Hoyle v. . Whitener

Opinion of the Court

Read, J.

The question is, whether the land in dispute is given in the will to the defendant Michael Whitiner. The *253 difficulty in construing the will grows out of the fact, that it is not punctuated and is ungrammatical. Reading the will so as to make it consistent and sensible, we are of the opinion that the land in disputéis given to the defendant Michael Whitener.

There is no error.

Per Cübiam. Judgment affirmed.
