Abstract
In the leading case of Lemayne v. Stanley the testator's will, written by his own hand, began: "In the name of God, Amen, I John Stanley make this my last will and testament * * *" and was otherwise unsigned. The court of common pleas held the will duly signed, "for being written by himself, and his name in the will, it is a sufficient signing within the statute which does not appoint where the will shall be signed, in the top, bottom or margin, and therefore a signing in any part is sufficient."
