TVILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of the Right Hon. Lord John Dutton
Sherborne, late of Sherborne-lodge and Standish-
house, Gloucestershire, and Hyde Park-gardens,
was proved in London, under £lOO,OOO personalty;
the executors nominated being his lordship's
nephew, the Right Hon. Charles John Howard,
Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire; James Houghton
Langston, Esq., of Saraden-house, Oxford; and
Charles F. Bailey, Esq., of Stratford-place. Lord
Sherborne was possessed of considerable landed pro-
perty, principally in Hampshire, Gloucestershire,
and Cheshire, and succeeded to the title and estates,
on the demise of his father, in 1820. His lordship
attained to the great age of 83, and leaves a large
family by his first wife, the daughter of Lord Sto-
well. The will bears date March, 1861, and byre-.
ferring to deeds executed in 1826 and 1848 the
testator has made them part of the will, which—
with a codicil dated July, 1862—comprises 468
folios. His lordship by these deeds has settled his
estates chit fly upon his eldest son, the present baron,
provision being made for his other children, as well
as for his relict. There is a legacy of £5,000 to his
daughter, the Dowager Countess of Ducie ; a like
sum of £5,000 to his son-in-law, Lord Dansany ;
and legacies of £5,000 to two daughters of the pre-
sent Lord Sherborne. Liberal legacies are also left
to his servants—Ll,ooo to his butler, £3OO to this
farm bailiff, and annuities to his cook, housemaid,
nurse, late gamekeeper, and other domestics.
The will of Major-General Sir John E. Wilmot
Inglis, K.C.8., late of the Island of Corfu, who died
at Homburg, in Germany, on the 27th of September
last, was proved in London on the 3d inst., the exe-
cutors appointed being Wm. Fredk. Higgins, Esq.,
and John Crooke Halliburton, Esq. The personalty
in his country was sworn under £lO,OOO. The gal-
lant general held the command of the troJps in the
lonian Islands, and was colonel of the 32d Foot, and
had been attached to that regiment throughout the
whole of his military career, in which he had served
with distinction and reward in Canada and India,
and died at the early age of 48. His name will ever be
associated with Lawrence, at the successful defence
of the residency of Lucknow. The general's will is
entirely in his own handwriting, and was executed
in 1851, he then holding the rank of " Major and
Brevet Lieut.-Colonel of the 32d Regiment," which
designation he appended to his signature, witnessed
by " Frederic Thesiger and Grace Martin." The
will is very brief, and disposes of all investments,
upon the decease of Lady Inglis, amongst their
children in equal portions. Sir John was the son of
the late Bishop of Nova Scotia, and grandson of the
first bishop of that colony. His relict, Lady Inglis,
is the daughter of Lord Chelmsford, recently Lord
High Chancellor of England.

The will of Mrs. Ann Cutto, of Grenada-place,
Surrey, relict of Mr. Abraham Ditto, was proved
in London on the 4th inst ; the personalty was
sworn under £16,000. The executors are Mr. Wm.
Howard and Mr. R. Strong, both of Old Kent-road.
This lady, who died on the 25th ult., executed her
will in September last, leaving to charitable insti-
tutions legacies little short of £lO,OOO. Her shares
(numbering 72) which she held in the London Joint
Stock Bank she bas given, in four equal portions, to
a godchild and to three other friends; and there are
legacies of £lOO each left to a few other individuals ;
but the residue of her property she has not disposed
of, which, it is stated in the will, it was her inten-
tion to do by codicil ; such document, however, ap-
pears not to have been executed. The following are
the charitable bequests :--The National Lifeboat
Institution ; British Orphan Asylum, Clapham ;
Infant Orphan Asylum, Wanstead ; Asylum for
Fatherless Children, Croydon; Governesses' Bene-
volent Institution, Sons of Clergy, St. Ann's Society,

shopsgate, £100; the United Law Clerks' Society,
£5O; and to the Refuge for the Destitute, £5O; all
