## Opinion text

Dissenting Opinion by
Mb. Chief Justice Bell:
I regret that I must dissent from this decision. I believe that a forgery can be legally ratified by a wife if done, as here, without coercion and with a full understanding of the facts and of the consequences thereof. No matter how heart-appealing appellant’s claim may be, or how laudatory this Court’s objective, neither can or should serve as a legal basis for a Court’s decision.
