THE HISTORY OF A WILL
TO THE EDITOR.
Sir, —Jfc is not often the Strand Magazine goes astray, but it has done so very much when it wants to palm off upon us this very strange story of the will of a man who died in the Sunnyside Asylum here in June, 1868. The document in question is said to have been lost in a ship (the Schiller) in a hurricane off the Scilly Islands in 1875. It was never the will, as the will is here in our Supreme Court. It could only have been the pro-, bate copy or an exemplification. Original wills made by dying residents are deposited here, and on no account are they transmitted to the Old Country.—l am, Ac., , MICHAEL HART.
