Some details of the life of Sir

David Yule (described by counsel as one of the wealthieat men, if not the wealthiest man, in the British Empire) were revealed in the King'e Bench division, when Mr. Justice Rowlatt was called on to determine for revenue purposes the question of Sir David's domicile at the time of his death.

The Attorney-General contended that his domicile was England, while Mr. Wilfred Greene, K.C., for the family, argued that his domicile was India.

In The Workshop.

After Lady Yule in 1902 had re- fused to return to India, Sir David told her repeatedly that he would not give India up for anybody or anything. Sir David Yule visited her periodically at St. Alban's.
