IT lately came to light in the Eng
lish Probate Court that a man named
Pound had lived with two wives for
fifteen years. He divided his time
between them, and each thought when
he was absent that he was away on
business. He was GA the happlest
terms with both. He passed with one
wife as Mr.. Jackson, and bequeathed
her money under that name. 1t was
agreed that the property he acquired
underline name of Pound should go to
wife Pound, and that under Jackson
to wife Jackson. But for his tesla
mentary dispositions, the women
would probably have been in ignor-
ance of the real state of things to this
hour.
