1Opinion of the Court
The Surrogate.
This decedent died in May, 1880, leaving a widow and several children. In the same month, an instrument purporting to be his will was propounded in this court. Three of his surviving children filed objections thereto, and, in December, 1881, the issues thus raised were decided by my predecessor in favor of the proponents. An appeal was taken, and proceedings thereon were pending in the Supreme Court when this petition was filed, and when, after argument, it was submitted for my determination. The decree, by which the will was admitted to probate, has been since reversed.
