WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The Rev. David Laing, M.A., Rector of St. Olave,
London, and also residing at Mornington-road, St.
Pancras, had made his will on the 29th of Decem-
ber, 1857, wherein he appointed his wife the sole
executrix, who dxly proved the same in the London
Court of Probate on the 18th of the present month.
The personal property was sworn under £B,OOO,
besides which there are freehold estates. The will
is short, and he has left the whole of his property
of every description to his wife for her own sole
use. He has enumerated in his will some of the
testimonials which had been presented to him ; for
instance, a gold snuff-box and silver inkstand by
the St. Ann's Society, a bronze clock and bronze
candelabra by the Governesses Benevolent Institu-
tion, and a testimonial from the district of Trinity,
St. Pancras ; consequently these public tokens
of respect devolve to the widow. This
excellent and well-known clergyman was
36 years in the church ; he was for some time
chaplain of the Middlesex Hospital, incumbent of
Trinity Church, Haveretock-hill, and subsequently
he became rector of the valuable preferment of St.
Olave, Hart-street, London ; this latter living
.he
only held for the terms of three years ; havinff dma
sixtieth years of his age.
