GREAT TOMB NOT TO BE BUILT
WAS TO HAVE COST £32,100
DIRECTION QUASHED
SYDNEY
A Sydney merchant’s direction in his will for the erection of an elaborate £32,100 tomb in the Blue Mountains was quashed by Mr. Justice Hardie in the Equity Court today.
Mr. Foy, who died last year, aged 86, directed in his will that the tomb be erected on land he owned at Medlow Bath in the Blue Mountains.
He directed that the vault be built in a rock cliff with provisions for six coffins, that the floor be slabbed with thick billiard table slates and that the tomb be surrounded by an eleven foot wall with a strong iron barbed gate for the entrance.
The will also directed that an acre of land surrounding the tomb be fenced with two barbed wire fences inside the other, eleven feet apart to keep out tres
