New York Court of Appeals

Franklin P. Roberge, Appellant v. Robert E. Bonner, as Executors of Robert Bonner, Deceased, Respondents

May 25, 1906185 N.Y. 265

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's judgment, holding that the trial court's exclusion of the testator's diary entries did not constitute reversible error and that the erroneous jury instruction requiring clear, convincing, and conclusive proof, though technically wrong, was not substantial enough to merit reversal.
