Sivu 577 - except the said testimony, or the substance thereof, were committed to writing within six days after the making of the said will.
Sivu 133 - a capital, in contradistinction to a non-capital, one. " In Sir H. Vane's case," (continues Buller) " who was indicted for high-treason," (it was along with the regicides concerned in the murder of Charles I.) " the court refused to sign a bill of exceptions.''
