A decree then issued calling on all parties interested to shew cause why probate of the instructions for the first will should not be granted; and the Court, on proof per testes that the instructions were of the same effect is the first will, that that will was executed wheri the deceased was sane, but destroyed and the other wills executed when insane, pronounced for the instructions, and refused coats out of the estate to persons in distribution who by interrogatories set up insanity when the first will waa executed.
