Some people make wills in favor of their relations containing such vindictive or arbitrary clifuses as to what they must do, or must not do, under pain of forfeiting the money, that many of the recipients prefer to renounce the wealth that they may follow their own in- clinations, says Pearson’s Weekly. in order In any case the agony of deciding which of the two things to do must be a, terrible mental and moral For instance a, fortune ’of Mrs. Bibby, of Liverpool, to her sister, Katherine Perry, “When my said sister shall cease to be a. nun and leave the said convent (the No- tre Dame Convent, Mount Plea- sant, Liverpool) absolutely.” While Mrs. Bibby’s sister re- mains a nun the interest on the money is to be paid to her on con- dition that none of it is used for the benefit of the convent or any one connected with it. A similar case is that of Lady Mary Catherine As-hburnham, who has not yet come to'any decision as to whether she will continue her life at the convent of the Sacred Heart at Rocha-mp- ton. If she. takes the vow she is precluded by Lord Ashburnha-m’s will from inheriting his real and personal estate. The will has been provisionally sworn at under £250,- 000. She has four years in which to decide, being still a novice at the convent. Her age is twentyâ€"three. Miistn’t Join Army or Navy. Another peculiar will which atâ€" tracted considerable attention six years ago was that of Mr. Robert Beard, who left his estate to his nephew, provided he “did not enâ€" ter either the naval or military ser- vice of the country.” The nephew took the ease to court, and Mr. Jus- tice Cody decided that the clause could not stand, as “such a provi- sion struck at the very security of the State,’ ’ and was therefore con- trary to the public good. An eccentric stockbroker of Sloane Street, who died in 1905, left over £200,000 to his only son, who was then eight years old, on very quaint terms, several pages of the will being taken up with curious provisions regarding the care and moral welfare of the child. He is not allowed to have any dealings with his mother, except as unless and ordered by a Judge in the northern Queensland at from $2.50 Court of Chancery Every effort is to be made by the trustees to prevent the granting of such an order, but if such grant cannot be prevented they are to employ “doctors, nurses, delec- tives or tutors,” as they shall deem necessary, to guard both his moral and material welfare.
