NEW ZEALANDER’S WILL.
EE3QUEBT FOR STSTHIANS’ POOR. FEW CASES OF POVERTY. LONDON, March 12. Inquiries in Mr James Trewin’s native Cornish village of Slithians, to which, according to a cablegram from Wellington, he left £13,000 in trust for the poor, show that there are few unemployed people or cases of real poverty there. There are many individuals with slender earnings, however.
The majority of the villagers are engaged in granite quarrying and agriculture. Mr Trewin’s sister, Miss Eliza Trewin, who is nearly 80 years old, still lives at Stithians. Her brother had a small shoemaker's business there nearly 50 years ago.
