Kelley v. Kelley

25 Pa. 460 | Pa. | 1855

The opinion of the Court was delivered by

Woodward, J.

The will under which the plaintiff claims contains all the unimportant phrases of the form book, without a single intelligible devise or bequest. Such a will is insensible and void. It is incapable of being interpreted or executed. The parol evidence that was offered, and properly rejected, might have made a will for the testator, but could have given no vitality to this senseless and shapeless instrument.

The judgment is affirmed.
