In the Matter of the Estate of Elias W. Cady, Deceased. (Argued October 26, 1886; decided November 23, 1886.) The following is the mem. of opinion herein: “ We have carefully read and considered the evidence in this case and find it to be abundant to sustain the findings of the surrogate; and those findings conclude us. We agree in the main with the opinions pronounced by the surrogate and at the General Term, and it would be a waste of labor to travel over the same grounds in the exposition of the law applicable to the facts of this case in them so fully and ably set forth. “ The judgment should be affirmed, with costs against the appellant.” George E Goodrich and H. V. Howland for appellant. S. D. Halliday for respondents. [MAJORITY — Earl, J.,] Earl, J., reads mem. for affirmance. All concur. Judgment affirmed.
