Now, whether it was the Winkles or whether it was the pins, is a matter upon which the two London Specialists who were called in failed to agree, but the fact remains that within a very short time of devouring the aforementioned delicacies, the whole party became alarmingly ill, and two days later Mr. Tulip and Mrs. Hunter died.
Mr. Tulip's Estate, which consisted entirely of Personalty, was valued for Probate at £8,420, and Mrs. Hunter's Estate, which consisted entirely of Realty, was valued at £72,422.
What Legacy and Succession Duty was payable on behalf of Mrs. Tulip, and by Mr. Hunter?
PROBLEM No. 29.
The Rev. Stephen Collins delivered a very moving address on Total Abstinence at the Mothers' Meeting on the 14th June, 1913, and three weeks later Mr. Gunter died.
Now some of the parishioners were inclined to connect the two events, particularly as Mrs. Gunter happened to form one of the band of Mothers on that memorable occasion, and was known to have given her husband Toast and Water for Supper on the following evening.
