J; LY. i There are many persons who believe that i if they had their rights they would be pos- sessed of considerable property, and that their ancestors more or less remote have been unjustly kept out of great estates or large sums in Chancery. This belief is the cause of a. constant flow of visitors to the will oflice, who delight in reading the will. perhaps 100 or 150 years old, wherein something has been left to one of their forefathers, or at least to some one of the same name, and, sublimely oblivious of the statutes of limitation, thereon build castles in the air. Undoubtedly, if the money is in the court of Chancery, and if, notwithstanding the length of time it may have been there, a person can show a. good title to it. he will be able to get it; but the adventurers in search of property begin at the wrong end. They ignore the Baconian system of philosophy, and, starting with the family tradition that there was once consid- arable property in the family, look up a lot of old wills and waste then= time and money on a. speculative possibility of discovering something they can lay claim to. The pro-l teasional finders out of heirs to unclaimed 1 property begin at the other end.- Thev start 1 LOOK LIKE BIBLES. - There are also mighty volumes made of parchment and bound in leather, with strong brass Clasps, containing the registered copies of wills. It was in respect of these big books that the country visitor inquired of the at- tendant whether they were Bibles, connectâ€" ing them in her mind with the big Bible in the pulpit of her old parish church. The at- tendant promptly replied: “No, ina’ain, they’re the testaments.” Only a. few of the most recent of these books are in the public hall; the others are kept on a lower floor, whence they are brought up when required to be seen. The volume is placed before you on one of the strong desks. the attendant finds the will you have previously searched for, and you stand there and read it. All the original wills are kept in the 'strong room, which is also on a lower floor. You do not read these in the public ball, but go a little way down the passage, on the left, to a room called the reading room. The will you have bespoken is brought to you, and you sit down to a. long table comfortably to read it, but always in View of one or two argus eyed officials, who watch carefully that you do not damage the document or take surreptiâ€" tious extracts beyond the permitted notes. Passing through two pairs of swing doors you enter into the public hall, and see at once arranged on the shelves at the side and under the desks the calendars containing the lists of the names of the testators whose wills have been proved, and also the names of those persons, dead intestate, of whose per~ sonal estate letters of admistration have been granted. ’We stop to road the notice exhibited at one side of the entrance, that the officials in their several departments will give all necessary information for the guidance of the public, and in case of any assistance being required in searching fox‘and reading wills it will be provided on application to the record keeper.

IS.â€"Maurice Healy, RP. no for Cork, asked the Government in the House ht of Commons to-day Whether since the refusal er of John Daly, a life convict in thallium pri- VY son, to connect the Parnelhtes with the dynamite outrages he had been treated with 9" enhanced severity by the prison ofiicials.

Mr. Balfour withdrew the epithet “brutal” but quoted an article from Mr. O’Brien’s paper wherein Earl Spencer was described as adullard in politics Whose temper was soured because he was a. failure socially, and who while in oflioe was guilty of gratifying his vindictive feelings by burning the law into an instrument of murder and outrage; who did not punish crime but shielded nameless in- Henry Campbell Bannermamllome Ruler}, MP. for the Starling district, resumed the debate on the addrees in reply to the Queen’s Speech. He summed up the case against the Government by declaring it had win any resorted to coercion when coercion and proved to beworse than useless. The Gov ernment’s whole Irish policy he said was one of persistent wrongdoing. There could he no pacification of Ireland as long as there existed alienation of the masses and destruc- tion of popular confidence in the administra- tion of justice. Mr. Balfour said that since he had been Secretary for Ireland he had replied to a constant series of votes of censure, all much alike backed by much violent language but by no substance or fact. Brutal attacks upon his government, exactly the same as those made by Mr. O’Brien were made by the press upon Earl Spencer and Sir George Trevelyan Mr. O’Brien appealed to the Speaker to say whether it was in order to impute to him “ brutal and savage attacks. ’7 Baron de Worms Under qecxetarv of State for the Colonies, inmnabed that the official telegrams from the Cave of Good Hope denied the report of a Boer raid into Mambaland. William L. Jackso . Financial Secretary to the Treasury, stated that no demand of that nature had been made upon the Treasury. Henry Labouché‘re asked Whether the Gov- ernment intended to demand a vote for the expenses of witnm who tatificd before the Parnell Commfiion. Mr. Healy then asked: “Was Daly nearly poisoned? ” In reply Mr. Matthews said the prison dis- penser had put too much behadozma in a pre- scription for Daly. He had since been sus- pended for his negligence. Henry Matthews, Secretary of State for Home Affairs, said he had no authority to grant the request. for a sworn inquiry. He denied the allegations against the prison ofli- cials and said Daly had stated that he had no complaint to make of his treatment. . ,.- 7â€" â€"-~ r-vr erty, had left a will, that was certain, but it could not be found at his death; it had been kept locked up in a. box, but when the box was opened the will was not there. The court, being satisfied by the evidence of His Sugden of the contents from her recollection; granted probate of the will as contained in her evidence. In one case, a boy seeing h's ‘ father’s will lying about, and finding it was ‘ written on good, strong paper, cut- it into strips and made it into a tall {or his kite. These were afterwards carefully placed to- gether, the patchwork state of the will was fully explained. and it was then admitted to probate. In another case, after having been lost for a long time, a visit from the dustznan led to the will being found at the bottom of the dusthole. One case that we know of was not the fault of the testator; the executor, at a. public dinner, handed the will to his prom tor to prove, but the will could not after: wards be found. The proctor was sure he gave it to his clerk, who was just as sure he never received it; the safes were searched, the bundles of paper were undone and shaken out, and all the drawers were turned out, but the will was not forthcoming. The legatees began to clamor for their money, when luck- ily the proctor went to another dinner, and on putting his hand into hisdress coat pocket pulled out the missing wiltâ€"London Illus- trated News. - v- â€"vv-. ards, who had for seven? years théfightmuy considered how 1115 should dispose of his prop- m L-..
