JcNlhu iHIOlCl
We are enabled to give brie. outline Of
January, 1882, and is of great length, occu-
plying about twenty large folio sheets. The
value Of the personally is between E350, 900
and G3S0,0O0. Some of the investments
have increased In value during the last few
years, and II is provided In the will that the
bulk of the investments shall be kept
intact, but may, under exceptional circum-
stances, be transferred to consols. The tes-
lament commences with touching and
characteristic expression of thankfulness
TO God for having preserved him with un-
clouded mind and cheerful spirits to his
0sth year. lie praises God for the mercy
vouchsafed to him, and prays that the
beneflcent works which he was permitted to
further may continue after his death. He
directs that his funeral shall be con
Quoted with simplicity and a careful
avoidance of pomp. The executors are
Lord Rothschild, Mr.. Joseph Sebag, Mr..
Arthur Cohen, q. c., NJ. p, and DIR. l..
Loewe, each of whom is to receive fl,0O0,
besides other specific gifts. Mr.. Joseph
Sebag is the residuary legatee, and to him
is bequeathed East Cliff Lodge, Ramsgate,
with It's appurtenances, grounds, and estate
attached, consisting of about thirty acres,
which are practically entailed, a proviso
being added that II Mrs. Scbag should sur
yive her husband she is not to be dispOs-
sGssed. Failing direct heirs male to Mr.
Sobag, the propertyis to pass to Mr.. Arthur
Cohen, Q. O., NJ. p, or his sons. The lease
of the house in Park lane, with its furni-
ture, is left to Mr.. Arthur Cohen, but the
bulk of the pictures are reserved for the
Judith Theological College, Ramsgate. To
Mr.. and Mrs. ii. Gucdalla is bequeathed the
life interest in about f35,0 900; after their
death half reverts to the estate, and half
toward endowing the Ramsgate Synagogue.
The judith Theological College adjoining
is also largely endowed. Upward Of f30,-
600 is bequeathed to the congregational
and charitable institutions in Jerusalem
and the Holy Land, and about fl5,00O
to charitable institutions In London and
Ramsgate, as well as some gifts to
| the churches of Ramsgate and neighbor-
hood. To the Spanish and Portuguese
Jews congregation (tho charities Of which
are largely benelted) is bequeathed $500.
and to the United Synagogue fl,000.
! About 100000 are absorbed in various per-
sonal legacies, the list Of which is very
long. Few, If any, of those to whom Sir
Moses evinced affection Of esteem during
his lifetime are forgotten, but many have
died since the will was made, although only
three years have elapsed. Among the per-
sonal requests are $4,000 TO his niece Miss
Nellie Monteflore, daughter of Mr.. Horatio
Montefore), 81 900 to Mr. and Mrs. Isdore
Spielman (son-in-law and daughter Of Mr..
Sebag), G100 each TO his many grandnieces
and grandnephews, and $500 to the chief
rabbi and Mrs. Adler. The names Of Lord
| and Lady Hammond and OF several clergy
men also figure in the long list. All the
requests are left free of legacy duty. His
/ horses and carriages are left to his coach
man, and all his devoted, faithful servants
receive annuities or legacles,
