Joseph A. Cox, S.

In this proceeding to settle the account of the executor a construction has been requested to determine (1) whether the holographic instrument dated October 26, 1953 admitted to probate by decree of this court on the 5th day of December, 1953 as a codicil to the last will and testament of the deceased, is in fact a codicil merely revolting certain charitable bequests made in the will of March 6, 1952 or does the said instrument revoke the whole of said will dated March 6, 1952? (2) Whether the bequest contained in the codicil to Haias is a bequest of $1 or a bequest of $100?…
