The hearing of the claims brought by members of the Hardoon family seeking to set aside the will by which the whole vast estate of the Jewish multi-millionaire goes to the widow, was concluded here to-day after Mr. Horace Samuel, who is appearing for two of the claimants, had spoken for eleven hours, contending that Mr. Hardoon had continued all his life to be an Iraq citizen, and demanding that the case should therefore be tried by Iraq law, which would revoke the will. Judgment in the case has been reserved.
