The testator had become infirm and unable to sign his name. He had made a stamp which reproduced his signature. He used it to execute his will. The will was challenged.
Held: The will had been validly executed. The requirement of the Act could be fulfilled by somebody else executing a document on the direction of the testator, and therefore was equally fulfilled in this case.
