DISCUSSION IN ENGLAND
FEELING AGAINST STIPULATIONS

LONDON, 25th October.
The question, should husbands derive wives' benefits under wills in the event of re-marriage, has been revised by the unusual form of the will of Mrs Annie Meinertzhazen, wife of a D.S.O. colonel. She left an estate of £113,466 to her husband, conditionally oil his remaining her widower. In the event of re-mar-riage, he will receive an annuity of £I2OO, the remainder going to a daughter.
The wife died following an accidental explosion of a revolver. There is a considerable body of opinion amongst the public, as well as in the press, that such marriage stipulations are wrong.
