A Peculiar Will.
(Per Press Association.) Sydney, February 28. A peculiar will case is being heard in the Probate Court. In 1871 William Beaton Campbell separated from his wife. For the twenty-two years between then and bis death he never saw her, and no communication passed between them. In 1892 he held the ticket in Tatternall's Consultation for Glenloth, and won iS9OOO. He then made a will making all tbe money over to his wife. Subsequently he went to Tasmania, and stayed with a brother Scot, named John Allen, at Launceston. Whilst there he was taken ill, and made another will, leaving all the money to Allen and his children. An action is now brought by the Perpetual Trustees Company, acting for the widow, to overthrow this last Will on the ground of undue influence.
