Legancy of £199 19s a Day.
Irishman's Strange Bequest to his Daughter. One of the quaintest bequests on record is to be found in the will, just proved, of Mr Thomas Hayes, of Leopardstown Park, Stillorgan, Dublin. * Mr Hayes was a director of T. Lyons and Co., Limited, drapers, and left personal estate valued at £52,875 7s Id. By his will, which consists of about 100 folios of 9000 words, the testator left his estate in trust for such persons as his daughter, Gertrude Frances Talbot Power, wife Mr James Talbot Power, shall appoint. In default of such appoinment, or subject to such appointment, Mr Hayes directed that .“£199 19s should be paid to his said daughter on the first day after his death (should she so long survive him), £199 19s on the second day after his death, (should she so long survive him).” This phrase is repeated throughout the will» for each day until the 250th day after his death is reached. It is added that the sums thus paid are to be for Mrs Power’s own seperate use.
