THE LATE MARQUIS OF HERTFORD'S WILL.

The will of the late Most Noble FRANCIS
INGRAM SEYMOUR CONWAY, Marquis of HERTFORD, was
proved in the Prerogative Court, in Doctor's Commons,
on the 9th instant, by Isabella Ann Ingram, Marchioness of
Hertford, the relict, and Francis Charles Seymour Conway,
Marquis of Hertford, the son, two of the Executors, power
being reserved to Lord Henry Seymour, the brother, the
other Executor, who has not at present assumed the trust.
—The testator, in the first ,place, devises his freehold and
copyhold estates in the county of York to the Marchioness,
for life, and, after her death, directs the same to be sold,
and the purchase-money to be subject to the general direc-
tions as to his residuary property. (They are to be offered for
sale at the price his Lordship gave for them, to the person
who, at the time of such sale, shall be in possession of the
mansion of Temple Newsam, in that county, with 1601. to
defray the charges of conveyance). All other freehold
estates whatsoever, either in England or Ireland, are devised
to Lord Yarmouth for life, and subsequently to his son,
Lord Beauchamp, and his heirs-male ; the reversion is then
to attend the provisions created by certain deeds made some
years since concerning the Ragley estates. All household
furniture, horses, carriages, carts, implements of husbandry,
provisions, stock, &c. at Ragley and Sudborne, are bequeathed
to Lord Yarmouth ; and the leasehold estates are given to trus-
tees in the same manner, and for the benefit of the persons en-
titled to the said freeholds of inheritance, excepting, however,
Hertford House and Grounds in Manchester-square, and all pro-
perty therein, with the carriages, horses, and every thing apper-
taining, and also the house adjoining, which are left to the
Marchioness for life, and she is invested with the power of leav-
ing the same by will to any person she thinks proper, for the
term only of such person's life, when the said houses, &c. are to
be subject to the previous trusts. This power, however, is by
a codicil revoked. All monies in the funds and in any public
companies, are given absolutely to her Ladyship, with an ob-
servation, that although the testator desires that she should
have the full benefit of the bequest, if she is so desirous ; yet
that he feels confident of her recollecting the conversation that
lately passed between them respecting it. Five thousand
pounds are bequeathed to Lord Henry Seymour, the Mar-
quis's brother, who is appointed an executor : a codicil re-
vokes the bequest. To each of his other brothers, one thou-
sand pounds ; to his nephews, Captain Seymour of the navy,
10,0001. ; and to Horace Seymour and Colonel Hugh Seymour,
5,0001. each. To the Middlesex Hospital 1,0001. There are
other considerable legacies to relatives and friends, and those
to servants are numerous and large ; several of them are speci-
fied for 5001. each, besides handsome annuities. The residue
is to be applied to the purchase of freehold estates, which are to
descend, in the manner before stated, to the present Marquis
and his heirs.—The will is dated July 28, 1820.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO LANDLORDS

AND TENANTS.
In the month of September last, William Phillips, who
rented of the Marquis of Anglesey a large farm at Charlton
Horethorne, Somerset, drove and conveyed away nearly the
whole of his stock and household goods, to prevent the
Marquis from distraining them fo: a large arrear of rent.—
On the 4th of July, William Dyke, of Sudden ; Henry Dyke,
of Wincanton ; Charles Phillips, of Burton's Mill ; Thomas
Dowding, of Cucklington ; and Nathaniel Morrish, of Stock,
Dorset, were summoned to appear at Milborne Port, before
the Rev. H. F. Yeatman and the Rev. J. Monkhouse, two
Magistrates for Somerset, to answer informations which had
been preferred against them by Mr. Castleman, the agent of
the Marquis of Anglesey., for having fraudulently assisted
Phillips in the removal and concealment of part of his stock
and effects, contrary to the statute of George the Second.
chap. 19. The Magistrates, after a patient and laborious in-
vestigation which lasted two days, convicted four of the of-
fenders in the following sums, being double the value of the
goods so removed and concealed by them, viz. V Dyke,
341. 3s. 4d.; Henry Dyke, 761. 10s. 6d. ; Charles Phillips,
981. ; Nathanel Morrish, 381. 4s. 6d.: total, 2461. 18s. Od.—
Thomas Dowding was acquitted, owing to the prosecutors not
being able to prove that Phillips's goods found in Dowding's
possession had been on the farm after the arrear of rent had be.
