Objections: That nothing is convey
ed to the supposed universal legatee;
that the will is contrary to the laws of
this State, containing Il substitution
and fdei c0nunissu clause contrary to
law; that plaintiffs are the sole forced
heirs of David Hasley, and that said
document, so pretended to be probated
ON the 18th OF january, 1878, attempts
to deprive them of their legitimate por-
ton secured to them by lazy and that
said pretended will is void for want of
meaning, and that the probate thereof
is null and Void.'
The grounds upon which the will is
attacked arc inconsistent. There is no
substitution nor q .faei coa,missa.
The words of Il will, like those ola
law, care generally TO be understood
in their most usual signiiication.'
"The will of David Hnsley has all
the formalities of an Geographic tesla
