Mr. Justice GRIER
dissenting.
I wholly dissent from the opinion of the majority of the court in this case, both as to the law and.the. facts. But I do not think it necessary to vindicate my opinion by again presenting to the public view a history of the scandalous gossip which has beén buried under the dust of half a century, and which a proper feeling of delicacy should have suffered to remain so; I therefore dismiss the case,- as I hope, for'the last time, with the single remark, that if it be the law of Louisiana that a will can be established by the dim recollections, imaginations, or inventions of anile gossips, after forty-five years, to disturb the titles and possessions of bona fide purchasers, without notice, of an apparently indefeasible lega' title, flaud equixlem invideo, miror magis.”
