Probated Will of John Eccles. Alleging that there was a mutual ‘wgreement made between himself and his brother, the late John Eccles of this city, each to bequest to the oth- er by will his entire estate, except certain legacies, William Bowran Ec- cles of Preston, England, through his counsel, has filed in the Norwich pro- bate court his claim-to the estate of the late John Eccles. The late John Eccles disposed of L1s estate by will quite otherwise than according to the agreement, which his brother claims existed, and the broth- er was left only $2,500 out of the $450,000 estate. Eccles The claim of Wiliiam B. reads as follows: “William B. Eccles of Preston, in Lancanshire, England, exhibited and presented the following claim against the estate of John Fccles, late of Nor- wich, in the state of Connecticut, de- ceased: “William B. Eccles and John Eocles then in life, about, the year 1912, en- tered into the. following agreement one with the othen each agreelng by his last will and testament, for valu- able consideratfonS, the agreement of each being in comsideration of the agreement hy the other to make the following disposition of the property which he might ‘then have to the other, that is, said John Eccles agreed to make his last 'will and testament and thereby give, bequeath and con- vey to said Willlam B.

Eccles 'agreed, by his last will and testament, to give, devise and be- queath to said John Eccles all of the rest and residue of his estate after and subject to the provisions contain- ed in the provisions of the will here- to attached. The reason and consid- eration for the gift to said Martha Mason and said Fannie Dickinson of the amounts named herein was that the said John Eccles was under moral obligation to them in su¢h a way that said John Eccles did notwish to make any disposition of his: property in his. .said John's will, to them, said Mar. tha and Fannie. Said William B Eccles fully performed his part .of sald agreement by executing his last will and testament, a.copy of which is said copy hereto attached and which was at_the time of the. death of said Johm Eceles and now is, and will_remain the last will and testa- ment of said Willam B. Eccles. “Said John Eccles .died .on the 26th day of ‘March, 'A. D. 1814, -in said town of Norwicl leaving. estate. of the ' value of $480,000. The wife of said John Eccles deceased on Dec, 28, 1913, prior to the death of said John Eccles, Said John Eccles by his last will and testament gave.and be- queathed! to said Willlam B. Becles the sum of, $2,500 and no more, and by his last will and testament gave, devised and bequeathed all of the rest of his' property to other per- s0one, L s “Said_will. was admitted to probate on the 1ith day of April, 1914, by the probate court in and for the probate district’ of Norwich, in said state of Connecticut. “Said William B.
