62 Ga. 697 | Ga. | 1879
The evidence in the record conducts, partly by direct statement, and partly by reasonable inference, to the follow
We have seen the result of following out the testimony of Jones that there was an express gift to his wife. A like result will ensue if we disregard that testimony, and confine our view to an implied or presumptive gift, as shadowed forth by the relationship of the parties, the circumstances under which the possession and use commenced, and the long period during which they continued. In either event the will ought, in this litigation, to be regarded as confirmatory of the gift.
Judgment affirmed.
