1Opinion of the CourtLathrop, J.
This is an appeal from a decree of the Probate Court, admitting to probate two instruments purporting to be the will and codicil of Sarah A. Bacon. The usual issues were framed by a single justice of this court, and were sent to the Superior Court for trial. The case was there tried, and the jury answered the issues so as to sustain both the will and codicil; and the case is now before us on the appellant’s exceptions to the refusal of the judge presiding at the trial in the Superior Court to give three rulings requested.
The testatrix died in April, 1900, and was then eighty-three years old.…
