Harris, deceased, which they allege was destroyed by some of the appellants and heirs-at-law of the said Harris, to the prejudice of the petitioners, who were legatees under the will. The cause was heard in the Probate Court, and a decree rendered establishing the will as a bequest of personal estate, and admitting the same to probate as such.
