Another presumption tend ing to annu if not a contract, at least the written expression of a man's intentions respect ing his tproperty, was that in virtue o w ich legacies were deemed to be revoked when, subsequently to the will, enmity, to certain degrees, had sprung up between the testa tor and the legatee. This is another of those presumptions which have ceased to be well founded. The correct infer ence at the resent day would be, that if the enmity had the effect of changing the testator's intentions it would also cause him to revoke the legacy in an express manner. Article 893 accordingly declares that enmity does not establish a presumption of revocation.
