Some months ago au Otago family woke up one morning and found themselves possessed of something like £60,000 through the death of a female relative in Scotland. , The fortune was quite unexpected, as it was known that the deceased relative had intended to leave her immense wealth to a stranger. . It appeared, however, that she had quarrelled with her intended heir ss,had revoked her will, and dying intestate, had left her property to be divided among her relatives. The following extract from a Home paper has reference to the event: —ln the Second Division of the Court of Se-sion, at Edinburgh last week, an action was commenced, at the instance of Mrs. Charlotte Temple or Yeatman and her husband, for the reduction of a deed of revocation of a will made by Miss Macpherson Grant, of Aberlour, Banffshire, deceased, who inherited property from an uncle valued at from £200,000 to £300,000. She, taking a liking for Miss Temple, who was the daughter of 'the High Sheriff of Wiltshire, made her heiress, by a will, in 1873. Miss Temple married in 1876, and before the end of the year Miss Macpherson Grant executed the deed of revocation sought to be reduced. She died at the beginning of last year (1877). The object of the action was to prove that when the latter deed was signed. Miss Macpherson Grant’s intellect was affected through tippling, and also from the effect of a fire which occurred at Aberlour House in 1876, After the opening speech, the case was compromised by the pursuers agieei ig to accept £10,000.” Save yourselves. The time has * come when it behoves all sensible people who may be suffering the torturos of rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, lumbago, liver complaints, biliousness, &c., not to allow themselves to be trifled with, and the cure of their maladies delayed. All these complaints can be speedily and effectually removed by the use of tins© never-failing remedies, “ Gjuollah's Great Ind»an Cukes.” They can be had of all Chemists, and obtain from them the testimonials given by wellknown colonists who have been cured of longstanding disease/'—lAdvt.J .
