1Opinion of the CourtSpencer, J.
Appellees instituted this action to set aside the will and ten codicils of Madison Brooks, deceased. The cause was submitted to a jury on the issue of the testator’s mental capacity when he executed the several instruments in question, and resulted in a verdict for appellants as to the original will and for appellees as to each of the codicils mentioned in the complaint. Appellants’ motion for a new trial was overruled and such ruling is challenged by the first assignment of error.
