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.

School teachers. In the afternoon the children's service was held on Walker Brow,

drawback being the wind, which was rather too strong, and made the singing and
hearing rather difficult. The Rev. F. RICHARDSON gave an address.
