lately belonging to Peter Garrick, Esq. of 
Lichfield, brother to the celebrated Eng- 
lish Roscius, claimed by Mrs. Docksey, a 
sister of Mr. Garrick, as heir at law and 
devisee under the will made in 1791, 
against Mr. Stephen Panting, an apothe- 
cary of Lichfield, who claimed, under a 
deed of gift, a codicil, and subsequent will, 
obtaied in the year 1795, and in the 86th 
year of the deceased’s age. Mr. Erskine, 
on the part of the plaintiff, pleaded with 
his usual eloquence, ability and animation. 
After the examination of eleven witnesses, 
(whose concurrent testimony proved the 
decay of Mr. Garrick’s intelleéts some 
time before the date of the deed), Mr. 
Plumer, Mr. Panting’s leading counsel, 
withdrew the claim of his client.
