and Agnes McDonough, nieces; James V.
Coleman and Joseph and Wm O'Brien
McDonough, nephews, and Maria Cole
man and Kate McDonough, sisters, the
latter being the assignee of Mary Pauline
O'Brien, another niece. The petition sets
forth that Mr.. O'Brien left an estate val
ued at above $9,OOOOOO, and making
the following bequests: Celia Cole
man, 100000; Isabella Coleman,
100000; James V. Coleman, $780,
900; Agnes McDonough, 100000; Jos.

ough, 100000; Roman Catholic Orphan
Asylum, San Rafael, $4,000; Roman
Catholic Orphan Asylum, San Fran
cisco, $4,000; Protestant Orphan
Asylum; San Francisco, $4,000;
that on April 10Th last Mary Paul
inc assigned to Kate M. M. McDonough
and Morris Coleman all her interest; that
there are now in the hands of the execu-
tors funds sufficient to pay the above be-
quests, and an order is asked for partial
distribution of the estate The Court has
set the 29th inst. for hearing the petition.
The purpose of the petition is to ratify
the action of the heirs in the settlement
with Patrick OBrien, the brother of the
dead millionaire. The general impression
is that OBrien received 100000 from
his brothers's estate, but in fact he only
got $275, 900.
