A Bill of L.40 sterling being legated, the testator thereafter obtained payment, but some days thereafter, as was said, put the money in his landlady's hands to be applied as
directed by the former legacy, at least so swore her own son being one of the legatars. We generally agreed to vary the interlocutor sustaining the legacy, but the President moved the examining some more witnesses. Several of us thought a proof by witnesses not a habile proof to re-establish the legacy, and upon the question found there should no witnesses be examined.
