 The relative from whom this estate
 comes was the late Sir William Bind-
 loss, mayor of Kendall, in Westmore-
 landshire, who died suddenly April 2,
 and the communication announcing the
 next of kinship comes from the attor-
 ney acting for the executors of the es-
 tate, Alexander Milne of Kendall, who
 is also an exeeutor. There was also
 another letter to the same effect from
 John Monkhouse, another executor of
 the estate, and who had been in inti-
 mate rela ationship with the late Sir Will liam for fourteen years prior to his death.
 The American Bindlosses were first couElns of Sir William, they having emigrated from England many years ago, and Thomas Blndloss was the only member of the family who was in cor respondence with him.
 Sir William died without issue and the nearest known relatives are those of the American branch of the family Thomas Palmer Bindloss, above noted; Philip Bindloss, now under treatment in the Memorial hospital; William Bind loss, residing In Mystic; Mrs. Daniel Collins of Montville, and Mrs Mary Scroggie, mother of Conductor Scrog- gle; Mrs. Leander U. Knight, Mrs. Ellen Hilliar and Mrs. Margaret Bl- liott all of New London, and brothers and sisters.
 The communication from the execu- tors, after announcing the death of Sir William, requested such information concerning the family relationship as was within MT. Bindloss' Knowledge, and also gave some information con cerning the provisions of the will.
 The will provides largely in bequests to Sir Williams native town, he hay ing within few years built there a city hall at a cost of sum equivalent to $35 900, and he leaves the income from his late residence property of over 100 acres to the corporation of Kendall, the income from which to provide for all time for the maintenance of the city hall He also erected a public mark ct and gave 1t to the city, and leaves several sums of about $10,000 each to public charities, He made will and two codieils but made no disposition of his residuary real and personal estate, which Attorney Milne estimates will reach the amount above stated. In what form this property exists is not at present known.
