£40,000 to
"Big
Brothers"
SYDNEY, Thurs.: An 84 year-old bachelor, a Boer War veteran, left a picture, "The Suicide," to a friend and almost £40,000 to the Big Brother Movement.
He was Thomas Gunning, of Mosman, who died on October 12. Probate of his will was granted in the Supreme Court today.
Mr. Gunning lived most of his life in New South Wales, but worked for some time as a sporting journalist in Melbourne. He left another friend £150, and a third a quantity of jewellery. He asked that his body be cremated and the ashes taken in a surf boat and scattered into the ocean beyond the surf at Manly.
