Wt lately mentiot,ed cf Lieut. Col. O'Dsig.
betty, of the Marine:. This eccentric character had,
p:evicus to his death, made a will; by which, altar be-
eptenthing 1,0001. in legacies to various persons, he left
residue, amounting at least to 3(),0001. to C. Car-
penter, E:4. of Moditonharn. At this Gentleman's re-
lit:4-st, two -of the neighhoaring .7%lagistratcs, Nrtr. Amu-
of Lacdulph, and Nit.. 'sucker, of Tremaston Castle,
attended the funeral ; after which they accompanied
hips to read the will to Col. O'Dogherty's am and
three unmarried daughters, who were not even men-
tiered in it. When the will had been read, Mr. Car-
eter, in the handsomest manner, renounced all his
r: ht to the property bequeathed, which he immedi-
ately asaiohed over to the Colonel's four children, to
ka divided between them, 1; such proportions as Mr.
C. Raskkigh, tlarmerly a trustee in the family, should

Carl:faxes cum:net on this occasion is, the fact, that
when 31.1 express reached Ileiireth, where tee then was,
with t. o!, O'lloglierty's will, he, without loss of time,
ant last an accident might occur before he could return
borne., executed a etxliell to his own will, wherein be
~•,;:ye IQ the property bestowed upon ;pins o the
t)aioael's children.—Traits of character like these re-
quire. no. : they spank for themselves.
