trial for week past before Judge Barrett tho SUI
preme Court and involving the validity OF The VIII of
Abraham Wood. the facts OF which have already ap-
pcared In the HERALD verdict was rendered by the
jury yesterday. Tho jury found that the paper
porting to be tho last will and testament OF Abraham
Wood dated August j. 1866, was his last will and tes
lament executed according tho laws of the State OF
New York; that at the time he executed 1t he was
mentally mpetent to do IL and TO dispose of the
estate devised thereby; tina. such will was not pro-
cured through undue influence, imposition or fraud ;
that the codicl TO such viii, bearing date December

10 tho laws OF the state, and that AT tho time
