RETURN TO SCOTLAND. Before May 2009 [1]

(1910). Cousin's Will. MR. NEIL BLACK'S WILL. [2] There was filed at the Probate office on Saturday the will of Neil Walter Black, late of Noorat; Testator, who was supposed to have died on 27th July, 1909, was one of the passengers on the ill-fated Waratah: The will is dated 8th May, 1909, and by it testator leaves real estate valued at £190,162, and personal estate valued at £41,805. There is bequeathed to the Presbyterian Church of Victoria, £750; to the Theological Hall fund of the same church; £5000; to the Home Mission fund of the church, £1000; to the Foreign Mission fund, £1000; to the Melbourne Hospital, £1000; and to the Melbourne University, to be applied in such manner as the science faculty shall direct, £2000. Testator gives to his cousin; Annie Marion Leadbeater, £6000, and to her sister, Margaret Jane Leadbeater, £1000. To each child of his cousin, Archibald Syme Black, of the Isle of Bute, Scotland, £500 is left, and a like sum is given to each child of his cousin, Peter Laurie Black, of [Taranaki,] New Zealand. The sum of £1000 each is bequeathed to his cousins, Jessie Hutton and Maud Hutton; and his housekeeper, Margaret Campbell, receives £l per week for life, in recognition of her faithful services to testator's mother. The residue of the estate is to be equally divided between his brothers, Archibald John Black and Stewart Gladstone Black, who are appointed his executors and trustees.

(1911). Cousin's Will. MR NEIL BLACK'S WILL. INTEREST ON LEGACIES. A matter arising out of the will of the late Mr Neil Walter Black, of Noorat, landed proprietor, came before Mr Justice A'Beckett in the Practice Court on Monday on originating summons. The executors of the will, the testator's brothers -- Archibald John Black and Stewart Gladstone Black -- were the plaintiffs, and the defendants were a number of beneficiaries representing public institutions and relatives of the testator. Mr Schutt said that the testator possessed a very large estate, amounting to nearly £200,000. He was a passenger by the Waratah, and was presumed to have died on July 27, 1909, probate to his will having been granted on September 24, 1910, on that presumption. By his will Mr Black had left a number of legacies to institutions and persons amounting to over £20,000, and the question now to be determined was the interest to be paid on these legacies. All the beneficiaries interested agreed to accept interest at the rate of 4 per cent from the date of the grant of probate, with the exception of Mr Hayes, who appeared for the two children of Archibald Syme Black. They were left £500 each. As they were in necesstous circumstances and the testator knew it, Mr Hayes argued, they should receive interest at the full rate allowed by the court, namely, 8 per cent. Mr Justice A'Beckett said the parties should consider whether they would not deal with the matter amongst themselves. If not he was not going to give judgment offhand on such an important question. If the rule as to allowing 8 per cent applied to the case he did not see why he should depart from the rule. He would refer the matter to the Full Court.
