KING GEORGE’S WILL.
OUTSIDE ALL JURISDICTION. NEVER MADE PUBLIC. / LONDON, January 22. The terms of King George the Fifth’s will are never to be made public. His will is outside all jurisdiction, and only the members of the Royal Family will be aware of its contents. The actual document will not be examined by officials of .Somerset House, nor will it be deposited in the vaults there. A reporter was informed at Somerset House: “A King’s will is a tiling apart. We have no jurisdiction whatever over it, and it is not subject to probate or death duties. Indeed, no Court has any right whatever to grant probate to a King’s will.”
