WILLS ./11VD BEQUESTS.

TLe will of Colonel' Sir Claude Martin Wade,
C. 8., of the Hon. Rig India Company's Service,
late of the city of Bath, was proved in London by
two of the executors—namely, Sir Fitzroy Kelly,
Q.C., and John Kemp, Esq , solicitor, Bath—power
being reserved to Robert Wigram Crawford, Esq.,
of Old Broad-street, City, and John Dickinson, jun.,
Esq. of Abbot's-hill, Hemel, Hempstead, the other
executors. The peasonalt.y in England was sworn
under £20,000. Colonel Sir C. M. Wade, the testa-
tor, distinguished himself both as a military officer
and as a diplomatist, and received the honour of
knighthood, the rank of C. 8., and several other
badges of distinction for his valuable services. The
testator has died possessed of a competent fortune,
the principal of it apparently being invested in
Indian Securities. To Lady Wade, who possesses
an income under settlement, ho has bequeathed a
life interest in two thirds of the general estate, sub-

ect to certain payments as provisions for younger
Children, his son Claude Fitzroy Wade taking an
entire third of the property. To Lady Wade he
has also bequeathed the jewellery, furniture, car
riages, &c., absolutely; but the presentation swords
and other trophies, &c, are only bequeathed to her
for life, being directed en her decease to pass to his
son Claude, to be retained by him as heirlooms.
The residue of the estate is bequeathed among
the testator's younger children. The colonel
has left legacies to the following charitable
institutions:—To the Earl of Shaftesbury,
£5O, according to his discretion, towards the
support of ragged schools; to the Mineral
Water Infirmary, Bath, £5O; to St. George's
Hospital, Hyde Park, £25, and to a lunatic asylum,
£2O. Sir Claude has left his books, MSS., and
other documents to his executors, to be dealt with
according to their discretion, and, if published, the
profits arising from such are directed to form a
part of the residue of his estate..--The will of Sir
James Williams, Bart., of Clovelly Court, near
Bideford, Devon, Ed winsford, Carmarthenshire, and
Upper Grosvenor-street, was proved in London on
the 18th ult. The executors appointed were the
Hon. John Wm. Fortescuo (since deceased) and the
Hon. Gerard James Noel, M.P. for Rutlandshire, to
hom probate was granted, the personal property
being sworn under £35,000. Sir James died poe.
sessed of considerable property, consisting of
valuable estates, together with the persanalty above
mentioned. He married, in 1823, Lady Mary,
daughter of Earl Fortescue, by whom he had issue
three daughters (all married); and having no male
heir, he has devised amongst them his various
estates, rendered exceedingly lucrative from their
mineral products. Lady Mary Williams being
provided for under settlement and otherwise, Sir
James has bequeathed to her an immediate legacy
of £5OO, together with the• enjoyment of the town
mansion, furniture, carriages, plate, &c. The plate,
on the decease of her ladyship, is directed to pass
to his three daughters and to their children in re-
spective portions. The daughters are also appointed
residuary legatees. The baronetcy, which was
created in 1795, has now become extinct. Sir James
succeeded to the title and estates in 1829, on the
death of his father, and attained to the age of 71.
He served the office of High Sheriff for Carmar-
thenshire in 1848, and represented that county in
Parliament for a brief period. Tho will is rather of
unusual dimensions, its contents having spread over
an extent of nearly 300 folios, and bears date
December 1858, and a codicil 1859.—Illustrated
