An executor-nominate being appointed by testament to lay out a sum upon a tomb to the defunct; and having begun the work, was found not to be put in mala fide, to complete it, by a process of reduction of the testament. Therefore the expence was allowed out of the first end of his intromissions, though the testament was afterwards reduced upon this plain ground, that the testator was in extremis, and insensible when made to subscribe it.

Fol. Dic. v. 1. p. 111. Fountainhall, v. 2. p. 587. & 727.
