SURR0GATr'S COURT.
The Roilwagen Will ca &c


The hearing on the contested will case Of the
wealthy German, Mr.. Rollwagen, deceased was
resumed yesterday. Evidence on the part OF the
sons of the deceased (the contestants) was con.
tinued and number Of witnesses sworn. The
story told BY the witnesses was a mere repetition
of the previous testimony taken at great length on
the one point-the very enleebled and aimest par
alytic condition of the deceased, physically and
mentally and the inference sought to be estab-
lished therefrom, the utter lncapacity Of Mr. Roll
wagon Tor years before his death and at the time
OF the execution OF the Will to make such an
instrument as would be valid in the eyes
OF the law. This Is the principal QrSyind
taken by counsel for the contestants, and
besides the one naturally arising therefrom that
when he made the VIII in dispute he was unduly
Influenced by Mrs. ROllwagen the principal legatee
In the Will, whose right to her claim OF vile or
widow the contestants also dispute. The case
bids fair to have a long run in the Surrogate's
Court.
The Scott VIII Case.
The case in which contest is being waged be.
tween, as claimed, but disputed, the widow of
James Scott, formerly a wealthy Fulton street
clothier, and the heirs OF another woman said to
have been married TO Scott for the possession OF
the estate OF the deceased, came on for continued
hearing in the Surrogate's Court yesterday. The
testimony was concluded and the case will be sum.
