Will of Robert Bramleigh and a housekeeper’s scheme
In a London solicitor’s office a will is read for Robert Bramleigh of 559 Coleman Street. The old man names housekeeper Hannah Churton as heiress, but the story reveals manipulation, a daughter Magdalen Maitland, and a court contest led by Lt. Maitland. The tale ends with a revised will granting Magdalen the estate and transferring trust duties to doctors.
