Error to Kalamazoo. (Mills, J.) Appeal from probate of will. Proponent brings error.

1Opinion of the CourtCooley, J.

The writ of error in this case brings before us the proceedings on the probate of the will of William H. Pice, late of the county of Kalamazoo, who died December 3, 1880. Plaintiff in error is his widow and was named sole executrix in the will. Defendants are his heirs at law. The will was admitted to probate in the probate court, but denied it in the circuit court. Two objections were made to it in the pleadings: First, that Pice was insane when he executed it; and second, that it was obtained from him by undue influence. This second objection was abandoned on the trial.
