COURT CIRCULAR,

IT'LL OF 'I,—ATE ANDREW
DUCROW.
Mr. Ducrow has appointed Messrs. Oscar Byrne, Anderton,
and Serle his executors, to each of whom he has bequeathed
1001. The other legacies are as follows :—to his brother-in-
law, Mr. D. W. Broadfoot, 3001. ; to Mr. Joseph Hillier
3001. ; to. Margaret and Louisa Ducrow (sisters of the de-
ceased) 2031. each ; to Master Chafe, commonly called Le
Petit Ducrow, adopted` son of deceased, 2001. ; the residue
of his • property, consisting of 47,5601. 3 per Cents., his
stud, theatrical dresses, fittings, carriages, household fur-
niture, plate, pictures, &c., tohis widow for life, with re-
milinder to his children, Peter, Andrew, and Louisa, at her
death. Mrs. Ducrow senior is not named in the will ; she
enjoyed from her son an annuity of 1001., which the widow
has undertaken to continue ; Mr. Ducrow's sisters will, it
isalso understood, enjoy 751. per annum each. He has left
X3OOl. for the decoratien of his monument ; the adornments
will be from designs by Mr. Danson, who furnished a sketch
for the tomb as it now stands. The interest of 2001. 3i per
Cents., is to be devoted perpetually to the purchase of flowers
to decorate his lait resting place. He has directed that his
grooms shall be provided with mourning. Mrs. Ducrow
has presented the executors with handsome diamond rings,
A few days prior to the death of the great artist, his health
apparently improved, and he resolved to join his company
at Liverpool. So assured was he of returning strength that
he caused his name to be advertised to appear on Monday the
7th inst. On the sth he was borne to the grave. He parted
from Le Petit Ducrow in October last, when the latter was
.;ispatched to join the troop at Liverpool. " Good bye," he
exclaimed ; " study your profession, be a good boy, you'll never
see your papa again." He had been! long subject to violent
nervous attacks, and paralysis was the natural consequence of
the continual strain upon his system. The amount of his pro-
perty cannot be easily estimated, but the value of his stud, his
personal effects, banker's account, and funded money, cannot
be reckoned at less than 55,000/. Messrs. Hillier and Broadfoot
will conduct the establishment for the benefit of the widow and
children. Mr. Batty will be, it is said, the future lessee of the
Amphitheatre, when rebuilt ; and Ducrow's stud and company
will reappear iu a new arena in the metropolis next Easter
llonday.

SUICIDE OF A YOUNG FEMALE.—Yester•
day an inquest was resumed before Mr. W. Cartter, Coroner,
at the Coburg Arms, Webber. street, Lambeth, on the body of
Sophia Wallis, aged 20. Mary Deans, residing at 3, New-
street, said that deceased lodged in that house, occupying the
first floor. On the morning of Tuesday last, she came home
about one o'clock, accompanied by a man named Chivers; she
was then very tipsy. Between seven and eight o'clock in the
morning, she was called up by Chivcrs, who said he thought
Susan was dead, and on looking at her, she appeared
to be so. Chivers immediately went for a surgeon, and
Mr. Sewell attended. The previous week I heard de-
ceased expressed her regret at the course of life she was fol-
lowing, and wish herself dead. She was much attached totl
Chivers, who has recently enlisted in the 10th Hussars, and
wished to go with him t o Dublin, where the regiment is sta-
tioned. Mr. J. Sewell, of the New-cut, surgeon, said he saw
the deceased about eight o clock on Tuesday morning last, and
found her quite dead. He had since opened the body, and
found an effusion of serum on the brain, sufficient to account
for death. On analysing the contents of the stomach, he found
it strongly impregnated with oxalic acid. The man Chivers
was here called, and, after being cautioned, briefly stated the
different places where they had been drinking on the previous
evening ; and the Jury returned a verdict--" That the de-
ceased died by poison, but whether taken by herself, or admi-
nistered by others, there was no evidence to show."
