Assisting Migrants From Warwickshire
ENGISHMAN’S GIFT DECLARED INVALID Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Last Night. New Zealanders who hoped to benefit from the trust fund of £11.968 created by William Stoney, of Birmingham, will be disappointed, as the English Courts have declared the gift to be invalid. The following cablegram from London appeared in New Zealand newspapers in April last year: “William Stoney, who died on January 14, loft £1.1,965, the whole of which he bequeathed to the Public Trustee of .New Zealand to assist poor migrants from
Warwickshire and surrounding counties at the trustee’s discretion.” Following this, a Court in England ruled the gift was not valid and the will, therefore, had no effect, the conditions making it impossible to give effect to the gift.
