SUPREME COURT. — Civil Sessions.

THIS DAY.

(Before Ilia Honor Mr JustUo Ward and n Jury of 12.) Tho Contested Will Cuso.

William J. Suitku (oxocutor of tlio will of Susannah Harriott Fullor, deceased) v. Mra Susannah Harriett Harrison and Mrs Lowe (daughters of tho deceased) for pro-

bate under tho will of the deceased. Mr

K. Laisbley (by appjintincnt of the Court) appeared for Charles Fuller (an infant), Mr Thoinsa Cotter (instructed by IVir Cave) for tho plaintifi V W. J. Suitor), and Mr O'Mcagher (instructed by Jlr Cuvo) tor Mi and Mm Charles White (parties intaresied under tho will), while Mo3tra C. E. Batton and Tbco. Cooper appeared for the do fendauts (Mrs Harrison and Mrs Lowe) Mr LnUhloy intimated to tho jaelgo big doiire to mention a oircunisianoo before tho caao waj heard. Ho obtained an ordor on the 24th of January lost, in consequence of which ho looked into tho circumstances of tho caso. He found that there wcro two willa, ono of which had been made on the 4th Saptembor last, and tho other on the 14th September, and ho came to the conclusion thut tho will of the 14th September should bo supported. Accordingly ha reloaded and eorved'on the other panics interested a copy of his pleadings. ./ifter that ha had been in formed tho defendants' solicitors ob tained a writton statement from hia cliont (an infant), who was virtually a ward of the Court, which statement ho understood was jit variance with the pleadings ho had put in. It did not bocomo him to comment on tho circumstances, but ho had felt it to bo hie duty to mention them to tho Court. His Honor inquired if thoro was any reason why Mr Lai&hley's cliont should »oi> bo troafed as other witueaees woro. Mr Button : Ho ia belweon 16 and 17 ynars of age. His Honor romarkod that although the ilofondant Fuller was technically a ward of Ui9 Court, yot as'ho was between 16 and 17 yeora of ago ho waaa'lo to act for hiinsolf. Mr Laishlcy : I huvo HOOD him einco, mid ho endorses tho defonco. and I have made (liia statemont so that tho varianco con tained in hia written statornont may not boar another construction. Tho 12 jurors woro then chosen and sworn and Mr Compton elected foreman. Mr Cottor, in opening tho caso to the jury, informed them that they would not bo recjuirod to assess any damages. Although certain valuations would bo placed boforo them, and their attention called to the valuations of certain proportics, yot tho only issues to bo placed boforo them for thoir verdict were two. Ono was whether the will of Mrs Susannah Harrott Fuller, which would bo laid before thorn, was tho last will and testament of the testatrix—whether tho understood when executing it that ebe was executing her last will and testament, and whether it purported to bo ex ecuted as tho law required a will to be executed. The other point was whether thia will—in which term he included a codicil—was executed under tho un due influence of Mr and Mrs Whito, who had been made defendants in this action. The loarnod gentleman then pro ceeded to read the pleading?. He then pasßed on to explain the facts of the case. Mr Suiter, he said, eimply appeared as the executor mentioned in tho will of the 14th Sopte-mber last. So far as ho was con corned, he was not personally interested in the matter. So far m Mrs Harrison and Mrs Lowe were concerned, they occu pied the position of daughtorsof the testatrix, and not only as boing beneficiiires undor the will of the 14th September, but also as being boneliciaires under the will made ton days prior to this ono. Under that prior will no doubt both ladies would receivo groator bonsfit than ia tho later ouo, and that waa tho reason for contesting this pio- EOiit will. Mrs Whito was another daughter of tho testatrix, and «ho ap proved of this lator will, and wished probuto of it to bo granted. The. in fant Charles Fuller was a eon of the deceased, and by hi? guardian (Mr JLaishley) ho also a-l;cd for probate to bo granted of tho will of tho 14th Soptembor. These four children wcro all benelitad more or Ices by both wills. Thoro was ono other mem lior of Mrs Fuller's family to be accounted for, viz , her oldest son, Henry Colin Fuller, but he was not a parly to this action, and thio was explained by the fact that undor both willa ho got tho same benefit and legacy of £100. If both wills, however, woro upset, and tho estate declared intes tate, then tho eldest eon would bo entitled to one-fifth share of tho estata of tho de ceased

Mr Button : But there ia another will prior to that of the 4th Septembor. Mr Cottar said that ho might re tort that there was a fourth will which was prior to tho other throo. Tho reason why Honry Colin Fuller got only a legacy of £100 was that during his mothor's life ho had received more than hi« share of her property. Tho lato Mrs Fuller came to Whangarti some consider able timo ngo, and for eomo years tho was houeekoupor to Mr Thompson, who ivas then owner of tho Bottlers' Hotel. After ho gave up businers Mrs Fullor took a loftse of ir, aud subsequently be came tlie purchaser of ie for £2,000, paying £1,500, and leaving Jtl.tOO on mortgage at 10 psr cent. Hhe did exceedingly well in the hotel. Under hor h'ret will Mr Thompson was executor, but she afterwards made another, for the reason that it was undc-sirable to have hor mort gageoas executor also. Mrs Fuller went to England along with Mis White, and it was there that aho made her first will; it waa on retnrning to Auckland that the made n second will. Soon afterwards the removed altogether to Auckland, and on tha 17th August last she went to live in the bouse of hor son in-law, Mr White, in Poosonby. She came to Auckland for medical advice, inasmuch as she wa3 Buffering from cancer of the womb. It waa in Ponsonby, (luring September, that both the third and fourth wills were made—that of the 4th September being prepared by Messrs Thorno and Kigby, and that of 14th Septembor by Mr Cave. Mra Fuller had acquired consider able property, and in making her wills sho was in full possession of hor mental facul ties, despite the allegations of the defend ants to the contrary. Mr Cotter concluded by explaining the evidence he intonded to adduce.

Cbarle3 White Cave, solicitor, was then called. He deposed that bo knew Mr Edward Lowis. He letneinbered that gentleman calling upon him at his office about tho end of August or beginning of September last. He went with him to the houso of Mr White ID Uowo-strcet, I'oasouby, when ho saw Mra Fuller. Previously to tbab be had not hail tho slightott acquaintance with either Mrs Fuller or Mr and Mrs White. He saw the former lady botween 2 and 3 o'clock p.m. in bed, uud apparouts'y nob suffering, although he understood i-ho was ailiof; with cancer. Ho entered tho bed room nlong with Mr Lewis, and tho inter view lusted about two hours. No one else bat the throo of thorn was present. Mrs White might have entered towards the closo to give tho patient her medicine. Mrs Fuller explained to him that eha waa about to make hor will, that she had mado previous wills, but that she had wiehed to make various alterations in her bequests. She took a memo, from a handbag beside hor, and eaid sbo had written down on it the way in which sho wished to dis pose of hc-r property. Ho waa not Euro whether ho rtad it through, but verbally he toak down on a ehcot of foolscap her instruc tions, without referenco .to tho written memo. [Instructions producod.] She was particularly clear in mind, and showed, to his mind, that she was a particularly clear headed woman,and knew all abouther affuirs She told him that ho could get particulars from Hughes and George, as r. few months previously they had prepared a marriage settlement in view of a proposed marriage betweon horeolf and aMr Siesons. Wnon ie was proposed to road over tho instruc tions to tho jut, Mr Button objected. In answer to Mr Button, the witnoss ad mitted that ho had not taken down the iu btrucliona verbatim, but merely tho eitect of them. . j His Honor remarked that this lessened tho value of the instructions as showing the testatrix's state of mind. Mr Cotter requested His Honor to take a note of the fact that he had tendored tnis evidence. ir , „ Examination continued: He read over tho instructions to Mra Fuller for her ap proval. Tho memo, of instructions which he received from Mrs Fuller was as follows.. "This ia how I want my will made out :- My eldest son, Henry Colin Fuller, to re ceive £100 ;my eldest daughter, Susannah Harriett Harrison, Cook and Culpan s shop, and half proceeds of bill of sale ;my daughter Eliza Albina Lowe, Cook ana Shnpian's shop, ar.d half the proceeds of bill of sale. To my youngest daughter, JaneyLeah White, and my youngest ton, Charley Fuller, I loave the following pro perty to be equally divided between ther£, viz,: The Settlera1 Hotel and Mr Scott's shop and cottage at back oi hotel; also ground opposite h*£ Clendon's. My daughter, Janey t«f-»» «

the division to retain tho hotel b payin X Charley whatever aum woul make division fair between tho tw children, Janey and Charley." Mi Fuller seemed inclined to leave h« eldest son out of tho will altogether, s-.yin that the had advanced him large sums c money already, and got him out of man earapes. Ultimately sho decided to loav him tIOO Of Mrs Harrison and Mrs Low she eaid that she had made various advance to their husbands. She had helped M Harrison to get the Kamo Hote and mado advances, which were only parti ally secured. To Mr Lowe also sheeai< sno had made advances, and Loire abou that time vvaa a bankrupt. She expreesec her mind clearly that neither of these hua bands should :eceive iu.y of her property but that sho would tie up tightly ti thoir wives whatever she loft them. Shi considered that " Cisay" (i\fcrg Harrison was ontitled to more than Mrs Lowe as "Cissy" had helped bor to earn the money, aud had lived with hor longer. Be fore he loft her he promised lo prepare th~( draft, take it up and go through it with hei when it was ready. In about a weel or ton days ho had it ready, and on the 11th September he and Mr Lewis went tc Anglesea-stroet, Poneonby, whither Mr and Mrs White and Mrs Fuller had re moved. They saw Mrs Fuller in her bed room, no one else being present. Mi Lewis read a fair copy of the rough draft, and witness followed him on the rough draft. Tho draft was read clause by clause. Mrs Fuller was asked whether she under stood the effect of them. Some of them sho diecueeod, and suggested one or two alterations. The name of Mr Storoy was added as executor to those of Messrs Brown and Suitor, and Henry Colin Fullor Was excluded from participation in tho residue of tho oetato. The interview lasted thrco hour? at loast, and Mr Lewis was pro sont the whole of tho time. Mr White on tored tho room once to hand Mra Fuller a tin box containino; her papers. If anything, Mrs Fullor was clearer in mind on this oc casion than sho was an iho first occasion. After that ho had the dcod ongrossod, and on tho 14th Soptombor he wont up with tho will (produced), accompanied by Mr Lowis and Mr Williams («itnesa'a managing clerk) and road it over to Mrs Fullor. Whon it had beon road Mrs Fullor ox plained tlmt sho had mado ft codi cil (prepared by Mr Aloxandor) giving hor jowellery and family portraits to Mrs White, and having pointed out that if kept separate the will would amount to n revocation of tho codicil, ho ndded tho Utter to the will at her request. Mrs Fullor then eignod tlio will in prceonco of himsolf, Mr Lowis and Mr Williams. She also wrote her name opposite tho interline ations. Tho attesting signatures wero at tho same time added, Airs Fuller having requested Mr Wil liams and himself to act ns witrostCß. Tho interview lasted about an hour, and sho was quite as competent as boforo. Thoro wa3 nothiug to raise oven a suspicion as to hor competency of mind. He took the will ft .vay with him, aud it had remained in his possession until to day. Ho had not had the least conversation with Mr and Mrs White during Mrs Fuller's life as to the cotvtents of tho will. Mrs Fuller promisod, at Mr Lewis's suggestion, that sho would not during her lifetime mention to hor relatives how the had disposed of her property. Ho did not 893 Mrs Fuller again until tho 3rd of November, on which day he saw her alone at the house in Anglo sea-street. She told him Mra Lowe was anxious to havo the two sections of land near Mr Clondon'e, which she had pur chased from Mr Thompson, and that tlio had promised to give them to Mrs Lovvo, She accordingly instructed him to pro pare a codicil to that effect. aho also had a conversation with him ro the bill of eale over HarrLjonV Hotel, at Kamo, and in the cou.se of it si c told him sho had taken steps to reali.-o, and aa considering how to deal with the pro edd. Sho contemplated disposing of them n a difl'dront way from hor original inten tion, but had not quite made up hor iniud. Ho saw her again on the 9th November, when ehe told him eho was satisfied tin sale would not realise tho amount that Har rison owed hor. Sho bad dotormined, therefore, to revoke the bequest of tho bill of sale to Mrs Lowo and Mrs Harrison, and the proceeds of the bill of salo to ba applied to the reduction of tho mortgage on tho Settlors' Hotel, Mrs Harrison and surs Lowo being compensated for tho alteration by the former recoiving £200 and Iho latter getting the two allotments sho wished for. She also wished an adopted child-a grandchild—to ho given into Mrs Harrison's caro. Mrs Fuller was then quito as closr in mind as before, although weaker in body. Sho requested ■him to act us solicitor for tho estate It was by her solo instructions that he pre pared this codicil (produced), and on tho 13th of Novombor it was read over, signod, and witnessod. Mrs Fuller know porfoctly well what sho was doing. (Left fitting).

THE SEAMEN'S STRIKE.

CoNCEUN'i-N'i: this ovent thoro appears to bj "much ado about nothing," and tho point upon which tho Union and tho .Northern Company is at variance soem? to turn upon no fixed rule held by tho Union, but merely opon what baa been customary, and, what has not. The Northern" Company's steamera havo in structions to keop oae of the crew on board whilst vessels are in port, but a3 Bouia of the single men Bleep on board, it has not been nucessury to strictly enforce a syetem of rotaticn. Cap tain Johnson, master ul the Glonelg, states that when he arrived from Waiwera on Saturday the weather threatened to bu stormy, and he asked one of the crow to stay on board. He did not require the mau to keop watch, but merely to remain on the _ vessel. The seaman refused and two of his com panions followed suit,. They were civen till Monday to think tho matter over, and thou, as they were still obstinate they were diechargod. According to Captain Jobneon, the secretary of the Union then took up tho seamen'a case, and insisted that he had no right to keep tho mon on board after 5 o'clock whon the vessel was in port. Captain Johnson got three non-Union men, and the Glonelg was about to leavo for Whangarei, when Mr Ellison came on board and eaid, " Lot's sottio this affair now," and offered to provide him with a Union crew, but tbia ho declined owing to having engaged other mau in their stead. About this time one of tho discharged eeamen began to uso lan guage to which Captain Johnson took ob joction, aud tho skipper ordered him off tho voesbl. Thereupon it ia asserted that tho man struck Caplaiu Johnson down on tho dock, and afterwards gave him another blow that put his little, finger out of joint. The eoainan was then put on shore und the Glenclg proceeded on hor voyuo-e. She returned from Whangarei at 7 30 tui* moruiug, and shortly after arrival the three nou Union men left the steamer, because, it is fiaid, "It wan not to thoir interests to work against tho Seamen's Union." No other msn have yot boon taken on in her places, because the Glenelg doea not leave port to night, and otherwise no disturbance na3 taken place on board. Up to a late hour this afternooa nothing uew had tran spired, and the Secretary of the Union had decided to take no further action pending advice being received by telegraph from bead quarters at Fort Chalmers. Hia contention ia that Captain Johnson acted arbitrarily in endeavouring to compel his men to remain on board whilst ha did nob in return make ft concefaion by giving the men thus occupied a "day off" in exchange. The Secretary of the Seamen's Union has also asked thoNortbern Steamship Company to place Union mon on the e.s. Douglas running betwoen this port and Tauranga, Opotiki, etc. The Korlhern Company intend to despatch tho IJouglas to-night without making any alteration in her crew. They contend that she was exempted by the Union some time back as being a nvor Lat" and therefore did not eomo immediately under their rules. The con tention of the Socrotary of the Onion, however, v that tho Douglas is now running to and from Auckland instead of merely between some of the mailer Baft Coast ports, and that conse quently she comes under the Union regula tions. ________
