been granted to her daughters, the Right Hon. AGNES
PERCY, and Lady EMILY MURRAY (wife of Lord
JAMES MURRAY), the Executrixes constituted by the
tenour of the Will. The effects are sworn under
£12,000. The Will is in her Ladyship's own hand-1
writing, and-was made very soon after the death of
her daughter, the late Lady ELIZABETH PERCY,
which event is alluded to with much affliction and
regret. The Duchess desires that, upon " quitting
this world of sorrow," should she die near London,
she may be interred near the Duke, or some of her
children ; but if at a distance, in the nearest church-
yard, and that her funeral may be quite private.—
Her property is given generally to her daughters,
the above-mentioned executrixes, who are the resi-
duary legatees ; but particular bequests, as memo-
rials of affection, are given to different members of
the family, to servants, and to a very few friends. A
picture of the Duke set in diamonds to Lady Emma',
and a diamond watch to Lady AGNES. Similar be-
quests are made to. " PRUDHOE," the present Duke
and Duchess of NORTHUMBERLAND, and Lord JAMES
MURRAY. A Codicil is added in the hand-writing
of Lady EMILY, under her mother's directions; it
augments a legacy of one hundred pounds, given by
the Will to the Marchioness of EXETER, to five hun-
dred, and desires that the diamond watch, with the
arrow, may he given to her little grand-daughter.
