A Clergyman’s singular will
The Rev Charles Henry Thomas Wyer DAW. M.A, Vicar of Stapleford, Cambridge, formerly Rector of Otterham, Cornwall who died on Oct 21st last, has bequeathed to his son all his mineral stores, tools, drawings and pamphlets written by himself and others about mechanics or mechanism absolutely, and the living at Otterham and the estate at Kernick, subject to an annual charge in favour of his daughter.

The following certificate is attached to his will.
“We Joseph GRIFFITHS and John GAY, duly qualified surgeons, and who are not in business partnership, certify that we have severed the right leg above the knee on the corpse, shown us as that of the late, Charles Henry Thomas Wyer DAW, and which we believe so to be – [signed] Joseph GRIFFITHS. M.R.C.S, England, John GAY. M.R.C.S, England, L.R.C.P, October 25th 1898.”
The will continues:-
“I will that 3gs be paid to each surgeon, but they may take the severed limb at 3gs, part payment if they choose, the corpse will then pack in an ordinary coffin, with or without the severed limb. I will that if the severing of the right leg be omitted, and not certified by two surgeons, the whole of this will, be cancelled, and of no effect, except the provision for my daughter.”

Flintshire claimants to the TYSON Millions.
It appears there are claimants in Flintshire to the millions left by the late James TYSON the Australian millionaire. The claimants reside in the neighbourhood of Northop Hall, near Harwarden, and consist of two branches of the family, descended from TYSON who came from Ireland in the last century with the proprietors of the Irish Colliery, and who gave Irish names to the locality, such as “Dublin,” “Little Dublin,” and “Vinegar Hill.” etc. Mrs TYSON had two sons viz, Thomas, who was an under gardener at Hawarden Castle, and another who became the head of another branch of the family in the neighbourhood.
Thomas TYSON had five children, James, Thomas, Peter, Mary and Grace Thomas died without issue, but Peter had several children, one of them Peter TYSON Snr - now residing at Fern Bank, Northop Hall.
Mary married an Edward WILLIAMS of Ewloe Wood, and had a family of whom one was Edward WILLIAMS now residing at Well House, Pentremoch, who in 1893 and 1894 spent some time searching the family pedigree, and wrote to James TYSON claiming to be a relative through his grandmother, who was an aunt of James TYSON.
Grace TYSON married a man named LEADMAN of Altringham Castle and died without issue.
James TYSON who is buried in Eccleston churchyard, had two sons. He had a shoe shop in Chester. His son Thomas went to Exeter, and died there, and James the second son went to Australia 47 yrs ago, and became a wealthy glazier. From this account it would appear Peter TYSON Snr, above referred to, is a cousin of the late millionaire

In the Probate Court before Mr Justice Bargrave DEANE an application was made with reference to the will of Benjamin WALKER of Chambers Rd, Southport who died on Nov 10th 1906, leaving an estate of £58,000, Mr BAYFOR, the counsel in the case of the executors, said the deceased will was a holograph will, dated, Sept 18th 1906, and it contained certain alterations and interlineations. Mr MIDDLETON who appeared for certain charities which he said were residuary legaties, opposed the application. His Lordship said he could not deal with the matter on the motion it was useless , unless all the parties consented. It must be the subject of an action.
