A Contract, Not a Testament.

Judge Over, of the Orphans Court, yester-
day handed down an opinion in the matter
of the claim of the executors of the late
William Clark against the estate of Eliza
beth Holt. The claim was based on a docu-
ment signed by Mrs. Holt directing her ex-
ecutors to pay g, 900 to the executors of
William Clark for money advanced her and
other considerations. Mrs. Hollis estate
itors objected to the claim. They alleged
that there was no consideration for the
money, and that the paper was testament
airy. Judge Over, in his opinion, decided
that the paper was not testamentary, and
that the testimony showed that there had
been consideration given. He therefore
sustained the claim.
