Court
The caveat against the will of WilliaE
c. Myers, deceased, of Burlington, wa
dismissed on Tuesday, and the will wa
admitted to probate.
Major F. G. Woolman, counsel for ia
proponents, then urged that the cost
should be paid in part by Mrs. William
Atkinson, one of the caveators, as it hat
not been shown that she was not entitled
to any distributive share in the estate il
the event of the will having been declared
imperative, as it was alleged she was no
one of the heirs at law.
Evidence was then taken on the poin
of Mrs. Atkinson's parentage, and it wai
shown to the satisfaction of the court thai
the lady is a legal descendant of Mr.
Myers, so the estate was compelled to pay
all COSTS
