DESTROYED THE WILL DRAWN BY JUDGE INGLIs,
and the Rev. John Howard Smith, of the English
Church, to which she was attached, consulted a
lawyer, and about 1863 a will was drawn. The will

she gave great deal to the king Of thai country to

had thought that there was an end OF all this trou

that banditti OF liars and subOrners OF witnesses
mad attempted to steal away this property from its
rightful owners. AT halfpast three O'Clock, before
the learned gentleman had concluded his able and
lucid statement, the Court adjourned till eleven
O'Clock this morning.
