For God's Sake?When Ernest Digweed died in 1976, he left £26,000 in the care of the Public Trustee with the following instructions: "If during the next 80 years the Lord Jesus Christ shall come to reign on earth, then the Public Trustee, upon obtaining proof which shall satisfy him of His identity, shall pay to the Lord Jesus Christ all the property he holds on His behalf."
[If, by 2056, Christ has not appeared to claim his bequest, the whole amount will revert to the state.]
