Whereupon came some on behalf of Henry Walens' and William
de Haddestok and their sons, next heirs of the testator, as they
alleged, and put their claim upon the admission to probate of the
aforesaid testament, on the ground that the testator had assigned to
his wife a lay fee to her and her heirs, which, according to the law
and custom of the City, he could not do. Probate accordingly was
admitted so far as was consistent with the law and custom of the
City.
