Dr.  Smith  then  states  the  execution  and  the  attestation  ;  and  he  adds,  "  That  the
deceased  said  when  he  had  done.  Now  I  am  easy  and  satisfied."

Mr.  Latter  gives  the  same  account ;  he  confirms  Mr.  Wells's  application  to  him,
his  recommending  the  deceased  to  make  a  copy  of  the  codicil,  and  also  his  making  an
appointment  for  the  execution,  his  afterwards  attending  the  deceased,  shaking  hands
with  him,  and  a  little  common  conversation  when  Mrs.  Jukes  left  the  room ;  and  that
the  deceased  then  began  by  saying,  "  The  reason  for  my  sending  for  you,  gentlemen,
is  to  witness  an  alteration  I  wish  to  make  in  my  will."  Some  papers  were  then  lying
on  the  table — he  said,  "  I  have  written  this  from  a  copy  which  a  lawyer  in  London
wrote  for  me  to  sign."  I  have  already  noticed  that  if  the  witness  is  accurate  as  to
this  expression  of  the  deceased,  the  deceased  might  not  know  it  was  drawn  at  Arundel,
for  it  is  subsequent  to  this  time  that  Mr.  Wells  is  apprised  of  that  fact.  "  Dr.  Smith
then  asked  him  what  was  the  main  point  of  [568]  the  intended  alteration  1  the
deceased,  holding  one  of  the  papers,  being  one  part  of  the  intended  codicil,  in  his
hand,  said,  pointing  to  some  lines  in  it,  I  wish  to  exclude  these  persons  from  my  will :
the  deponent  asked  what  persons ;  he  said,  Paul  Malin  and  Benjamin  Harrison  ;  Dr.
Smith  asked,  in  that  case  who  do  you  wish  to  be  your  heir  t  he  answered  the  Kev.
