WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of Rear-Admiral Sir William Fairbrother Car-
roll, K.C.8., Lieutenant-Governor of Greenwich Hospital,
was proved in London by his son, Herbert Alexander Car-
roll, Esq., sole executor. Tho will bears date the 24th of
June, 1858, and is attested by the Rev. J. K. Goldnoy,
MA., Chaplain, Royal Hospital, Greenwich, and J. L.
Jay, assistant secretary. This gallant officer has passed a
long life amidst events of imminent peril necessarily inci-
dent to the naval profession. Sir William survived his wife,
Lady Carroll, eight years. Her ladyship was the daughter
of Admiral Sir R. Dacres, G.C.H., by whom he had several
children. The will, which is purely confined to the mem-
bers of his family, gives to his daughter a life interest in his
real and personal estate, appointing his son, Herbert A.
Carroll, Esq., residuary legatee. The trustees nominated
to carry out the directions contained therein are the Rev.
G. Casson, M.A., Rural Dean, Rector of Olde, Northamp-
tonshire, and J. C. Stirke, Esq., Threadneedle-street.

The will of General Jean Francois Allard, late General-
in-Chief of the armies of the King of Lahore, Charge
d'Affaires of the King of France, and Commander of the
Legion of Honour, has been very recently administered to
in the London Court of Probate on behalf of the relict,
Madame Marie Banon Pandei Allard, the residuary legatee
for life, BOW residing at St. Remy, in France. The testator
was a native of St. Tropez, and a General of the Hon. East
India Company's forces on their Bengal establishment, and
died in the camp of Pichavor, in Lahore, having executed
his will a few years prior thereto, being written in the
French language, of which four copies were executed by
the testator : one he gave to his brother, another to his wife,
a third to his notary, and the fourth he retained in his own.
possession. The General has been most minute in describ-
ing the nature of his property, one fourth of which he be-
queaths to his relict for her life or widowhood ; also annui-
ties to his brother and a sister, and to two of his uncles ;
the entire property, subject to the payment of these annui-
ties, is bequeathed among the testator's children in equal
proportions.
The will of the Rev. Edward Craven Hawtrey, D.D.,
Provost of Eton College, and Vicar of Maple Durham,
Oxon, was administered to in London on behalf of his sis-
ter, who is his nearest relative, the testator's mother, to
whom by his will he had left the whole of his property,
having died in the doctor's lifetime. The personalty was
sworn under £lB,OOO. The testator's will, which bears
date so long back as 1825, is entirely in his own handwrit-
ing, and contained in a few short lines. There are no exe-
cutors appointed therein, nor any attesting witnesses to the
instrument, which never appears to have been altered since
its fabrication. It is in substance as follows :—" I, Edward
Craven Hawtrey, of Eton, Bucks, do declare this to be my
last will and testament. I give and bequeath all property
I may die possessed of, here and elsewhere, real and per-
sonal, to my dear mother, Elizabeth Hawtrey, and her
assigns, for ever, after paying off my just debts. Signed,
E. C. Hawtrey. Eton College, January 30, 1825." Dr.
Hawtrey died a bachelor, at the age of 74.—Illustrated
