TRENTON, July l9, 19Ol.-The will of
Prerogative Court before Chancellor Ma
gle yesterday. and, no opposition appear
ing, the proceedings were of purely for
NAL character. The will was afterwards
filed with the Secretary of State, as clerk
of the court, and it can now be contested
only by having the case reopened, pro-
ceeding by no means rare, although not
common in cases where heirs or relatives
have been duly notified of the application
for probate.
The executors are Pierre Lorillard, Jr..
George Findley of Morristown, and Jas.
F. Fielder of Jersey City, who were pres
ent at the filing of the will.
A possible explanation of the reason no
caveat was made is found in the sixteenth
section of the will, in which Mr. Lorillard
takes especial pains to prevent litigation
by providing that
In case any one of my said
children shall dispute this will
or any codicil that may be
added thereto, or take legal measures to
prevent said will or any such codicil be-
ing proved or having full effect then, and
in that case, the interest or income of my
estate provided in the eleventh clause of
this will to be paid to such child or cnii-
dren of mine (who. shall dispute this will
or any codicil thereto or take legal meas
ures as foresai0) shall for the cumulative
term of ten years be paid to St: Mary $
Church Of Tuxedo, by whatever name the
for re h
solute property.
The will was presented to the court by
William Brinkerhoff who submitted
proof that no caveats had been filed
either by the Prerogative Court or in the
Burlington County Orphans Court. The
Will was proved by the witnesses who
signed it, and was dated July %, 1900. The
three witnesses were William Brinker-
