An application by Mrs Ailsa Hazel Lillian Bagby, executrix named in the will of Richmond Stanley Bagby, a horse trainer, of Ellerslie, for an order granting leave to swear an affadavit, on the motion for probate of the will, that Bagby died on or since May 19, 1947, was heard in chambers before Mr Justice Finlay in the Supreme Court at Auckland yesterday. An order was granted in terms of the motion. No trace has been found of Bagby, a well-known trainer, whose car was found empty on a vehicular ferry when it arrived at Mechanics Bay shortly after 9 p.m. on May 19, 1947. The tickets were checked on the vessel a few minutes after it left Devonport, and a ticket clipped both at Auckland and Devonport, was found in the car. No-one was seen to leave the vessel by foot when it arrived at Auckland.
