Dublin. Timothy Fitzpatrick, who
died in 1888, left a life interest in his
estates in Kilkenny and Queens

wife Of John Lidwill (called "Black

against the Earl of Carrick and others,
as executors, in connection with the
estate. BY an order made in 1885

account called Lidwill VS.. Fitzpatrick
was lodged to the separate credits or
representatives Of the four. sisters

Mrs. Purcell's share, which. now
amounted to about $500.

the lands, and 1t was credited in er-
.ror to the account; "Lidwill vs. Fftzpat.
