LW THI GOODS OF LIIIITENANT W. H. WALCOT..

Dr. Spinks moved for probate of a copy of a will. Among
the papers of the dammed a memorandum was found stating
that the document was in the hands of Mews. Goklineman, '
his attorneys. Messrs. Goldioghem, however, bad no recol-
lection of the will being left with them after its execution,
but they inserted advertisements in several newspapers, and
they had received the following letter in reply :
" Chisvari, Miriam, di Servente, Piedmont, July 7.
" Gentlemen,—] am an old Indian, and cousin to the
celebrated Colonel Face, Fane's Hone, India. I was an in-
timate friend of poor Waloot, at whose death and
burial I was present. I can give you the information
you advertise for respecting the missing will,
ad will send same, on receipt of a 101. Bank of England
note in a registered letter by return of pink accompanied
by an undertaking to send me another 101. note when the
said will is in your possession. No departure from these
very fair terms can or will be atteoded to ; sod I think it
but right to state so to prevent disappointment and to
save time.—l remain your most obedient servant,
" Navals FAITE."
MOWS. Goldiogham wrote back that they would send the
201. on receipt of the missing instrument; but alone then
they had heard no more of Neville Fane.
Sir C. Croswell said that if he remembered right there
had been several similar offers from a person of the same
name. The learned counsel was entitled to probate of
the copy, but there were some technical difficulties that
must first be removed.
The case therefore stood over to be moved Kan.
