Gildersleeve. | A sitting 'of the non-jury assize court, opened at the court house, at {ten o'clock, on Thursday morning, be- fore Justice Middleton. Theee were [two cases on the docket. | "The first case was that in the last {will and testament of Lucretia Anna {Maria Gildersleeve, late of the city of | Kingston, spinster. Among her eof (fects were found certain securities to iamount to $1,500, and a paper mem- {oranda, expressing her wish that the Imoney go to establish a fund for the [poor of St. George's cathedral. Ae {companying this was a list of invest {inents of St. George's home. The will jdid not refer to such a fund, but the iresiduary legatees were willing that {the fund should be assigned to the {synod of Ontario to be administered, {in accordance with Miss Gildersleeve's {memoranda and to be called "The | Lucretia Gildersleeve Fund." 8. C. MeGill and J. B. Walkem, exe {cutors of the will, petitioned the court for advice and directions as to wheth- er the memoranda constituted a valid and legal declaration of trust for the establishment of a home for the poor of St. George's cathedral, and if so, {to whom said fund should be assign- {ed, or whether fund is not hound by | any said trust but is part of the res: duary estate of the said testatrix and to be administered accordingly. An order was made by the judge, di- irecting the fund to be held by the synod, in trust, for the poor of St. George's cathedral, for payment of their house rent, in accordance wit the directions of the agreement, signed by the heirs "J. B. Walkem, K.C., appeared on be half of the petitioners, and Francis King for the, synod. The other case was that of James Robertson vs. Annie MeOuet and Mary Nicol, The plaintifi's claim was for a de claration that the last will and testa: ment of John Robertson, deceased, da- ted March 26th, 1906, was invalid, for want-of-wbtafiiontary capacity, and for a declaration that the said John Robertson died intestate. Deceased was formerly postmaster at Hartington. Donald McIntyre appeared for the plaintiff, and J. L. Whiting? K.C., for the defence. vi Charles' R. Webster, barrister, King- ston, was the first' witness called. To [ Mr, McIntyre he said he knew the late | John Robertson from 1895 to the time of his death. He got acquainted with him when Mr. Robertson came to his office for legal advice. Robertson lived at Hartington, was the post matter, and also kept a small gro. eery. lobertson did an extensive business, and held chattel mortages and notes. Witness first mel Robert son on March lst, 1906. Robertson camé to see him for information re garding the penalty for a person found guilty of stealing a letter from the post office. Robertson acted in a very peculiar manner. On March 9th he again called to see the witness, and talked on the same sub- ject. On this occasion, he was still acting peculiar, much more so than at apy other time. On March 12th, Rolertson informed witness: that a letter had been stolen from the posi office, at Hartington, and that he { Robertson) had been aceused of steal ing the letfer. Witness was surprised not saspect him. [Witness endeavored to find out if there was any evidence against - Robertson, but could not find this out, as he did not press the matter, On March 14th, witness re ceived a lettor from Robertson, in which the old trouble about the lot- this lotter Rohertson thought that he would be placed on trial, and that he thousht the case would be heard at SBharbot lake. Robertson appeared to be fesl- inz his position very keonly. He had at first' thought of leaving Harting. ton, but decided this would not be the proper thing to. do. Robertson said he hated the idea of being ar- rested, On the day following the re ceipt of the letter, witness said Rob- ertson called him up by phone about the old trouble. : Witness then told of Robertson be- ing in the general hospital. On March 19th Robertson came to the home of the witness, just at daylight, dressed only with'his trousers and shirt. Ron- ertson said he was going to be ar- rested, and gave witness a bunch of papers, including mortgages and notes for safe keeping. Later on witness called ut the hospital and Robertson was under the impression that he had lost all his money and property. Witness ondeavored to comfort him, Salling him that he had everything The question of the will, which was drawn up by the witness, was then taken up By Mr. Mcintyre. "How did you come to make the will 7" the witness was asked. Witness said he did so because he Shewizht it would quiet the man's him, but » witness communicated with a lawyer ute, with the result that his too important to throw in the waste paper basket. 3 A copy of the will was peoduced and filed with the court. Matthias Clow, of Kingston, former- ly a resident of Hartington, told of knowing deceased, He was a well edu- cated man, and able to take care of his business. Witness was well ac | quainted with Robertson, and the lat-| ter had once told . him that he had trouble with his mind. About the year 1905, witness noticed that Robertson | acted somewhat queer, gnd that he) was not in his usual good health, | Robertson, as postmaster, received | letters of instructions from the post} office department, and these appeared to prey on his mind. Robertson told witness that he was to be arrested for giving a wrong parcel to the wrong person. The parcel was brought back, but was torn open and on this 'ac-| count Robertson thought he would have some trouble. While in the hos- pital, Robertson told the witness that he knew that he would be ruined. Rob- ertson mentioned something about a woman and letters. On one occasion; Robertson swore, and accused him, | his lawyer, and a woman of having | placed him in an asylum. On another occasion, Robertsop said he did * not remember having talked to witness, in the way mentioned. = Another time, Robertson told the witness that he did not remember anything which had| occurred fromy the time he left Hart-| ington until he was in the hospital, " After the evidence of the witness had been concluded the court adjourng, ed at one o'clock until two. !
