Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court July 3, 1877 (Bigelow v. Gillott)

Morton, J.

The presiding justice who heard this case has found as facts, that the testator erased the sixth and thirteenth clauses of his will after its execution, and that such erasures were made with the intention of revoking the said clauses, but with no intention of revoking or defeating the other provisions of the will. These findings were clearly justified by the evidence.
