A PHILANTHROPIST'S BEQUESTS.
Windfall for Hospital Fund.
(Received 8.52 a.m.)
LONDON, November 7
The late Mr. George Herring's estate amounts to about f 1.500,000. Numerous bequests are made to relatives, friends, and servants. A sum of £60,000 is left to the Salvation Army, and the residue of the estate goes to the King's Hospital Fund.
[Without knowing the extent of Mr. Herring's bequests to private individuals, it is impossible to say what the residue will amount to, but it is reasonable to suppose that it constitutes a very large portion of the total estate. King Edward's Hospital Fund for London, started in 1897, when the King was Prince of Wales, has so far rec-ived in donations and legacies a sum of nearly £1,250,000, out of which 443 free beds had been endowed up to the close of last year, £513,326 had been awarded in grants to hospitals, and £064,000 had b.-en invested.]
