Lady Rosamond is plaintiff in ttin notion concerning the £300,000 estate of the late Mr. Augustus Langham Christe, of Eaton square, W, and Tapsley Park, Inslow, North Devon.

When the hearing was adjourned Sir Patrick Hastings had not con- eluded his cross-examination of the plaintif who had been in the wit- ness-box for seven hours.

The question at issue is whether Mr. Christie was sane in 1025 when he executed a will which is being supported by Col. Gerald Baildon: Corton, a Barnstaple solicitor, in bis position as executor, Mr. Otho Nicholson, M.P., the residuary logaire under the will, in cited ng

An earlier will of 1001 was in favour of Lady Rosamond Christie,

She arranged to have an office in the servanta quarters, no that her husband, should not know of her interviews arith the ageht of the estate. Once, however, ME Christie found her there and picked up a chair nå if to knock her down; She rushed out of the room..

Mr. Christie "loved signing cho- ques," and she made arrangements at the bank for him to be supplied with a cheque book. He drew chie ques and she substituted proper ones for them

Lady Rosamond, who had been sitting during the latter part of her examination, rose as if to leave the witnesa-box when Mr. Bevan concluded.

Lady Rosamund: Yes, I know, I expoet it will be unpleasant, but I must tell the truth, that's all.
