DIVISION OF AN  ESTATE.

    At the Wigton County Court on Monday,  Mr. T. RIGG, solicitor, applied to
his Honour Judge STEAVENSON for an order for  the division of the sum of £40
10s 8d being part of the estate of James MOORE,  butcher, Whitehaven.

    Advertisements had been inserted in  various papers with the object of
discvovering the whereabouts of George and  Hoseph TWEDDIE, who as nephews of
the said James MOORE were entitled to the sum  before mentioned. No response had been made to these advertisements, and on the  production of the registrar's
certificate.

    His Honour ordered that the share of £42  10s be equally divided between
the 17 nephews and nieces of the late James  MOORE.

    Mr. H. N. TWENTYMAN, who represented  several of the relatives, asked His
Honour if respondent's costs would be  included.

    His Honour: I think you are entitled to your costs.


  The school anniversary was held on Sunday. The Rev. F.  RICHARDSON preached
an excellent sermon on the morning on the duty and the  calling of Sunday
School teachers. In the afternoon the children's service was  held on Walker Brow,
kindly lent by Mr. MITCHELL, farmer. The event was a  success, the only
drawback being the wind, which was rather too strong, and made  the singing and
hearing rather difficult. The Rev. F. RICHARDSON gave an  address.

    The evening service was again a  children's service. Mr. CLAGUE,
evangelist, presided. Recitations and dialogues  were given by the children. Miss
FERGUSON, of Workington presided.   Recitations were given by:

Jessie HARRIS

Ellen THOMAS

Annie CORKISH

WESLEYAN CHURCH

    The anniversary services of the Sunday  School asscoiated with this
church were commenced on Sunday afternoon, when  there was only a moderate
attendance. The scholars occupied a raised platform  and were prettily attired.

    Mr. Hnery KIRKBY of Cleator Moor, gave a  short and interesting address
on Sunday School and the work the children could  do. Special hymns were sung

    At the following evening service was  crowded. An excellent sermon was

    The choir also rendered two capital  anthems, and their singing reflected

each succeeding anniversary better than it's  predecessor.
