Supreme Court of Pennsylvania July 1, 1856 (Hoshauer v. Hoshauer)

The opinion of the court was delivered by

Lowrie, J.

This will was sufficiently proved to go to the jury; but it appeared afterwards that the testator could not understand English, and therefore it is objected that, as the witnesses did not hear it read to him, there is no sufficient evidence that he knew its contents. Yet we must presume that he did.
