1Opinion of the CourtField, J.
Upon a petition for the allowance of an alleged will and a codicil thereto, both dated January 26, 1928, of Charlotte Sutton, late of Boston, who died August 29, 1928, a motion was made in the Probate Court by the contestants — nephews, next of kin and heirs at law of the deceased — to frame a jury issue as to her testamentary capacity. The motion was denied and the contestants appealed. The decision of the judge of probate was made upon statements of counsel as to the evidence which they expected to be able to offer, and upon the testimony of several physicians.
