WILLS AND BEQUESTS.

The will of the Right Hon. Maria Dowager
Countess of Haddington, late of Tyninghame
House, near Preston Kirk, N. 8., but who died at
her residency, 43, Berkeleysquare, was adminis-
tered to in he-Majesty's Court of Probate on the 18th
of this month by George Win. Hope, Esq., M.P.,
of Lufness, Haddingtonshire, and Rear -Admiral
W. A. B. Hamilton. The personal property in the
United Kinglom was sworn under £20,000. The
will bears (Ile the Bth of June last. This lady is
of honourabh descent and distinguished connec-
tions, being :he only child of the fourth Earl of
Macclesfield, and married the late Earl of Had-
dington, Kr., some time Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, whnn she survived but a short period,.
Her ladyship has bequeathed her property,
which conssted both of realty and per-
sonalty, in the following manner :—To Com-
mander Thonas Drake, R.N., who is a branch
of the Countess's family, she has bequeathed the
leasehold residence in Berkeley-square, with this
peculiar direction, that a clock which appears to
be let into the wall of her sleeping apartment
should also form part of this bequest, and become
the property of that gentleman. To Captain Cos-
patrick Hamilton, R.N., the Countess has be-
queathed a legacy of £2,000 ; and there are several
legacies and bequests to various friends and others.
The real estate and residue of the personalty de-
volves upon Rear-Admiral Hamilton, who is ap-
pointed the residuary legatee. Tflere is a charitable
bequest which involves much singularity in its
bestowal—it is a legacy of £l,OOO to,the society for
Destitute and homeless children in Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, which is to be given
and applied to that branch of the charity
only which is devoted to boys, and not
to be applied far the benefit of girls. Her
ladyship has left a legacy of £2OO to her coachman,
and £5O to her cook. This venerable lady, who
died on the 11th of last month, attained to her 80th
year, and died etildless ; consequently the title re-
verted to the next heir, the present earl, who is a
cousin to her late husband, the Earl of Had-
dington.

The will of the Right Hon. Isabella Handcock
Baroness Harris of Waterstown, Ireland, and of
Onslow-square, Kensington, was proved in London
on the 22d instant by the Right Hon. George
Francis Robert Baron Harris (her stepson), the
sole executor. This lady is of Irish descent, was
the only child axd heiress of Robert Handcock
Temple, Esq., of Waterstown, and married Lord
Harris, the eldest son of the distinguished conque-
ror of Tippoo Saib, one of the most treacherous,
barbarous, and sanguinary despots that ever sat
upon an Asiatic throne, or disgraced the pages of
our Eastern history. The will of her ladyship
is very brief, and, with one or two exceptions,
confined entirely to the members of her family. To
her eldest son, Robert Temple Harris-Temple, Esq.,
who assumed that surname upon inheriting the
estate of hia maternal grandfather, her ladyship
has bequeathed her library in her residences in
England and Ireland. There are other specific
bequests, consisting of jewellery, &c., bestowed on
her sons and daughter ; and appointing as residu-
ary legatees her younger son, Lieutenant Arthur
Ernest Harris, and her daughter, Louisa Matilda,
wife of the Hon. Richard Handcock, eldest son of
Lord Castlemaine. Lady Harris makes a singular
direction with regard to her late husband's watch
and chrysoprase suite, and other articles of
jewellery, that they should be sold, and the
proceeds giver to the poorest families in
Waterstown, Her ladyship's will is dated
so far back is 1846, being one year after
the decease of ter husband, and she died on the
10th of Januarylast, in the 57th year of her age.
The will of VTilliam David Lewis. Esq., Q.C.,
of New-square, Lincoln's-inn, and of Kensington-
square, South, wts proved in the Principal Registry
on the 12th of this month by Charles Edward
Lewis, Fsq., the trother, and Mrs. Lewis, the relict.
It was executed :only a very short time before his
death. This gertleman devoted his attention to
that branch of the legal profession which is desig-
nated "equity drawing and conveyancing. Mr.
Lewis unfortunately diminished a handsome compe-
tency, as he himself asserts, by contesting several
elections for representation in Parliament. That he
was of a kindly snd benevolent disposition is ob-
viously indicated by the expressions of regret con-
tained in his 'will of his inability to provide further
for those who were near and dear, owing to this
excess of expenditure, otherwise than by leaving
them very smell legacies, and with this exception
he leaves to his relict his estate, real and personal,
absolutely, appointing her residuary legatee. His
law and other books he has left to his brother
Charles and to his sou, William Arnold Lewis, be-
queathing to the latter his copyright of the work
" On Perpetuities, with a Supplement," of which
Mr. Lewis was the author.—lllustrated London
