Pee Curiam.

We concur in the opinion expressed by the ordinary that the respondent Axtell fairly sustained the burden of showing that the will was not the product of undue influence, but of the full and independent judgment of the testatrix, and, for this reason, affirm the decree under review.

For affirmance—Ti-ie Chief-Justice, Garrison, Swayze, Reed, Tbenchard, Parker, Bergen, Voori-iees, Minturn, Bogert, Vredenburgh, Vroom, Gray, Congdon—14.

For reversal—Fone.
