¶1I agree with Justice BIRD that the case must be reversed for the exclusion of statements made by the deceased mother of petitioner during her lifetime, which were admissible on the question of pedigree. The testimony of Mr. Raby as to nonaccess or as to facts tending to establish nonaccess was properly rejected. See Yanoff v. Yanoff, post, 383, and authorities there cited.
