Syllabus

<p>Will — Probate—Issue devisavit vel non — Verdict of jury.</p> <p>On an appeal from the action of the register of wills admitting a will to probate, a verdict of the jury to the effect that the will in question was not the last will of the decedent, but that a will probated in another state was the last will of the decedent will be modified so as to eliminate all reference to the will probated in the other state. In such a proceeding the court has no jurisdiction to pass upon the validity of the will probated in the other state; and this is the case although the validity of such will was one of the questions submitted to the jury.</p>
