WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of General Sir Thomas Willshire, Bart.,
G.C.8., of Hill House, Windsor Forest, Berks, was
proved in London on the 26th ult. The executors
and trustees nominated are Lady Willshire, the
relict ; G, S. Maxwell, Esq., Trippenden, Kent, the
brother-in-law; and Norman Cowley, Esq., Mon
tagu-place. The personalty was swan under
£25,000. General Willshire was Colonel of the
51st Foot, and served with distinction in India, and
wore the Order of the Dooranee Empire. Sir
Thomas attained to the age of 73, and is succeeded
in the baronetcy and estates by his eldest son, a
minor, in his twelfth year. The Colonel's will,
which is of more than ordinary length, was exe-
cuted in January, 1860, with a codicil of the same
date. Its dispositions are confined to the members
of his family. To Lady Willshire, his relict, he
leaves an immedate legacy of £l,OOO, his carriages,
books, and furniture, an annuity of £2OO, and the
use of his plate for her life ; the latter, upon her
decease, to be held by his son succeeding to the
baronetcy and to descend as heirlooms. He bequeaths
to his eldest son his shares in the Bank of Bombay,
also his Khelat sword and all his military decora-
tions. The General directs a sum of £20,000 to be
set apart ; and, after paying the annuity to his
relict and £lOO a year to his niece, a daughter of
hia late brother, to divide the remainder in certain
proportions amongst his daughters and younger
son, leaving to the last named a larger portion,
The will and codicil of the Rev. James Blencowe,
formerly of Broughton, Oxford, afterwards of Pen-
grese, Cornwall, and late of Sidmouth, Devon, at
which latter place he died May last, was proved in
the London Court by the executors, Robert Blen-
cowe, Esq., of Hampstead, the brother of the testa-
tor, and the Rev. Marwood Tucker, M.A., of
Knowles House, Clist, St. George, Devon. The
personalty was sworn under £90,000. The will
bears date Nov. 2, 1860, and the codicil Feb. 11
last. The documents are of very moderate dimen-
sions, and not expressed with technical formality.
The bequests are pecuniary and numerous, and are
bestowed upon personal friends as well as upon the
branches of a rather extensive family. To the two
sons and daughter of his executor, the Rev. M.
Tucker, handsome legacies are bequeathed ; to the
daughter, £B,OOO ; to the son, Marwood Tucker,
£6,000, together with the testator's library and
pictures ; and to the other son, Edmund B. Tucker,
the residue of the personal estate. The testator
has bequeathed to his brother, one of the executors,
in addition to legacies by the will and codicil,
a further sum of £3OO, and the like sum is also
given to the other executor. It is gratifying to ob-
serve that the rev. gentleman has kindly considered
his servants, and has bestowed legacies varying in
amount upon all of them. To one servant the hand-
some sum of £BOO is bestowed, and another an an-
nuity has been granted, all payable free of duty.
The following charities have been considered by
the rev. testator, £lOO being lett to each, viz. :
The Society for promoting Christian Knowledge,
the Society for the Enlargement of the Incomes of
Curates in Populous Places, and the Corporation of
Sons of the Clergy, for the Relief of Poor Widows
and Children of Clergymen.
The will of Mark Robert Watt Ormsby, Esq.,
of Manchester-street, Manchester-square, was
proved in London by his sister, Miss Anne Frances
Watt Ormsby, the acting executrix. The testator,
who , died in June last, had executed his will in
1851, which is very brief. It bequeaths the whole
of his real and personal property, with the excep-
tion of a small annuity, to his sister.
