Supreme Court of Pennsylvania March 2, 1863 (Sims's Appeal)

The opinion of the court was delivered, by

Thompson, J.

“ The means, at law and in equity,” says Mr. Ram on Wills 31, “to collect the testator’s intention, are the words of the will, free of conjecture.” Much that has been advanced here, in support of the appellant’s case, is rather of a conjectural character, and we have little to aid us save the words employed in the devise itself.
