II., which required all wills of land to be signed. In that case, as in this, the will commenced, "I, .lohn Stanley, make," etc. After iliat decision the law was re- garded as settled in England; and the case of Lemayne v. Stanley has not only since been followed in that country, but also in our sister states which have, by legislative enactment, adopted the statute of Car. II. The rule was so effectually es- tablished that courts of justice, though repeatedly solicited, could not be induced to... break in upon it. In England they have found that a statute was necessary to change the law in this particular; and in the reign of the present queen one has been passed requiring a will to be signed at its foot. The same ha's been done by some of our neighboring states. It was said in England, and the same has been said in the argument of this cause, that the case of Lemayne v. Stanley was an evasion of the statute, and opened a door for the perpetration of frauds, and was so nonsensical that it ought not to be fol- lowed.
