Syllabus

<p>Wills—Probate—Nuncupative Wills—Time for Proof. Rem. & Bal. Code, § 1331, which provides that no “proof” shall be received of any nuncupative will unless offered within six months after speaking the testamentary words, refers to the testimony and not merely to the petition offering the will; and failure to offer the proofs within six months, is not excused by delay in consequence of the several pleas of the next of kin; in view of Rem. & Bal. Code, §§ 1297, 1302, providing that the court may immediately receive the proofs when the will is exhibited.</p>
