Opinion

Per Curiam:

It does not follow that because a man is a drunkard he cannot make a will. This testator, for anything that appears, was entirely sober when he made his will, and possessed testamentary capacity. Nor is there sufficient evidence to submit to a jury that his will was the result of undue influence. The court below was right in refusing an issue.

Decree affirmed, and appeal dismissed at the costs of the appellant.
