IN THE GOODS OF ---- CARTER.

Dr. HAGGARD stated that the deceased, -
Carter, died suddenly at sea, intestate, leaving be-
hind him a widoW and three children, all of whom
were at the present time in New South Wales, his
present motion therefore was that administration
might be granted to the father of the deceased for
the benefit of the• widoW.

The COURT ordered accordingly.
MR. FARQUHAR'S WILL.—COLVIN v. FRAZER AND

OTHERS.

The KING'S ADVOCATE this morning commenced
his arguments in support of the will of Mr. Far-
quhar. • The paper sought to be propounded was
dated 7th March, 1814 ; 'it was attested by three
witnesses, appoints eight executors, and was in all
respects duly executed ; and Mr. David Colvin, one
of the executors, had thought it in duty to his de-
parted friend to bring it under the considera-
tion of that Court. In the discharge of this
duty he was sorry in having incurred the charge
of dealing harshly with the other side ; but
perhaps their anger was only natural, when
it was considered they had been in possession of
the property nearly twelve months before the ad-
ministration granted to Mr. Frazer was •called in.
The question for the Court to decide was, did
this document contain the will of Mr. Farquhar—
if it did, and the other side could not prove that it
was subsequently cancelled by Mr. Farquhar him-
self, it must be admitted to proof.
The Learned Counsel then sent .oser the provi-
sions of the will,:which have been.before the public,
and contended there could be no doubt that was the
manner in which he wished the property to be dis-
tributed, and that he had formed the project of giv-
ing it to promote education in, Scotland, many years
ago, appeared from letters as long back as the year
1790. He then states that he had mentioned the
manner in which he intended to dispose of his for-
tune to some friends who were decidedly against it,
and told him he ought to leave it to his
relatives. " But," adds Mr. F., "my rela-
tives are unknown to me, and they cannot
expect to have what I have obtained by the sweat
of my brow. My mind is decided, and I will dis-
pose of it in that formal manner that no legal objec-
tion shall upset.—(The. Learned Counsel was pro-
ceeding with his argument when our Reporter left
the Court.)
The Bishop of Llandaff was on the Bench the
whole morning, and appeared to take great interest
itis the arguments.
