The Death of Mr. Mordecai Moribund.
Show what duties were payable to the State as a direct consequence of the Tragedy.
Note.—The following epitaph, shamelessly copied from one in Malmesbury Abbey, was inscribed on Mr. Moribund's Tomb:—
In bloom of life
He's snatched from hence,
He had not room
To make defence;
For Tyger fierce
Took life away,
And here he lies
In bed of clay
Until the Resurrection Day.
PROBLEM No. 5.
It is a strange circumstance that little men with red hair usually have large families. At any rate Septimus Hawkins had red hair and twelve children, of whom eleven were living, but strangest of all he died intestate worth £122,600 subject to the payment of Estate Duty, and of which the Real property was valued at £36,000.
