I have seen the will, I think the original, but cannot swear whether it was the original or a copy. I knew of the contents of the will from, conversations with my wife and also the executor. I am the other executor, but have not acted. My son has no property in New Zealand. He was registered in last roll as an elector. I registered his name ; at any rate it was done through mc. He was registered for certain land [sections named.J I bought this land from second hands. I told my son that I would give hini a little interest in this—a mental arrangement. I told him I would give him some of the profits arising from this property. It was a mere mental arrangement, that is there was no deed, an iutcntion which has never been carried out.
