Will case.
--The will of Alex. B. Barrett a wealthy Kentuckian, proved first in Richmond two years ago, has now been proved in London, on account of property valued at $500,000 in England. The Londoners express considerable surprise at the peculiar ‘"Americanisms"’ in the will — such as instructions how to use the property. He leaves $100,000 and a ‘"liberal annuity"’ to his widow, for a residence in Ireland; his Virginia estates to his son by a former wife; and his Kentucky estates to his daughter, also by a former wife; and to both of them the summer residence on States Island, as a pleasure retreat. He requests that his daughter be protected from ‘"the fortune-hunting crew."’
