Miss Julia Carole Skinner of Chelsea left the Probate Court - after having been told by Mr. Justice Stevenson that she had inherited the £90, 000 fortune of her father Major James Skinner. The latter had made two wills the second being a week before his death in April 1954 in which Miss Skinner was to receive £1, 000 a year for twenty one years - and then the whole income from the estate. The first was made in 1948 in which Mr. and Mrs. Kent of West Kensington were made joint guardians of Miss Skinner.
