[92] Mr. William Kensett, whose will was proved in Doctors’ Commons, London, in 1855, left his body to the Directors of the Imperial Gas Company, London, to be placed in one of their retorts, and consumed to ashes; if not, he directed it to be placed in the family grave in St. John’s Wood Cemetery, to assist in poisoning the neighborhood. Generally the curious wills are home-made, but this of Mr. Kensett was made by a solicitor.
