It appears--I am taking Mr.Meeson's statement as being perfectly accurate--that the will was properly and duly executed by the testator, or rather by the person who tattooed in his presence and at his command: a form of signature which is very well covered by the section of the Act of 1.Vic., cap.26.It seems, too, that the witnesses attested in the presence of each other and of the testator.

It is true that there was no attestation clause: but the supposed necessity for an attestation clause is one of those fallacies of the lay mind which, perhaps, cluster more frequently and with a greater persistence round questions connected with testamentary disposition than those of any other branch of the law.

Therefore, we must take the will to have been properly executed in accordance with the spirit of the statute.
"And now we come to what at present strikes me as the crux.

The will is undated.

Does that invalidate it?
I answer with confidence, no.
