born in wedlock, and no other maintenance pro-
vided for it

Extended to illegitimate children and grand-chil-

In which case it will carry interest from the time

of testator's death

But not so of a nephew

If a legacy be payable at a certain age, as twenty-
one, and the legatee before, his representatives
will not be entitled to receive the same, until
the time when the legatee would have been en-
titled to receive it; but they will then, if it be
made to carry interest, be entitled to the ac-
cumulations

The interest in respect of legacies, unless other-
wise directed by the testator, is only £4 per cent.

In a will of lands, there is no necessity to appoint
executors, nor is there any necessity to take pro-

only extends to personalty

Revocation of a will, how to be made

It is always revocable, whether executed sui juris,
or under a power

The signature of the will need not be in the pre-
sence of the witnesses

It is sufficient if he admit his signature to them
It is not absolutely necessary that the witnesses
should be in the presence of each other at
the time of attestation

If the witnesses cannot write their names, their
marks will be sufficient

By the stat. 29 Car. II. c. 3. s. 5, 6. there must
be three witnesses to a will of lands
The witnesses must be of credibility, and com-
petent to decide on the sanity of the testator
The witnesses must not have been convicted of ar
infamous crime

If no form has been prescribed, then the directions
of the statute must be followed, if it be of lands
If it be a bequest of money in the funds, the at-
testation must be by two or more witnesses by
33 Geo. III. c. 28. s. 14. & 35. and ib. c. 14. s. 16. ib.
If it be a will of other personal estate only, no at-
testation of witnesses is necessary, as upon proof
of the hand-writing, it may be proved as a testa-
mentary paper

Nor is it necessary as to copyholds, and the reason
The will must be actually signed by the testator,
and not merely sealed

But if he cannot write, his placing his mark will be
sufficient

ib.

Such lands only will pass as the testator had at the
time of the execution of his will, even though
the words of the will comprehend "all those of
which he may die seised"

In respect of all after purchased lands, the will
must therefore be republished

But it is otherwise in respect of leaseholds or
other chattels

Also, if the testator be tenant in common, or the
like, and after his will make partition, and he
take his moiety for any other estate than he
had before, such as to such persous as he shall or
may appoint, it will not pass by the previous de-

vise of it

As to what will amount to a revocation of a
