WILLS AND BEQ UESTS.

The will of Colonel Charles Fitzgerald, of the
Hon. East India Company's service (retired), on
their Bengal establishment was proved in London
on the 20th of May by the executors, ./Eneas
Mackintosh, Esq., appointed by the will, and
Edward Fitzgerald, Esq., his brother, appointed
by the codicil. The will and codicil are dated
respectively the 16th and 28th of September, 1857.
The testator died, on the 18th of April, 1859, at the
Club Chambers, Regent-street. His personal estate
was sworn under £40,000. He has left his property
to be equally divided amongst his four brothers and
their children, his sister and her childreg ; to his
nephews and nieces, some orphans as described; and
should any of the legatees contest the will they shall
be excluded from any participation thereof.
Munificcent bequests to the charitable institu-
tions in the metropolis, as hereunder mentioned,
amounting to £17,500, are left by the will of the
late Joshua Drinkald, Esq., of Blandfordxquare,
Marylebone, who died on the 30th of March, 1859
—viz., to the Middlesex Hospital, Charles-street,
Tottenham-court-road, £3,000 ; the Free Hospital,
Gray's-inn-road, £2,000 ; the Western General Dis-
pensary, Marylebone, £l,OOO ; the School, Christ-
church District, Stafford-street, Marylebone, £500;
(these two last named legacies to be placed to an en-
dowment fund, if any such exist ; the Dreadnought
Seamen's Hospital Ship, Thames, of which his late
brother, John Drinkald, was a most zealous working
member of the first committee formed for promoting
the object of this most useful charity, £l,OOO ; the
London Hospital, Whitechapel-road, £4,500 ; the
Samaritan Society, instituted to assist those cases
of distress in the London Hospital which are so
much in need of it, £5OO ; and the Marine Society,
London, to be applied to the object for which the
society was origihally intended, aid xot in building
purposes, £5,000. His personal estate was proved
under £80,009, and there is a probability of the
above institutions being benefited by the terms of
the codicil, which changes the disposal of the
residue given by the will in favour of the
institutions. The will was made on the Ist of Sep-
tembar, 1858, and the codicil on the 22d of Decem-
ber following. The executors are William Symons,
Esq., of Mark-lane, and Francis James ladsdall,
Esq., of Gray's Inn. There are many pecuniary
and specific bequests, and the estates, farms, and
lands, are bequeathed in portions. His niece,
ary
Ann Drinkald, has a life interest in a large portion
of the estates, and is left the residence and house-
hold furniture and effects, and a pecuniary legacy;
and to Mr. Robert Keeling, merchant, at Leghorn,
or to his wife, or children, there is left a legacy of
£lO,OOO. It is a long will, and was proved in the
London Court of Probate on the 27th of May, 1859.
