CRIPPLED CHILDREN

THE AUCKLAND BEQUEST. Per Press Association. • AUCKLAND, March 13. In connection with the statement made by Mr C. J. 11. Norwood, of Wellington.. in which he expressed the hope that the national fund for crippled children might receive a further sum, approximately £IOO,OOO, from the estate of the late Mr JI. S. Dadley, of Auckland, inquiries made from the Public Thustee, who is administering the estate, have elicted the information that under the terms of Mr Dadley’s will the estate must be applied to the establishment and maintaining of a home for crippled children at Auckland. Mrs Dadley, who is advisory trustee in the estate, had expressed her pleasure that the causo which her late husband had so much at heart and for which he had already made some provision had now also appealed to the generosity of other citizens. There was no reason why there should not be friendly co-operation between the two schemes, but having regard to the terms of the will it was impossible that the funds in the estate could be made part of the national fund now being raised. By the terms of the will the estate funds must be used for a home for crippled children at Auckland.
