law

law the law steps in to prevent. Within the limits
of the law every man might make will; beyond
those limits no man could make q will. Bonard's
intentions were good and Kind and humane, but
they tailed because he did not understand the law.
At the close OF the argument, which occupied
nearly two hours in its delivery, Mr. Gerry replied
The case was then submitted, Surrogate Hutchings
