LORD RHONDDA'S WILL.
LORD RHONDDA'S WILL. Personal Estate Value £ 685,000. The will, dated the 11th Novem- ber, 1916, of the late Viscount lihondda of Llanwern, will shortly be presented for probate. So far as can at present be ascertained, the gross value .of the personal estate in tne United Kingdom (excluding landed property) will be returned at £ 685,000. The late Viscount ap- pointed his wife (the present Dow- ager Viscountess Rhondda), his daughter (Viscountess Rhondda), and his son-in-law (Sir Humphrey Mackworth, Baronet), to be execu- tors and trustees of his will. He appointed his wife and daughter, and on the death of his wife, his daughter alone, to his share in the partnership of Thomas and Davey, and any other partnership in which he might be interested at his death. After bequeathing all his jewels, furniture, chattels, and effects at Llanwern and Ashley Gardens, to- gether with £ 5,000, to his wife, the testator bequeathed to his daughter all his books, papers, memoranda and manuscripts, with full discretion as to the use she should make of them. The Perry Herrick Landed Estate at Llanwern is left to his daughter absolutely. The rest of the Llan- wern Estate, including Llanwern House, is left to the Dowager Lady Rhondda for her life, and after- wards to the Viscountess Rhondda and her husband, Sir Humphrey Mackworth, during their respective lives, and finally as the Viscountess Rhondda shall appoint. The testator bequeathed L2,000 to his god-daughter, iftrs. Florence Madeline Pryse, £ 5,000 to pay the income to the unmarried daughters of the late Rev. Charles T. Salus- bury; an annuity to Mr Hugh Owen Hughes, his late secretary; £ 20,000 to Gonville and Cuius College, Cam- bridge; S20,000 to King Edward VII. Hospital at Cardiff. The late Viscount left his wife an income of £ 100,000 during her life, and on her death the capital to be held for such person or persons as the Dowager Viscountess might ap- point. A similar sum of £ 100,000 was left to his 'daughter on similar trusts. The residuary legatee is the testa- tor's daughter absolutely, subject to payment of one half of the income to the Dowager Viscountess Rhon- dda during her life. Full power is given to the trustees to retain the deceased's Viscount's interests in colliery and shipping companies and other trading con- cerns. The will concludes with a state- ment that the late Viscount made no other charitable bequests as he had devoted the greater part of his life to public affairs, and had already given large sums of money for char- itable and public purposes.

I-.---< A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.
I < A TRIPLE TRAGEDY. Deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Harliss, Abernant, and Mrs. Harliss, senr. Considerable sensation was caused in Abernant and other circles where the parties were well known, by the sudden and tragic deaths of Mr and Mrs. W. L. Harhss, Icanhoe, Aber- nant Road. Mr. Harliss had been employed as chief mechanical engin- eer under the P.D. Co. for about 12 years. He was taken ill last September, while visiting his par- ents in Boston, Lincolnshire. He suffered from an internal maladv; but was recovering from this and was about to return to Aberdare when he contracted influenza, which developed into pneumonia. Mrs. Harliss had in the meantime joined him, and a day or two after his death she contracted pneumonia. She "was unconscious on the day of her husband's funeral, and passed away either on that day or the day following, death being due mainly to nervous prostration consequent upon her husband's death. This was about a f^rtn'ght or 3 weeké" ago. The tragwjv does not end there, for this week news was re- ceived by friends in Aberdare of the death of M. s. Harliss, senior, which occurred on Saturday, Dec- 21 St. Out n; the family of fiye only two remain, viz., Mr. Harlis*. senior, and Geo^re^, the 5 year old little t)ov of Mr and Mrs W. L. Harliss, who is now with his ma- ternal grandparents in Rugby. At the funerals of Mr and Mrs HarUss* several wreaths were received lroni the mechanical staffs of the local P.D. Collieries, and from Mr and Mrs. F. W. Caunt, friends.
