MENTAL ALERTNESS
Witness’s Definition Concluding his cross-examination of Cyril X’aul Hunter, one of the executors in the will of the late Sir George Hupter,' Avhich is being challenged by Lady Hunter, on Friday night, Hr. Watson, who appeared for Lady Hunter, asked witness whether Sir George tad been as “mentally alert” in October, 192 J. after his illness, as before it. After some hesitation, witness said he thought Sir George had not been, aud in reply to Mr. Justice Reed he agreed that a good definition o£ “mental alertness” was “quick on the uptake.” He himself, he said, had been slower on the “up-take,” and knew he was so, when he had been ill., but he had been quite able to come to decisions. That, he thought, was Sir George’s mental condition at the time.
