_False Dates in Water-marks of Paper._--Your correspondent H. W. D. (Vol.

ix., p. 32.) on the subject of the water-mark in paper, is, perhaps, not

aware that, within the last few years, the will of a lady was set aside by

the heir-at-law, her brother, on account of the water-mark, she having

imprudently, as it was surmised, made a fairer copy of her will on paper of

a later date. The case will be in the recollection of the parties employed

in the neighbourhood of the Prerogative Court.
