When a copy of the will was put in, the Coroner said: "It reads here sheep, implements and furnitures. That covers the estate, I think!
Mountjoy: Yes, sir.. Pace never had a bank account.
Mr. Wellington interposed to say that Mr. Pace opened a bank ac- count after the will was made.
Witness said he was sole executor, Mrs. Pace assisted in making the will by giving the names of the children.
When he asked Mrs. Pace about the sale of the stock she admitted she sold all the sheep except ten. They had a "battle royal over the money part of the business. Mrs. Pace said she got £74 for the sheep. She would not hand any of the money to witness, or put it in a banking account, as he re quested. She said the sheep were. sold before Mr. Pace died.·
