corpus, that the Sergeant alarms Of the e.

ZF-Thc last will of queer old miser who
has just died is much talked OF at Vienna
He cut off all his nearest relatives and made
very distant one, an extremely handsome
young girl, sole heiress Of bis considerable
property So far there is nothing extraor-
binary: but there is a condition added to it.
The testator was q hunchback, and had
clrb-fcot, which defects probably had CO.
structed many attempts Of his to marry. He
has made it, therefore, condition SINE qua
non, that the heiress is to get the property
only when she marries a man shaped as he
was. She is, besides, to live in convent
three months in each year to pray for his
soul The heirs-at-law have attached this
odd last will. Ell the plea that when it was
made the tastafor must evidently have been
mad AS there is, however, no equity iuris-
diction in Austria, they may find their ta> K
not an easy one.
