Ing firm Of r. II. Bisscll & Co.. again examined
In the Surrogate's Court yesterday with reference
to stocks and bonds OF the Joseph Richardson
estate. the whereabouts OF which the temporary

cover. so far however with little success. BY his
last WI. Mr.. Richardson divided his estate. said TO
be Wcrth $50 vUo. CO., between his wife. his son
George and his daughter Dellarifa In equal shares
His wife was by former will excluded from any
part in the estate. and unreenting contest over
the estate Is going between her sepchildren and
herself. At former hearings Mr.. Nicholl testified
that eight years ago Joseph Richardson told him
that everything lie had belonged to his children
and that. believing that the children were entitled
to It. he afterward handed TO Miss Richardson
$l6o.oD worth Of railway bonds.
How often during the years preceding
Joseph Richardson's death" he was asked yester-
day. aid he tell you all his property belonged 10
his childrenr'
on. over dozen times.
Did you ever see him do any act tending TO turn
over Tho title OF his property to his ohildren?"
Il don't remember"
you were very intimate with him. but you can't
remember any such act Of hs?'
No"
DID you receive from him instructions to
purchase securities for his children or to be trans
ferred 10 his Children?
counsel then questioned Mr.. N!chon a. to four
hundred tian aai Northern bonds George Rich
ardson the witness said. after his fathers death.
asserted that these bonds belonged to him. but
he did not remember that Joseph Richardson. be-
fore his death, had ever said The witness
added that ne had turned these bonds TO
the temporary administrator. He sold hun
dred o. them Cor the decedent and placed the
proceeds 20 his credit without asking Georges
permission
You never thought Of asking George whether
you should sell those bonds?" he asked.
NO"
III you would only tell us all you know this
inquiry would not last long" said counsel for the
temporary administrator at last, but It's like
going round Robin Hoods barn trying to get any
thing out Of you"
The inquiry adjourned until Thursday next
