Miss Ellen Burke, who died recently
at an advanced age, is reputed to have
left quite an estate, mostly in cash,
Miss Burke's will is said to specify
that the bulk of her estate be given
to the Church of the Immaculate Con-
ception. Small requests are left to
some relatives and none to others. and
it is limited that the will is to be con-
tested on the grounds Of undue influ-
ence on the part Of the pastor. As
Judge Edward NJ Burke of the West
erly probate cuort is a nephew of the
testator, he viii therefore probably
not preside at the session when the
will is presented for probate.
Under the statutes the town council
is qualified to sit as a probate court,
and may do so in this particular case.
Or, a judge of probate from some
other district may preside.

the estate of William Smith, for per-
mission to- take up mortgage Oh
$3.50 on real estate and also to erect
a monument to cost $415, was consld-
cred. Judge John w. Sweeney, coun-
sci for the widow of Mr.. Smith, did
not object to the payment of the mort
gage, as it would not impair her one
third interest in the estate, and a de-
cree to that effect was given.
Judge Sweeney in behalf of mis- ell
ent did object to expending so large
a sum for a monument, over one-third
of the whole estate. which is at the
present time, with mortgage paid, 81
102, less expenses of administration.
He knew that the statutes made pro-
vision for headstone and he did not
object to the expenditure of two hun
bred dollars for a monument, but was
of opinion that the children should
contribute to the cost, if they insisted
on a monument such as had been Sc
lected by them. Judge Sweeney said
that Mrs. Smith, stepmother of the
children referred to, did not want any
of her money to go into the proposed
monument.
At the suggestion of the court, par
ties in interest will endeavor to come
to an amicable agreement in regard
to the proposed monument. The mat
ter was continued to next court day.
