Fleming v. . Fleming , 63 N.C. 209 ( 1869 )

  • Reade, J.

    The paper-writing propounded, was executed with all the formalities which the law requires. The paper-writing offered in evidence by the caveator, of a subsequent date, executed with like formalities, did not in terms revoke the paper-writing propounded, and the disposition of the testator’s property is substantially the same in both.

    His Honor properly left it with the jury to say whether it was the intention of the testator that the paper propounded should be his will, and the jury found that fact in favor of the-paper propounded.

    It was, therefore, properly admitted to probate. Whether the second paper might not have been admitted to probate also, along with the first, if it had been propounded, cannot be determined by us, nor is it important, for both papers are substantially the same.

    This will be certified, &c.

    Pee Cueiam. There is no error.
