Note 44 — Chapter IV · [38] Of Professional Duties in certain Cases which require a Knowledge of Law.
Reading edition
“In the construction of the statute 29 Car. II. c. 3. it has been adjudged that the testator’s name, written with his own hand, at the beginning of the will, as, ‘I, John Mills, do make this my last will and testament,’ is a sufficient signing, without any name at the bottom; though the other is the safer way.” See Blackstone’s Comment., bk. ii. ch. 23. vol. ii. p. 376. [This is no longer law.]
