An Interesting Case.

COLUMBUS. OHIO. November lS.-A law
suit with q history and involving a large
amount of property was filed in the Supreme
Court to-day. It was once in the Probate
Court of Jefferson county, West Virginia,
and was passed upon by VIM. L. Wilson, to
whom it was submitted as referee. 1t
comes 10 this court on error from the courts
of Clarke county, where some Of the liti-
giants live. The style is Jonathan @. Palm
er ct al, VS.. Levi Porter ct al. Colin q.
Porter left his estate by will to a niece who,
unknown to bin, was dead at the time the
will was executed. The question is whether
in this case the children of this niece could
inherit the property Mr.. Wilson held that
thew could not, and the property in accord
ance with this opinion has been distributed
among the heirs Of the testator as though
there was no will.
