 Hsrrison's appeal from Probate. new trial advised; reasons by Judge Loomis. This was suit brought by Edward F. Har- rison against the estate of his father, the late Edward Harrison of this city. Edward Har- rison in his will left his entire estate to his second wife, her children and one Ann Naughton, who had been his housekeeper for number of years ignoring the plaintiff entirely in his will, who was the son of his first wife. The will was admitted to probate in March, 1878, and that court sustained the will, from which an appeal was taken. The action came to the January term of the Super for Court 1878, by appeal, and after full hearing, the case was committed to the jury who returned 8 verdict that the instrument propounded as the last will and testament of Edward Harri- son was not the last will and testament of the said Harrison, and they therefore found issue for the appellant. The order and decree of the Probate Court was therefore annul1ed and set aside, and an order issued that the appellant recover his costs. Thereupon the appellees moved for new trial with a stay of execution and with the result above given Superior COurt-Civi1 Side-Judge Sam
