_Curious Bequest._--In the parish of Eardisland in Herefordshire, I am
informed that some charitable person, whose name I could not ascertain,
left to certain poor persons, parishioners, the following singular
bequest, viz., to each poor person--
13 bushels of wheat
13 red herrings
13 tennis balls
13 pepper corns
13 pence.
This was to be distributed on Maunday Thursday. Can any of your
correspondents throw light upon this, or mention similar instances of
such singular bequests?
