We make no apology for engaging in the business set forth on our title-page, but wish briefly to outline the policy pursued and to be pursued. But for the abuse by adventurers and swindlers of a business in itself as legitimate as that of the lawyer, the banker, or the broker, we would not consider even this explanation necessary. We may never be able to rid the business of its present odium, but we do pledge ourselves to do all in our power to that end, and shall never shrink from the task of publicly exposing frauds by which over-sanguine claimants are swindled out of their money, whenever such cases are brought to our notice. We shall endeavor to raise no false hopes, but when convinced that a claim is hopeless, will, as far as possible, prevent such claimant from expending money on it. We have, and can always have, plenty of legitimate business, and want nothing to do with imagined estates or visionary claimants. So much has been said and done respecting large estates supposed to exist in the old country, that it becomes our duty, right in the outset to say that which may have the efiect of dispelling many a blissful dream; but the dreamer may have his reward, if he will, by the saving of his money. We do not dispute the fact that large sums of money do exist in almost every European country awaiting rightful claimants, many of whom are residents of America; but, although in the aggregate they amount to millions, yet they consist for the most part of a multitude of small estates. Those amounting to millions, or hundreds of millions, are very "few and far between." There is a tradition in a vast number, we might say in most of the old families, that they are entitled to a large estate in England, France, Germany, or some other European country; and as such traditions descend from father to son, the expected value always increases till it often reaches a sum too large for a common mind to grasp. Numerous associations have at difierent times been formed for the purpose of prosecuting these fictitious claims. One or two ingenious persons proceed to set the ball rolling by sensational articles in the newspapers, or by circulars, calling all persons of a certain name to apply to them respecting a large derelict estate in 4 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. the Old World. The statements are made with circumstantial details, having every appearance of truth, and, although seemingly harmless, are often the cause of great disappointment, trouble and expense. A list of names of the expectant heirs is prepared, a lib- eral estimate of expenses is formed for a trip to the old country, and the amount required is divided pro rata amongst all the claimants, who are then called upon to contribute their respective shares. It is understood in such case that they will be entitled to participate in the estate in proportion to the money subscribed, and so we get a joint-stock company. The scrip of such an adventure has been known to sell as high as two per cent of the supposed value of the estate. It requires but one or two to lead the way, and, like a flock of sheep, they all follow blindly, regardless of the most patent facts. Many cannot trace their pedigrees a generation back. They do not even know who has left the fortune sought to be recovered. A simple and vague statement that one "Hyde," "Lawrence," "»Tennings," or others died in England a century ago suffices. Such trifles as a Will or the Statute of Limitations do not trouble them. The sup- position that a person of their surname was at one time possessed of wealth is sufficient to create all these subscribers to fortune " heirs to vast estates." They are unaware how little the mere similarity of name is worth in genealogical researches. Once possessed of the idea, it becomes their pet child, and their fancies range over a vast domain of possibilities which may place them in affluence. The demon of speculation becomes as strong in them as in any dealer in " options " on the Chicago Board of Trade. They are nearly always poor or ignorant people, w"ho are dazzled by the prospect of becoming suddenly rich, and are lured on until the exhaustion of their means puts an end to the investigation. But the dream remains as vivid as ever; the delusion is clung to with even greater tenacity; and all that remains for them to do is to complain of their wrongs, of the injustice of the law, or the fraud of some unknown trustee. The legend will, perhaps, be handed down to their children, who in their turn may seek possession of these imaginary millions. What is the result of these *' associations," which, it may here be remarked, are by no means of recent date, some having been formed nearly half a century since? The agent (generally the promoter) deputed to discover the broad acres, on arrival in the old country, spends most of his time at the Probate Registry, endeavoring to connect a Testator, or an Intestate, with a member of the Association; and, when the locality is known, he has PROEM. 5 recourse to the Parish Eegisters. Finally, he seeks the assistance of a lawyer, who in most instances dissuades him from proceeding further with the vague information in his possession. After a pro- longed and useless sta}^ he returns to the States, and a " Keport " is then printed, containing copies of wills, a few extracts from Parish Registers, and sometimes a copy of a crest. This is sent to each member of the syndicate. Notice of a second meeting is given, and, if sufficient funds are raised, another visit is made to Europe, and so the matter goes merrily on until the funds are exhausted. In some instances the agent reports that he has been unable to find the estate; or that, owing to the lapse of time, it cannot be recovered; or, mayhap, it is in the possession of the rightful owner. In one case, no less than three of the expectant heirs and two lawyers went to London, to endeavor to recover a small square in the East End. In another, an agent for some twenty years past has derived a liv- ing from the pseudo-claimants to a Townley estate which has long since been claimed and properly disposed of. A third has actually crossed the Atlantic no less than seventeen times. Not one of these associations has ever succeeded in recovering the estate, or, we would say, of even finding any vacant recoverable estate, whether real or personal; but, as an unsupported assertion is easily made, a locality is chosen by the agent bearing the name of the association, and is declared to be the estate sought for. It is to no one's interest to go to the expense of proving a negative, and so the assertion remains, if not unchallenged, at least not disproved by evidence. Thus the "Hyde," "Knight," "Harland," and "Hungerford" estates are said to consist respectively of " Hyde Park," " Knightsbridge," " Har- land Square," and " Hungerford Market and Bridge." If titles to real estate were to be upset upon such slender foundations as the mere coincidence of a name, owners of property would have to con- sider in title deeds the name of the street in which their houses are situated. We should advise all persons who believe themselves entitled to property to be very cautious how they expend their money in verifying their suppositions. Large estates are few in number, and any one wishing to know whether there is any founda- tion for a report that an estate is unclaimed, can readily do so by applying to some responsible person engaged in that line of busi- ness. If any such estates exist, they are invariably known, and are usually placed in due course of Administration by the Chancery Courts. Many persons are undoubtedly entitled to money which can still be recovered, although such claim may have been in abey- 6 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. ance for upwards of a century. We do not advise persons to go to the other extreme, and take no interest in the subject, because they fancy that, owing to the impecunious position of their family, they cannot be entitled to a fortune. Although correct so far as '' for- tune " is concerned, they may yet recover an amount to compensate them fully for their trouble, as these moneys generally find their way into the pockets of those who least expect it. In the following pages lists are given of persons who (if living, or, if dead, whose heirs) are entitled to money, and in most instances the persons mentioned are entitled to sums well worth recovering. In some cases investigation has not been made to ascertain what is really due, and in some cases the amount may prove too small to justify undertaking its recovery. It may be, in some instances, the money has recently been, or is now, in the course of recovery by the persons entitled to it; yet they are all worth looking into, inasmuch, as the fees charged for a preliminary examination are usually small Advertisements for Heirs-at-Law, Next of Kin, Owners of Unclaimed Money, etc., which have appeared in the newspapers of the United States, Canada, Grreat Britain, France, and Germany since the year 1600 have been carefully preserved, classified and numbered, and the names of persons wanted numbering over 100,000 are in the possession of this Bureau.* The following specimens of these advertisements are here inserted, simply to show their character in general: "Baebara Anderson '(deceased.)

This Manual will be thoroughly revised and published every year, and Supplements issued between times, as frequently as may be required; so that names for insertion may be sent in at any time. We trust we shall have the hearty co-operation of all our cor- respondents, as no charge is made for insertion of advertisements, and the benefits are to be mutual. In the preparation of this Manual we have had access to similar works published in Europe, to the authors of which we feel under obligations, and take this public method of acknowledging the same. Amongst those from whose works we have drawn valuable data, we wish to name Robert Gun, Esq., Messrs. De Barnardy Brothers, and Edward Preston, Esq., all of London, England. THE UNCLAIMED MONEY, LANDS AND ESTATES BURKAU. The name of this Bureau is indicative of its nature, object and aims. It was begun in 1875, and has been in successful operation ever since. Having a complete chain of connections with similar Bureaus in Europe, and having access to informa- tion relative to unclaimed estates there, that have been accumulating for over one hundred and fifty years, and concerns property of many millions of dollars, the right- ful heirs to much of which now reside in America, and having correspondents in every county in the United States, we are enabled to collect and disperse information which speedily leads to the finding of rightful heirs and the recovery of long unclaimed estates. Advertisements for Heirs at Law, Next of Kin, Owners of Unclaimed Money, etc., which have appeared in the newspapers of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France and Germany since the year 1600, have been carefully preserved, classified and numbered, and the names of persons wanted numbering over 100,000, are in the possession of this Bureau. Information will be given as to whether or not any par- ticular name appears in these lists, on receipt of a fee of $2.00. An abstract of the advertisement in which any name has appeared will be given on receipt of a fee of $5.00. This fee will be deducted from the fee for a full copy of such advertisement, should it be afterward desired. The fee for full copy of any advertisement is $10.00. Five or ten dollars expended in this way is often of more real value to a claimant than five hundred or a thousand dollars spent in sending an agent to Europe. These ad- vertisements do not cover all the claims that may arise. The fee for searching the records for a will is $10.00, where the date of the tes- tator's death can be given within two years. If this cannot be done, the fee is $3.00 additional for each additional year, and, at this rate, the search may be ex- tended over a period of two hundred years if desired. The Bank of England keeps what is called " Unclaimed Dividend Books." They are now seven in number, and date back to the year 1780, and represent the money deposited in that bank, and for various reasons never called for since the beginning of the last century. They contain the names of over 120,000 depositors, with descrip- tion as to profession and place of residence of each. These books can be personally inspected and any name searched for by our London Associate, for the same fee as above set forth for searching for a will. There are thousands of tracts of land, especially in the Western States and Terri- tories, the owners of which are non-residents and unknown, or dead, and their heirs, ignorant of the ownership. Tax titles are maturing to much of it^ and "land pirates'* have possession of a large amount under forged or "bogus" titles. We hunt up these lands, and with such facts as we can get concerning the owners,, and by means of extensive advertising can generally find the real owner o-r his heirs and place them in rightful possession. No charge is made for advertising names, but we are to share in the profits of the case should the party advertised for be found. We urge our attor- neys and clients to send in such names as they desire advertised, with all facts per- taining to them. Every letter of inquiry to this Bureau must be accompanied by a fee of $1.00 to insure an answer. Address all communications to — J. B. MARTINDALE, General Manager, 142 LaSalle Street, CHICAGO.. CHAPTER I. ENGLISH LAW OF LIMITATIONS. AS the recovery of real estate is altogether barred if an action is not brought Avithin a specified time, we have thought it advisable to give briefly the present existing law of England on the subject of Limita- tion of actions, as it effects real estate. It is not necessary however for present purposes to discuss or do any thing more than briefly allude to the various ancient Statutes of Limita- tion, which date from the year 1540, and most of which, if not all, have been repealed either actually or by implication. No case can now arise under tliem, and they are of interest to the antiquary rather than to the lawyer. Of existing interest there are two groups of facts and phases of Law to be considered. First, the Law as it stood previously to the 1st of January, 1879; and second, the Law as it now stands. The old Act, as will be seen, has now no force or operation whatever as to such parts of it as are repealed by the new one. In enacting these and other limitation measures, the Legislature has acted on the principle that, where any person should fortuitously find himself in possession of realty to which some other person is rightfully entitled, such other person should, in the interest of the public, be placed under some restrictions as to the limit of time for his claim to be properly asserted. To divest any one of what lie has had for many years, and has made provision for enjoying in perpetuity, would probably cause more harm in the end than to permit an ignorant or negli- gent claimant to agitate, and carry out long dormant schemes for an in- definite period. To dispose first of claims by the Cro^^Ti. By 9 Geo. III., cap. 16 (passed in 1769), and its amending Statutes, such claims and rights in any lands are now, and Ixave since that date, been barred after the lapse of sixty years. Xext, with regard to all other persons. Under the Law as it stood previous to the 1st of January, 1879, the Statute 3 & 4 Will. IV., cap. 27 (passed in 1832), absolutely prevented any one from bringing an action for the recovery of land, except within twenty years next after the time at which the right to bring such an action first accrued to him, or to any an- cestor or other person through whom his claim might be founded or arise. This Act contained the very reasonable proviso that with respect to Estates in reversion or remainder, or other future Estates, the right before alluded to should be deemed to have first accrued at the time when any such Es- tate became an Estate in possession. That is to say, a person entitled to succeed to the j)ossession of an Estate on the death of anotlier person who held it for life, was allowed t^renty years to prosecute his claim from the date of the death of the life possessor, on whose death he would become 10 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. entitled, and not before, to, himself enjoy an unfettered interest in the prop- erty. However, under Section 14 of that Act, a written acknowledgment of the title of the person entitled, given to him or his agent, and signed by the person in possession, extended the time of claim to twenty years from the date of such acknowledgment. With respect to disabilities, the Act provided, that if, when the right to bring such an action first accrued, the person entitled should be under disability to sue, by reason of infancy, coverture (if a woman), lunacy, or absence beyond the seas, ten years were allowed from the time wdien the person entitled should have ceased to be under such disability, or should have died, notwithstanding that the period of twenty years before mentioned should have then expired, but with the definite proviso that the whole period do not, including the time of disa- bility, exceed forty years. As an example, we may take a case of a right first accruing in 1840. The land would have been forfeited twenty years after, or in 1860. Supposing the person entitled had been under a disability, such as absence beyond seas, when his right first accrued (1840), a further period of ten years was granted, provided the whole time did not exceed forty years, from the date of his having ceased to be beyond seas, i. e., had he returned in 1855 his right would have disappeared ten years after that date, or in 1865, but had he returned in 1875 it would have been forfeited under that Law in 1880, and not 1885, when the whole period would have exceeded forty years. Asa matter of fact, however, the right to recover would actually have been lost on the 1st of January, 1879, when the new Act hereinafter alluded to became Law. Moreover, no further time was allowed on account of the disability of any other person than the one to whom the right of action first accrued. By that Act, also, a mort- gagee in possession was assured of a quiet possessory title at the expiration of twenty years next after he entered or gave a written acknowledgment such as that before alluded to, of the mortgagor's title or right to redeem. An illustration of the Law on this point, as it relates to mortgagees, may be of use. Let us suppose that A. has mortgaged his freehold property to B. for a certam sum, at a fixed rate of interest. The interest is not paid, and B., instead of exercising the power of sale he no doubt possesses under the mortgage deed, enters into possession, and pays himself his interest out of the rents of the property. As soon as he has been in possession twenty years under the Law then m force (or twelve years now), the right of A. to redeem and get his property back again becomes absolutely barred in the absence of the undertaking or acknowledgment before alluded to. As to an Advowson — which, it may be remarked, is a perpetual right of presenta- tion to an ecclesiastical benefice — no action could be brought to enforce a Tight of presentation after the happening of three successive incumbencies, or sixty years (Avhichever should last happen), or 100 years in all, in case three remarkaloly long-lived ecclesiastics should happen to have been in possession for the whole century. Twenty years, too, was the limit for the recovery of money secured by mortgage, rents-service, or rents-charge and tithes ; or by judgment, or otherwise charged on land and legacies, in the absence of the statutory acknowledgment to which we have already alluded. In every case where any person who could have brought an action or suit for the recovery of the interests alluded to failed to do sc, his right was altogether ex- tinguished. For all practical purj^oses this is an epitome of the Law as it stood prior to the 1st of January, 1879. The Keal Property Limitation Act of 1874, which took effect from"^the 1st of January, 1879, made very important changes in the Law. Such changes, however, may be readily grasped by those ENGLISH LAW OF LIMITATIONS. 11 ^ho have carefully pernsed the following remarks^ as, with one small ex- ception, they are merely an alteration of figures in certain cases. The period of twelve years is substituted for twenty, ^as the limit of time for bringing an action for the recovery of land, or all corporeal hereditaments, and most tithes and rent or other periodical payments charged on land, from an}' person under the circumstances mentioned in the former Act and before alluded to. A good number of possessors with no title to their holdings other than the fact that they were in possession of them, must have blessed the passing of an Act that secured them the property after they had been only twelve years in occupation of it. Thus any one who had taken unto himself a property in the year 1867, was assured, under the new Statute, in the quiet enjoyment of it, by the corresponding day of the year 1879, instead of 1887, as would have been the case, if the Act had not relieved him. The disability clause is also reduced to twelve years, with six years' grace, from death, or ceasing of disability, whichever shall ^rst happen, provided that the whole period does not exceed thirty years. It may be here conveniently remarked that " absence beyond seas" ceases .altogether to be a disability under the new Act — a fact of some importance to foreigners. These are the brief, but important alterations the Law made by "the Statute of 1879 which has been rather more than five years in operation. There are certain other Statutes and many cases affecting the limita- iiion of time for recovery of incorporeal hereditaments, such as way and water leaves and other rights, which, as they are hardly likely to be of any particular interest to our readers, we do not propose to discuss. Generally it may be stated, that in no case has a Claimant any chance •of ousting a possessor, unless he has the amplest proofs that those in possession — who may be there by an agent, if not personally — are there in consequence of concealed fraud, or as Trustees for such Claimant. It is seldom, if ever, that these very difficult facts have been proven to the satis- faction of a Court of Law. The foregoing remarks do not, however, apply to personal property, i. e., cash, or securities for cash in Government Stocks, the Court of Chancery, and in most public Companies, as such investments are held by the Companies as Trustees for their Shareholders, -or Stockholders as the case may be, and can always be recovered, together with the accrued dividends. Legacies bequeathed by Testators, and which xemain unclaimed, are in the same position as the Stocks before mentioned, as also are shares under intestacies. All realty must be conveyed by a deed signed and sealed by the seller, which is delivered to the buyer as evidence of his title ; but it is a matter -of considerable difficulty when a person dies intestate, or makes no allusion in his Will as to his realty, to ascertain when and how" it has been disposed ■of ; for it is only by application to those immediately concerned, that the actual ownership of land can be discovered, unless, however, it is situated in the following two counties or one district, in which disposition of land .and similar property, whether by Deed or Will, must be registered. These counties and this district are provided with Registry Offices (established in the years mentioned), viz., Middlesex in 1708, West Riding of York in 1704, East Riding of Kew York in 1707 (including the town and county of Kingston -upon-Hull), North Riding of York in 1737. The great district of the Fens known as the Bedford Level, which was reclaimed some time since, has a special Act, vesting certain powers in the freeholder, and among others, that of requiring a registration similar to what is already in force in the counties, etc , above mentioned. 13 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. The foregoing remarks comprise all the instances in which registration is compulsory for perfecting a title. In 1862 an Act was passed, entitled the " Land Registry Act" (25 and 26 Vict., cap. 53), making provision for an optional official investigation, by a Commissioner or Registrar appointed by the Government, of any title an owner might desire to have brought under the provisions of jthe Act. On a title being found to be good, a cer- tificate was delivered to the owner, which formed his evidence that he was duly and properly in possession. However, after two or three decisions of the Judges, that the evidence on which the certificate was obtained was open, to resifting at any time, the Statute became unworkable ; so much so, indeed, that Lord St. Leonard, perhaps the most skillful conveyancer who has ever sat on the Woolsack, stated that the Act in question made a title " absolutely indefeasible except in the event of any flaw being found in it," a piece of sarcasm which completely finished its career as a practical reform. In 1875 the " Land Titles and Transfer Act" repealed the foregoing Statute, and established an optional Land Registry for England and Wales (commencing 1st January, 1876), on a basis somewhat extended beyond the limits of its predecessor. A Registrar of Titles and an Assist- ant Registrar have been appointed, Avith a large staff of clerks, both professional and otherwise. These gentlemen act very much in the same way as if they were concerned for purchasers of property, the titles of which owners bring before them. A series of General Rules and Orders regulate the practice, and a strict investigation is made. If the title be found good, a certificate of " absolute title " is delivered. If the owner has a possessory title only, a certificate stating such to be the case is fur- nished him. No case has yet arisen in which a certificate of either of these kinds has been taken exception to. The Act contains a variety of clauses as to registration of mortgages and leases of land subject to its pro- visions which, being of a technical nature, it is unnecessary for us to note here. The principal facts are as stated. As a reform and a general benefit, however, it has wholly failed, and almost as signally so as its pre- decessor. Lawyers, for obvious reasons, do not advise the adoption of its provisions, and owners are shy of it because it does them no immediate good, and takes heavy fees out of their pockets without any immediate benefit. Those with good titles do not want them made better, and such as have bad ones do not want it to be known that they are so. A man who contemplates mortgaging his land — and two-thirds of the landin England and Wales is mortgaged in some manner — does not wish to place himself in such a position that the fact may become known. This is a practical detail the framers of the Act overlooked altogether. Not one title in a thousand is registered under its clauses, which are, be it re- membered, merely optional. The Statute is at present, of chief, if not of only, advantage to the officials who draw large salaries for administering it ; but it is to be hoped that an alteration will take place in the Legislation so as to render the registration of mortgages, and conveyances of land, compulsory, as in France where it has worked smoothly for many years past. Such an alteration would save much useless litigation and great, expense, besides conferring on the possessor an absolute and perfect title. A person may also dispose of his personal Estate by deed of gift, for which there are no Registry Offices. It is by no means rare to find an aged man giving both realty and personalty to his issue or to a stranger ta avoid paying the Government duties on his decease. In many instances. ENGLISH LAW OF LIMITATIONS. 13 therefore, as has been shown, it is next to impossible to discover the actual ownership of property, whether real or personal, without knowledge obtained from parties able to disclose it. If therefore, any person believes himself entitled to property so disposed of, he would have to commence proceedings against the person in possession, who, after giving him notice that he has a perfect title, would produce the deed properly verified to the Court ; and, if it is in due and proper form, the person bringing the action would be condemned to pay all the costs of it, as the burden of proof in this as in all other cases, rests with the person seeking relief. — De Bar- nafdy's Unclaimed Money Register. CHAPTER II. LIMITATION LAWS-UNITED STATES. THE following brief synopsis of the Statutes of Limitation of the several States is not" sufficiently full to be of practical use to attor- neys, but will serve to give a general idea of the law to those who may be mterested : Alabama — Suits on judgments of courts of any State or Territory, or of the United States, twenty years. Suits on sealed contracts, and for bonds or any interest therein, ten years. Suits for trespass, trover or detinue, on simple contracts, stated or liquidated accounts, and for use and occupation of land, six years. Suits on unliquidated accounts, three years. Aeizona — Open account or contract not in writing, two years ; con- tract in writing, four years ; real actions, adverse possession, five years. Arkansas— Open accounts, three years ; promissory notes and written instruments, five years ; judgments and decrees, ten years : for recovery of real estate, seven years. California — For a demand or obligation, in writing or not, created out of the State, two years ; open account or verbal contract, two years ; written contract or obligation executed in the State, four years; real actions, or on judgments or decrees of any court, five years. CoNKECTicuT — Actions upon instruments under seal, and promissory notes not negotiable, must be brought within seventeen years after the right of action accrues.

CHAPTER III. PUBLIC LAND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. The Agricultural Lands are divided into two classes, one at $1.25 per acre, designated as minimum, lying outside of railroad limits ; the other at $2.50 per acre as double minimum, lying within railroad limits. Titles are acquired by purchase at public sale, or by * ^ordinary private entry," and in virtue of the pre-emption, homestead, timber culture and other laws. Purchases at public sale are made when lands are *'^ofEered" at public auc- tion to the highest bidder by proclamation of the President, or by order of the General Land Office. Lands so offered and not sold, and not since reserved or withdrawn from the market, can be secured by "private entry" or location. But none of the lands in Northern Dakota have been "offered" at public sale, all having been reserved for homesteads, pre-emption and tree claims on account of their agricultural value, and because this system is more in accordance with the interests of the masses, and not for specula- tors, as under the public sale system. Sioux half-breed scrip can be used to purchase any surveyed land, but very little of this scrip is now outstand- ing. Soldiers additional homestead entries can also be purchased and laid upon any vacant surveyed land, thus acquiring title without residence thereon. HOMESTEADS. Any person who is the head of a family who has arrived at the age of twenty-one years, and is a citizen of the United States or has filed his declar- ation of intention to become such, is entitled to enter one-quarter sec- tion or less quantity of unappropriated land under the homestead laws. The applicant must make an affidavit that he is over the age of twenty-one or is the head of a family, and that he is a citizen of the United States or has declared his intention to become such, and that the entry is made for his exclusive use and benefit and for actual settlement and cultivation, and must pay the legal fee and that part of the commissions required to be paid when entry is made, as follows : When within railroad limits, for 160 acres, fee $10, commission, $8 ; for eighty acres, fee 85, commission, $4. Outside of railroad limits, fee 810, commission 84, and in proportion for eighty acres. When these re- quirements are complied with the Receiver issues his receipt in duplicate and the matter is entered upon tiie records of the office. After faithful 21 23 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. observance of the law in regard to actual settlement and cultivation for the continuous term of five years, at the expiration of that term or within two years thereafter, final proof must be made, and, if satisfactory to the land officers, that part of the commissions remaining unpaid (the same in amount so paid on entry) must be paid. The Register then issues his certificate and makes proper returns to the general land ofiice. as the basis of a patent. Any settler desiring to make final proof must first file with the Regis- ter a written notice of his intention, describing the land and giving the names of four witnesses by whom the facts as to settlement, continuous residence, cultivation, etc., are to be established. This notice must be ac- companied by a deposit of money sufficient to pay the cost of publishing the notice which the Register is required to publish for thirty days (five times) in a newspaper designated by him, or arrange with the publisher of the paper therefor. Notice is also posted in the land office for the same period. Final proof cannot be made until the expiration of five years from date of entry, and must be made within two years thereafter. In making final proof the homestead settler may appear in person at the district land office with his witnesses and there make the affidavit and proof required, or he may, if by reason of bodily infirmity or distance, it is inconvenient for him to appear at the land office with his witnesses, appear before the judge of a court of record of the county and state or district and territory in which the land is situated, and there make final proof. When a homestead set- tler dies before he can prove up, the wid ow, or in case of her death, her heirs may continue settlement and obtain title upon requisite proof at the proper time. In case of death of both parents, leaving infant children, the homestead may be sold for cash for the benefit of the children, and the purchaser will receive the title. The sale of a. homestead claim to another party before completion of title is not recognized. In making final proof the settler must swear that no part of the land has been alienated except for church, cemetery or school purposes, or right of way of railroad. Homestead claims may be relinquished, but in such case the land re- verts to the government. If a settler does not wish to remain five years on his tract, he may pay for it as under pre-emption law, in cash or war- rants, at any time after six months of actual residence. This proof must be made before the district officers. Homesteaders are allowed six months after entry to commence improvements and establish residence. The law allows but one homestead privilege to any one person. Every person who served not less than ninety days in the army or navy of the United States during "the recent rebellion," who was honor- ably discharged and who has remained loyal to the government, may enter a homestead, and the time of his service shall be deducted from the period of five years, provided that the party shall reside upon and culti- vate his homestead at least one year after he commences improvements. The widow of a soldier, or, if she be dead or has married again, the minor heirs (if any) may, through their guardian, make a homestead entry, and if the soldier died in the service, the whole term of his enlistment will be credited upon the term of required residence. Soldiers and sailors as above may file a homestead declaratory statement for a 160 acres of land through an agent, after which they have six months to file their home- stead. This latter entry must be made in person. Thus a soldier who PUBLIC LAND LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES. 23 desires to secure a claim may do so by sending a power of attorney and certified copy of his discharge to some responsible party who can file for him up on the land selected. Lands acquired under the homestead laws are not liable for any debt contracted prior to the issuing of the patent therefor. PRE-EMPTIOis'S. Heads, of families, widows or single persons (male or female) over the age of twenty-one years, citizens of the United States or who have de- clared their intention to become such under the naturalization laws, may enter upon any *'oifered" or '*unoffered" lands or any unsurveyed lands to which the Indian title is extinguished, and purchase not exceeding 160 acres under pre-emption laws. After making settlement, if on *^ offered" land the applicant must file his declaratory statement with the district land office within thirty days, for which a fee of $^.00 is required, and within one year from date of settlement make final proof of his actual residence on and cultivation of the tract, and pay therefore at $1.25 per acre if outside of railroad limits, or $2.50 per acre if within these limits, and he may pay in cash or by military bounty, land warrants, agricultural college, private claim or supreme court scrip. When the tract has been surveyed and is not " offered " land, the claimant must file his or her declaratory statement, and make proof and payment within thirty -three months from date of settlement. Settlement is the first thing to be done under the pre-emption laws. When settlements are made on unsurveyed lands, settlers are required to file their declaratory statements within three months after date of the receipt at the district land office, of the approved plat of the township em- bracing their claims, and make proof and payment within thirty months from the expiration of said three months, payments the same as in case of offered land. Pre-emptors may submit proof of residence and improvements at any time after six months of actual residence. He must show by his own tes- timony and by two credible witnesses such actual residence and cultiva- tion — a habitable dwelling and other improvements, to the satisfaction of the land officers that the spirit of the law has been complied with. At any time before the expiration of the time allowed for proof and payment, the settler may, by making proper api^lication at the land office and payment of the required fee, convert his claim into a homestead, and the time he has resided upon the land is credited on homestead residence if he desires. Xo person who abandons his residence on his own land to reside on public land in the same state or territory, or who owns 320 acres of land, is entitled to the benefits of the pre-emption laws. It is held, however, that this does not apply to a house and lot in town. Claims can- not be transferred unt'il title is perfected. The second filing of a declar- atory statement by any pre-emptor, when the first filing was legal in all respects, is prohibited. Before proof and payment on pre-emption claim, written notice must be given by the claimants to the register, who must post a notice in his office and cause the same to be published in a newspa- pernearest the land for at least thirty days as in case of homesteads. TEEE CLAIMS. Under the timber culture laws not more than 160 acres on any one section, entirely devoid of timber can be entered, and no person can make more than one entrv thereunder. 24 MARTINDALES UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. The qualifications of applicants are the same as under the pre-emption and homestead laws. The land office charges are, for 160 acres or more than eighty acres, $14 when entry is made and $4 at final proof. For 80 acres or less, $9 at entry and $4 for final proof. The applicant must make affidavit that the land specified in his application is exclusively prairie, or other land devoid of timber, that his filing and entry is for the cultivation of timber for his exclusive use and benefit ; that the application is made in good faith and not for the purpose of speculation, or directly or indirectly for the use or benefit of any other person or persons ; that he intends to hold and cultivate the land and comply with the laws, and that he has noyb previously made an entry under the timber culture law. The party making an entry of a quarter section is required to break or plow five acres covered thereby during the first year, and five acres in addi- tion during the second year. The five acres broken or plowed during the first year he is required to cultivate by raising a crop, or otherwise, during the second year, and to plant in timber, seeds or cuttings during the fourth year. For entries of less than 160 acres the amount of land to be cultivated must hQ prorata. Provision is made for extension of time in case drought or grasshoppers destroy trees. These trees he must cultivate and protect, and if, at the expiration of eight years from date of entry, or at any time within five years thereafter, the entrant, or, if he be dead, his heirs, shall prove by two credible witnesses, the planting, cultivating and protecting tht? timber for not less than eight years, and that there were at the end of eight years at least 675 living, thrifty trees on each of the ten acres required to be planted, he, or they will be entitled to a patent. It should be added, that in making final proof it must be shown " not less than twenty-seven hundred trees were planted to each acre." Fruit trees are not considered timber in regard to cultivation of an entry under this, act. It is not necessary that the ten acres should be in a compact body. Failure to comply with any of the requirements of the Jaw, at any time after one year from date of entry, renders such entry liable to con- test. And upon due proof of such failure the entry will be cancelled. No land under this law will, in any event, become liable to the satisfaction of any debt or debts, contracted prior to the issuing of the final certificate therefor. CHAPTER IV. CURIOSITIES OF NEXT OF KIN. WHILE compiling his index to Next of Kin advertisements^, it occurred to Mr. Edward Preston tliat a summary of such advertisements might not only be amusing, but might chance to convey unexpected good news to some who should read it. For the same reason, and to give an idea of the character of such advertisements in general, we insert it in this Maj^ual as it appeared in the London Times, with the comments of that paper upon it. When we consider that this summary is for only one year's advertisements- in that one paper alone (the year 1876), we can form some idea of the magnitude of such advertising in the different newspapers of the whole civihzed world, running through a hundred years or more : '^ Some twenty-six persons are shown to have died without relatives, as the Treasury Solicitor advertised for the Next of Kin (if any) to make out their relationship. The amount of money thus reverting to the Crown is rarely made public, but it has ' oozed out ' in the notable case of Mrs. Helen Blake, of Kensington, that the sum was not less than £140,000 personalty. In other cases large rewards were offered for marriage, bap- tismal, and burial certificates. A gentleman ' in distressed circumstances sought the representatives of a firm who carried on business in Calcutta in 1816. A reward was offered for information of a lady who, when a girl, was taken from Canada to Australia. Next of Kin were sought for numerous persons who had left England and settled in the Colonies, the United States, or India. Unclaimed dividends of the Agriculturist Cattle Insurance Company awaited claimants. G-ood fortune awaited the family of a certain cab driver. A reverend gentleman, son of a Lincolnshire draper, was wanted for something to his advantage ; and a gentleman who left England in 1854, was wanted to claim a certain residuary estate. Johann Bauer, born in 1820, and last heard of at Sydney, was "^"considered to be dead," -without having left any Heir-at-Law, or by will, disposed of certain property; it was therefore forfeited to the Next of Kin. A son was anxious for his mother's address ; two persons, living in London in 1831, or their descend- ants, were entitled to share in certain moneys. It would be to the advan- tage of a traveling herbalist to write to his wife ; and a miner in the North of England would find it to his advantage to make himself know^n. Nu- merous notices were issued by the Bank of England with reference to re- transfers of Unclaimed Stock or Dividends, from the Commissioners, for the Reduction of the National Debt ; and a reward of £250 was offered for a clue to a marriage settlement by the relatives of a Testator, who, on his death-bed, could only utter the words "^ Lincoln's-Inn Fields." 25. 26 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.

B., of B ; a person who went to sea many years ago, and had not since been heard of, was entitled to funds ; and another who went to sea in 1859, was wanted for something "greatly" to his advantage — such notices as these are not uncommon. A niece was anxious to hear from her uncle ; " the friends she has left in England are all dead ; she is now holding a good situation, and she only wants to hear from her uncle." H. B. was anxious to communicate with the individual who called on him "'^respecting property in Chancery" — there are many callers of this sort — -and the relatives of a gentleman who went to N"ew Zealand in 1862, de- sired much to know his whereabouts. E. C, late of Ipswich, " whose father was a miller, aged 28," — so states the a,dvertisement — was wanted for some- thing greatly to her advantage ; and a Hull pauper inherited £30,000 left him by a Scotch nobleman. The descendants_of one family were entitled to £12,000 ; those of an- other who, in 1798, were living in Bloomsbury, were anxiously sought ; and tidings of a person reported to have been drowned in 1830, in the Mer- rimac Eiver, would be liberalU^ paid for. The ISText of Kin of the Secre- tary of the late Earl Exmouth, were unknown ; and the Heirs of a per- son who emigrated to America as long ago as 1683, were wanted to claim $2,000,000. A father affectionately enquired for his daughter, who ran away from home. " She will learn with regret" — so ran the sad notice — "that her mother died recently" ; a son who left his home in 1850, was in- formed that something " very greatly to his advantage" awaited him — this advertisement was repeated many times in various newspapers. Some- thing good Avas notified for a person who went to New Jersey in 1823 — if dead, his Next of Kin were entitled ; Winifred , not having heard from her husband for twelve years, would be glad of any information within three months ; and a gentleman having left two legacies to charitable in- stitutions, which appear to have had no existence, claimants were sought. Claimants to lands in Canada, and the relatives of two brothers who were drowned at Montreal, were also the subject of Next of Kin notifica- tions. Inquiry was made as to the investments or property of one person, and an ^' expectant legatee" was willing to pay handsomely for a clue to some funds supposed to have been deposited in a Bank ; a laborer was en- titled to a legacy ; and divers charitable institutions (including the Tem- IDorary Home for Lost or Starving Dogs), were invited to claim a share of a l)enevolent Testator's residuary estate. was requested to '^ write to Nephi Elsmore, Salt Lake City, Utah — it will be to his advantage" — some romance undoubtedly underlie'd this notice. Two sisters were informed of the sudden death of their brother at Melbourne ; and the Heirs of Kinian F , who Avas "a hind at Widdrington, in 1760," w^ere unknown. The representatives of a certain merchant, who carried on business in the City of London, in 1820, were Avanted for " something beneficial" ; like notices are A'ery frequent, as Unexpected Assets often accrue. A son Avas anxious to hear from his "mother, sister, or brother" ; and Dinah , sought for something to her great advantage. The relatives of a captain, Avho died suddenly, Avere requested to communicate Avith the clergyman of the parish ; and the '^ Next of Kin of the author of ' Sam Slick' Avill hear of something peculiarly interesting to them on applying to ."

The representa- tives of another lady who died in 1809, at the venerable age of ninety -four, were inquired for by the High Court of Justice. The following is rare : — ^"^ A Prussian gentleman named , is sup- posed to have fallen overboard or leapt into the sea, while on board a vessel bound for Mexico ; being an expert swimmer, he may have been picked up by a passing vessel ; if alive, he is implored to make known his where- abouts." Such an announcement as this naturally gives rise to a world of conjecture, and relatives are perhaps even now ingorant as to whether the unfortunate Prussian is dead or alive. Solicitors were anxious to know if a certain lady " made a will of a more recent date than the one found at her death," and the Heirs of a Mr. Jones, Superintendent of a Lunatic Asylum, in 1826, were now for the first time inquired for. A niece was entreated to communicate with her uncle ; and the representatives of the creditors of a person who died over forty years ago, are interested in a " windfall." A tailor would hear of some- ibhing to his advantage, on applying at his old shop ; and a son was informed of tlie death of his father at Charing Cross Hospital. An afflicted father was in search of his long -lost-sight-of -son ; and tidings would be most thankfully received by the mother of a Queensland emigrant — last heard of eleven years ago. The following contains a highly satisfactory announcement to a gentleman of the Jewish persuasion : — " Should this meet the eye of C. M. Moses, by applying to he will find a legacy from his aunt." A Swiss paper had the following: — '^T. Metzger (Heirs). All persons believing themselves to be heirs of the above, formerly Grovernor of Breda and Lieutenant-Gen eral of the Dutch Cavalry, are requested to communi- cate with , who is in possession of all documents necessary for the recovery of the inheritance." J. Mitchell, who disappeared from Oxford some years ago, was wanted to claim a legacy, and Elizabeth M , who left England in 1850 for New Zealand, was wanted for a like purpose. Colonial newspaper notices are remarkable for their pithiness. The following is from the Sydney Morning Herald: — "Henry Ormerod. — Wanted, information ; last heard of near Sydney ; father dead. Write Mrs. Ormerod." Something advantageous awaited a hair-dresser, late of Eomney, Hants, and a son, resident in Australia, informed his father, brother, cousin, or any of his friends, that they could communicate with him at . The Next of Kin of several soldiers of our Indian Army were wanted to claim various sums of money and effects. One of these soldiers had managed to save the sum of £308 19s. lid. The unknown nephews and nieces were wanted of a gentleman who died at Lisbon; a person, last heard of in Queensland, was entitled to the residuary estate of his brother ; two sons were wanted to claim an estate left them by their father ; and the father of a child, left under the guardianship of a nurse, was informed that " his daughter died suddenly, to the great grief of the nurse." 28 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. A person who left Wales in 1857 was entitled to one-tihird of two farms ; a surplus awaited division among the owners of slaughter-houses shambles, etc., in the neighborhood of old Newgate Market; and Mary Ann K was informed that " she will receive £800, left her by her father's friends," if she would only make herself known. A "Sailor Boy," who left his home early on , would hear of something to his advantage "by writing to Friend ." Preparatory to receiving prop- erty due to him under his grandfather's will, F. J. S. was earnestly requested to communicate with his friends at once. The Next of Kin of a spinster, who died at Bath in 1795, were only now sought; and the address of a father and son wanted by Solicitors in the following curious notice : — *' Stacey, aged between 9 and 10 ; last heard of in care of his father ; believed to be tramping about the country with him." Janet Taylor, who left Stirlingshire about forty years ago, is interested in a Scotch Succession case ; and certain shareholders of the Star and Garter Hotel Company were wanted to claim a good dividend. The Heirs of persons in all stations of life are occasionally sought through the medium of what is known as a Next of Kin Advertisement. The description of L. S. is a " sausage-skin dresser " — an unsavory calling, but, doubtless, a profitable one, as the Heirs were inquired for. J. T., who left England some years ago, is entitled to a share of his father's estate, " if he claims the same witlim two years." A gentleman for some years missing was requested to communicate with Sohcitors "who hold money belonging to him, for which they desire to account," and the heirs of a J. B. Baron were stated to be entitled to no less than £800,000. Unexpected assets of a very large amount awaited the representatives of the creditors of a gentleman who died in 1740, and the Next of Kin of persons who held shares in the West New Jersey Society as long ago as 1692-3 were entitled i.o funds ; a student was implored to communicate with his parents ; and to J. B. the joyful intelligence is conveyed ^' that he has been adjudicated bankrupt, and may return home without fear of molestation." A counsel's clerk is requested to " call at address given him by the lady whom he courageously rescued from drowning, in order to be thanked for his gallant conduct in risking his life on that occasion." Fortunes have occasionally been left for gallant conduct of a similar nature. Similar summaries to the foregoing for the years 1877-1882 have appeared in the following, among other newspapers, namely. Standard, Morning Post, Daily Neios, Broad Arro2v, and Laiu Journal. Space will not permit the reproduction of all these summaries, but the following are the more noticeable of the Kindred notices for 1882 : A lady who left England as long ago as 1826, or her children (if any), are wanted to share a legacy of £3,500 ;" and a veterinary surgeon of Eus- sell Square, in 1830, is interested in a pedigree case pending in Chancery. A gentleman who went to New Zealand would like to hear from any relative or friend now living ; " it is thirty-three years since he heard from home, so full accounts of family, cartes de visite, etc., would be gladly received." J. G-., of Mexico in 1832, and D. G., at one time of Ohio, are entitled to shares in an estate ; the descendants of K. B., who left England in 1810, are sought ; and a large reward is offered for proof of the death of S. A., at one time a barmaid. CURIOSITIES OF NEXT OF KIN. 29 The creditors of a late noble lord are informed that a sum of £4,000 is now divisible among them ; by the death of his aunt, a sailor is entitled to freeholds ; and a soldier who deserted frSni the Uhlan G-uard, at Berlin, is among the missing ones wanted. J. D., of i3ermuda in 1845, is believed to have been lost at sea ; and J. W. H., " of the Rocky Mountains," is interested in his father's estate ; L. H. is wanted to admmister the estate of her late husband, a Canadian farmer ; while J. M., missing for many years, is presumed to be dead, and his wife is applying for letters of administration to his estate in Ireland. There were many similar appli- cations to the Court of Session, under the Presumption of Life Limitation (Scotland) Act, by Next of Kin anxious to possess themselves of the estates of their missing relatives. News is sought of a baronet, last heard of in Sydney, beheved to have gone to Fiji ; also of F. W. C, who is supposed to have gone to Canada. A. H., born in Burmah in 1853, married in 1869, went to sea in 1870, is among the lucky ones wanted for something to their advantage ; and J. O'C, an apprentice on board a merchant vessel, last heard of in 1865 from a sailors' home, is asked to claim his estate, otherwise his sister will take the initiative. E. P. died in Paris in 1871, and his Next of Kin are wanted to claim £591 Consols, with accumulated interest. H. K. N., first of Natal, then of the Australian gold-diggings, last heard of in New Zealand, is desired to make his whereabouts known ; and Bridget R., who left Ireland for England thirty years ago, is entitled to share the estate of a brother who died in Australia. A commission has been issued to take evidence as to the Heirs in England of E. R., who died suddenly in Bombay, and the nephews and nieces sought of W. T., who died in Portugal ; A. M., last heard of in New York, is wanted for his own benefit ; and W. T., once of Queensland, is a residuary legatee ; Rudolph K, formerly of Western Australia, and afterwards of Colombo, is anxiously inquired for ; also the Next of Kin of Sir M. B. C, at one time of Jamaica, and afterwards of Scotland. A man known as " Charcoal Dick," who left the Ballarat diggings for England, is informed that £4,000 or £5,000 lies in the Geelong Bank, and between 200 and 300 ounces of gold-dust in the Gold Treasury ; and a reward is offered for proof of the death of J. E. S., who left Oxford twenty-five years ago. This individual seems to have had a chequered career. He is described as of "roving habits, tall, fine-built, but with club-foot, by trade a trunk-maker ; believed to have exhibited a stuffed calf with two heads and seven legs; sometimes did a little business in booths in the art of self-defense." If W. C. S. does not come forward and prove that he was in this country at a given date, he will forfeit a share of his mother's estate ; and the landlord of J. W. threatens to take possession of a house greatly injured by J. W.'s prolonged absence. In 1G82, a lady of title devised certain lands ; the heirs or assigns of such devises are now sought ; also the Heir -male of T. R., of Oxford, in 1685. " Merchants, shippers, consignees, captains, seamen, and others who may have sustained losses by the Confederate cruisers, are inquired for in connection with the Geneva Award. The Q. C. who is executor of a will bequeathing property of A. J. S., is desired to make himself known ; and T. R., aged seventy, is entitled to a final dividend. About £5,000 is divisible in respect of certain tithe renewal funds ; 30 MARTINDALE^S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. the creditors of one J. S. are entitled to £700 ; whilst another J. S. (a, retired Sergeant-Major E. I. C. S.), is wanted for something to his benefit. Persons having private property or papers belonging to J. L. Y. (late of the Hussars), are sought ; and the guardians of Mary E. D. M. (aged three years), are wanted, respecting matters of ^' great pecuniary impor- tance." Fred J. B., a midshipman, of Brisbane, in 1866 ; and K. C, late engineer on a ship plying on the Shanghai River, are both wanted for something to their advantage ; also the son of a clergyman last heard of in New Zealand. The representatives of R. 0. (excise officer), who left, this country for the United States thirty years ago, are wanted ; and a. notice headed "Bequest" inquires for W. G., formerly of Belfast and lately of New York. Valuable property has been left to G. C. ; and W. H., last heard of at the Diamond Fields, South Africa, is a missing Legatee. Information is desired as to the property of a deceased Major ; also a clue to several large sums due to the estate of 0. R. H. Sylvius L. or his representatives are interested in uhe estate of an Indian Judge who died in 1820 ; A. L. {nee F. de Celigny), or her Heirs are wanted ; and Judy, Michael and Pat Donohoe sought by the Irish Court of Probate. J. McL. had an account with some banker unknown to his Next of Kin, and a clue is desired thereto. J. W. K. F. M., last heard of at Sur- rey Hills, Sidney ; W. H. of Hobart Town, and the representatives of R. P. who died in 1848, are all sought in connection with property at Lime- house. J. M., who left England in the Lalla Room in 1848, informs his rela- tives that they can hear of him at Pretoria ; the Heirs of M. M., who in 1844 owned lands in Ceylon, are wanted ; and J. E. J. W., last heard of at Orange Free State, is entitled to a share of his aunt's estate. A Bombay firm desire to know if a certain lieutenant is alive, as they hold a policy on his life ; while S. D., formerly of Perth, in consequence of the death of his brother is wanted for something greatly to his advantage. One result of the unfortunate " Palmer Expedition " is that persons having property of the deceased in their hands are inquired for ; while in the case of the estate of Mr. Walter Powell, M. P. (lost at sea in a bal- loon), probate has been granted, death being assumed. In addition to these multifarious notices many claimants were sought by the Bank of England authorities as to unclaimed Stocks and Dividends ; the Treasury Solicitor advertised for Next of Kin in some forty '* Crown windfall" cases; and the Crown Agents for the Colonies gave London Gazette publicity to a long list of Cape Intestates, the Unknown Heirs, being entitled to about £20,000. CHAPTER V, DOEMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. BEFORE quoting statistics as to these Funds, it may be useful to give a little historical information (gathered from a Blue Book on Chancery Funds), as to the origin of the Accountant-General's Office, and as to the amount of funds belonging to the Suitors. In the olden time the Masters in Chancery had the custody of all moneys and effects deposited in Court in the suits referred to them, and the Usher took charo^e of any property brought into Court in suits which had not been referred to one of the Masters. The Masters and the Ushej* were responsible for all moneys and other property received by them, and were bound to distribute the property so entrusted to them by Orders of thej Court. In the meantime they employed the money in their hands for their own benefit. This practice continued until the bursting of the South Sea Bubble, when it was fouud that several of the Masters were defaulters. The defalcation amounted to over £100,000 ; it was made good by increased fees on the Suitors, and stringent precautions were taken to prevent a recurrence of such a scandal. Each Master was directed by an Order of the Lord Chancellor of 1724 to procure and send to the Bank of England a chest with one lock, and hasps for two padlocks ; the key of the lock to be kept by the Master, the key of one of the padlocks by one of the six Clerks in Chancery, and the key of the other by the Governor or Cashier of the Bank. Each Master was ordered to deposit in his chest all moneys and securities in his hands belonging to the suitors, and the chests were then to be locked up and left in the custody of the Bank, and to be so kept that the Masters might have easy access thereto, under Orders of the Court. This plan did not work well, for it was found that by the rules of the Bank of England the vault where the chests were kept could not be opened unless two of the Directors were present with their keys; acd it was soon found that great trouble, difficulty and expense would be occa- sioned to the Suitors by requiring the attendance of no less than five officials whenever any of the chests had to be opened to deliver out elfects and to receive the interest due. In 1725. therefore, a General Order was made directing that all money and effects should be taken from the Masters' chests and given into the custody of the Bank. Duplicate accounts were to be kept at the Bank and at the Chancery Report Office, and any dealing with the Suitor's money was to be certified to the Report Office. Another General Order extended the plan to moneys and effects in the custody of the Usher of the Court. In 1726 the first Accountant-General of the Court of Chancery was appointed, and all funds in the custody of the Masters or Ushers were 31 82 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. transferred to his charge. An act of Parliament passed in 1725, gives power to appoint an Accountant-General, and contains elaborate provisions with reference to the custody and safety of the Suitors' Funds. The fol- lowing section evidently points to the misappropriations above referred to: " To the end that all misapplications or wastings of the subject's money by any officer of the High Court of Chancery may be entirely pre- vented for the future. Be it therefore further enacted that the Account- ant-General shall not meddle with the actual receipt of any of the money or effects of the Suitors, but shall only keep the account with the Bank and the said Accountant-General, observing the rules hereby presented, or hereafter to be presented to him by the said Court, shall not be answer- able for any money or effects which he shall not actually receive ; and the Bank of England shall be answerable for all the moneys and effects of the Suitors which are dt shall be actually received by therfi." Having thus glanced at the origin of the office of Accountant-General to the Court of Chancery, a word or two as to the funds dealt with by the Court may not be out of place here. From the Annual Budget of the Paymaster-General it appears that the receipts for the year ending 31st August, 1880, added to the securities then in Court, made up a grand total of £95,504,487 9s. 5d. After deducting payments during the year there remained in hand £75,108,835 5s. Id., exclusive of foreign currencies of the value of about £400,000. These enormous sums were mainly thus invested : Consolidated 3 per cent. Annuities, £17,542,458 9s. 9d. ; cash, £5,234,015 15s. 4d. ; reduced 3 per cent. Annuities, £5,855,591 16s. lOd. ; new 3 per cent. Annuities, £8,470,314 6s. 9d. The residue was made up of India Stock, Exchequer Bills, Metropolitan Consolida^ted Stocks, and^Stocks of most of the leading Railway, Dock and other Com- panies. ' After being informed of these extraordinary investments, no one will be surprised to hear that very considerable sums of Unclaimed Money have, from time to time, accumulated ; in fact, the Royal Courts of Justice have been built almost entirely with the surplus interest of the Suitors' money. By an Act passed in 1865 power is given to apply £1,000,000 from funds standing in the books of the Bank of England to an account entitled : '^Account of securities purchased with surplus interest arising from securi- ties carried to the account of moneys placed out for the benefit and better security of the Suitors of the Court of Chancery." It would seem, therefore, that these unclaimed funds have been utilized to lighten the burden of taxation, it being impossible to divide the surplus interest among the Suitors. The Dormant Funds have frequently been the subject of investiga- tion. From a Return presented to Parliament in 1829, it appears that the total amount of Stock on which the dividends had not been received for twenty years and upwards previous to that date (1829), was £127,904 ; for fifteen years. £22,288 ; for ten years, £70,498 ; and for five years, £201,558. The total amount of Suitors' Stock then in Court was £38,- 597,322. In 1853 the Suitors' Further Relief Act was passed. By it the Lord Chancellor was empowered to cause an investigation to be made into the several accounts standing in the name of the Accountant-General to the credit of any cause or matter, the dividends of which had not been dealt DORMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. 33 with for fifteen years or upwards, and if, and when, he should be of opinion that it was not probable that any claim would be made for the same, to make Orders for the appropriation of the future dividends or such part of such dividends as he should be of opinion might safely and properly be so appropriated, for the benefit of the Suitors, and for the carrying the same over to an account, to be entitled ^'The Suitors' Unclaimed Dividend Account" and for the carrying over, from time to time, such part of the cash standing to the last mentioned account, as he might think fit, to the credit of ^' The Suitors' Fee Fund Account." Directions were also given for a similar investigation to be made at the expiration of every five years. The first investigation under the provisions of the foregoing Act was made in 1854. By a Return made to the House of Commons in July, 1854, it appears that the number of accounts undealt with for fifteen years previously to 1st May, 1854, was 566, and the total amount of such Stock £256,175 2s. 8d., the total amount of Suitors' Stock then in Court being £46,000.000. In 1855, a list containing the titles of such accounts, but not stating the amounts, was printed and exhibited in the Chancery Offices, with the following highly satisfactory result : " Many persons came for- ward and preferred their claims, and about one-half of the Stock supposed to be unclaimed was transferred out of Court to successful claimants." A fact for skeptical people to ponder over, and very encouraging news for claimants. In 1860 and 1866, similar lists were published, but the total amount of funds then lying dormant does not appear therein. The investigations under the '^ Suitors' Further Relief Act" are of a limited character, and do not apply to many unclaimed funds invested by the Accountant-General under the provisions of the " Infant Legacy Act,'^ the " Trustee Relief Act," and other Acts. The first investigation into the amount of Suitors' Unclaimed Cash in Court was made in 1850, and a Return was presented to Parliament shelving the result as follows : Number of accounts 4,013 ; valuation (cash and stocks), £562,039. This Return does not include cash arising from interest or dividends on the Unclaimed Stock. When Mr. Lowe (now Lord Sherbrooke), was Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rev.W. St. J. Wheelhouse, M. P., at the request of an influen- tial deputation, put himself into communication with Mr. Lowe, with a view to having greater publicity given to the list of Unclaimed Funds in Chancery, but Mr. Lowe could not be prevailed upon to alter the arrange- ments then existing, namely, — exhibiting the hst in the Chancery Offices. However, in 1872, the Court of Chancery Funds Act was passed, and by the Rules made thereunder a List of Dormant Funds in Chancery was ordered to be triennially published in the London Gazette. The first list under the new Act was looked for in 1873, but it did not see the light till March, 1877. It contained about 2.500 entries, some of them curious. Thus :— *•' Joseph Barlow — Absent beyond seas ; Bowden y. Bayley — The account of unpaid claimants entitled to £100 each ; Bryan v. Collins — The accumulated account ; Baxter v. Facherell — The schooling and ap- prenticing fund ; Bleadon v. HaATies — The plough, furniture, stock, and effects account ; Brooks y. Levey — The legatees' and annuitants' account ; Sophia Deacle— Present address unknown ; Bryant y. Story — Legacy 34 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. bequeathed for the rehef of widows and] orphans of soldiers killed in war; in the matter of the proceeds of derelict property brought into the Port of Nassau, in 'New Providence^ and sold for the benefit of the rightful owner when appearing, according to the Act 12 Anne, c. 18, s. 2 ; Drever Y. Maadsley — The one hundred years term account ; Gurden y. Badcock — The creditors under the deed of 2nd September, 1791 ; Heyden y. Owen — The account of the seamen belonging toH.M. ships Decade and Argonaut; Milner y. Gilbert — The foreign securities and shares account ; Mason y. Gee-The descended estate; Prince y. Bourjot-The ten hogsheads account; Winter y. Kent — Fund to answer the unclaimed legacy given by the will of the testator, James Underbill ; Wroughton y. Wroughton — The plate and picture account; Yates y. Rawlins — The account of Shareholders who did not come in to substantiate their claims ; the account of the un- claimed legacy of Sebastian Nash de Brissac." In addition to the foregoing the Bank of England is custodian of a number of boxes, etc., belonging to the Suitors. The following are the most noticeable items : " A box containing small articles of jewelry ; a paper marked, ^George Colman, Will'; a box marked, ^Diamond Necklace, Coronet and Earrmgs'; a box containing plate and other articles; a bag of clipped money, etc , (Jones y. Lloyd, August, 1726) ; two boxes containing plate, belonging to a person of unsound mind." Complaints were made in the House of Commons of the delay in issuing the List, and reform in this respect was promised. The second List was not issued until 23 June, 1881. It contains some 4,000 entries, each'representing an unclaimed fund of £50 or upwards. No improvement in the form of the list was observable, and the following notice of motion was given in the House of Commons : " Mr. Stanley Leightox. — Dormant Funds in Chancery. — To call attention to the unsatisfactory form in which the list of causes, to the credit of which unclaimed money belonging to the suitors is standing, is issued ; and to move, — That future lists be strictly alphabetically arranged, with cross-references to the sub-titles ; together with the names and last known addresses of the persons originally entitled ; the date of the last decree or order ; and the amount unclaimed. On March 10, 1882, an interesting debate arose on Mr. Leighton's motion, of which the following is a short summary : Mr. Leighton observed that an abuse existed which might be readily and easily removed. The magnitude of the question was apparent when it was considered that many millions of money passed through the hands of the Paymaster in Chancery every year. Large sums of the suitors' money were borrowed to enable the Chancellor of the Exchequer to carry through his financial operations, and the New Palace of Justice had been mainly built Avith the surplus interest of the suitors' money. In 1881 Mr. Glad- stone borrowed no less than £40,000,000 of the suitors' money for National Debt purposes. Therefore the suitors had some claim to consideration. The letter and the spirit of Acts of Parliament were in favor of publicity, which, indeed, was called for by common honesty. In the olden time, the Suitors' funds had been misappropriated by high officials, who were heavily fined. In our own time, Orders have been passed to the effect that a list of dormant funds should be published every three years, and in alphabet- ical order. It Avas not j)ublished every three years, and when published, it was not in alphabetical order Names and addresses ought to DORMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. 35 be given. This was done in the lists issued by the India Office and the AYar Office ; some of these lists were replete with suggestive details, and would serve as useful models for our Chancery officials. The result of publishing insufficient information was that encouragement was given to the levying of blackmail. If proper lists Avere published, claimants would not have to pay a fancy percentage for information. The usual answer to these complaints was that unfounded claims had to be guarded against ; but it was equally the duty of other Government dejDartments to protect themselves against unfounded claims, and they did it without making a secret of information that ought to be published. AVhat would be thought of a member of this House if he found in the Library a pocket-book con- taining bank-notes, and said nothing about it for fear an unfounded claim should be made ? In respect to these funds, the G-overnment were trustees, with duties to the public ; and they w^ere bound to give all the information they could. The true owners Avere those who would be claimants if they had the knowledge of their rights. The knoAvledge was kept back by the Office, which held and utilizecl the money. A stereotyped official reply had hitherto been given ; but what he wished to do was to sweep away the cob- webs of officialism, and to secure the publication of intelligible lists. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Findlanter seconded the motion. He highly approved of the form of index suggested .... the present system tended to confuse searchers .... otficials might say that the present lists were sufficient, but the pubhc were not satisfied, and the interests of the public ought to be first considered in the matter. Grave scandals sometimes occurred in consequence of the non -publication of information. His attention had re- cently been called to a care before the Master of the Rolls, in Ireland, from which it appeared that a clerk in the Accountant-General's Office in Ire- land, had communicated, it was supposed innocently, to a solicitor in Dub- lin, the fact that a derelict fund of £8,000 was remaining in Court. The consequence was that the solicitor, having looked at the file of proceedings, communicated with the parties interested, and made a bargain with them that, if he told them of that particular fund, he should get one-third of the £8,000. The Master of the Rolls strongly animadverted on the matter, expressing a hope that that would be the last occasion on which, either casually or by design, such a communication would be made, and also a hope that steps would be taken to compel publication of accounts of derelict funds. In Ireland they had no Act similar to that under which even those defective lists were published in England Measures, he thought, ought to be adopted, both in this country and in Ireland, to pre- vent the appropriation of these funds by the Government. The Attokxey-Gexeral. — These Dormant Funds amounted to about a hundredth part only of the total Chancery funds, and consisted, for the most part, of very small amounts.* After a lapse of time they were not thought sufficiently important for persons to make out a claim because they were so small. The list w^as not made out in strictly alphabetical order ; but an alteration in that respect might be made If there was an obligation to publish the list every three years, it certainly ought to be fulfilled The further information desired would involve great labor and trouble as to small amounts, which the Paymaster could not undertake He was quite sure that in this country, however poor * This is a mistake ; each fund represents a sum of £50 or upwards ; the v«ry small amounts are not published at a]]. 36 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. a man might be^ he would be able to employ a solicitor Those hav- ing practical acquaintance with the whole question, thought that sufficient information was already furnished, to enable persons who had a claim, to support it, while shutting out those who made a trade of the matter. Mk. Salt. — What was wanted was sufficient publicity without too much of it It might be well that the lists should b6 published an- nually instead of triennially. Mr. Donaldson Hudson. — The funds did not always consist of sm.all amounts, as had been stated by the Attorney-G-eneral. He knew a case in which upwards of £10,000 had been paid into the Suitors' Fund, where it totally escaped notice for twenty years without earning any interest for those entitled to the money. (Hear.) When a private person applied, all information was refused ; the employment of a solicitor was essential. It was rather hard that those who had only small sums in Chancery should be refused all information except they employed a solicitor The result was that some of those interested never got their money. Unless the lists were properly published, these Dormant Funds would go on increasing. De. Lyons suggested that instead of claimants having to employ a solicitor, a fee of Is. should be charged each applicant, as at Somerset House. He would like to see a similar step taken with regard to unclaimed stock and dividends in the public funds. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Gray regretted that the Attorney-General had not referred to the subject of cross-indexes. The adoj)tion of such a system would, he thought, be of advantage to the parties interested. He could not under- stand how it was that the motion was opposed. For his own part, he be- lieved that, if carried, it would be attended with beneficial results. The motion was unfortunately defeated by a majority of 19, but the question is too important to the public to be allowed to slumber. On March 9, 1883, Mr. Stanley Leighton renewed his motion, and the Attorney-General promised that future Lists should contain sufficient in- formation for legitimate claimants ; the amount standing to the credit of each suit would be given. Tlie next List would be published soon after 30 September, 1883. The debate was commented on in the leading newspapers, thus : — Times. — The subject of Dormant Funds in Chancery is one which relates to a matter of the greatest importance to a vast number of persons. A hundredth part of the Suitors' Funds mean more than £751,000. Look- ing at the question from the Suitors' point of view, it must be admitted tliat each person would prefer reading over the list himself, and finding there the clue which would lead to the discovery he hopes to make .... the particulars exist which might enable much of this money to be successfully claimed. It would, no doubt, be a work of some labor to re-publish the present list with the addition of all the information suggested, but it might be done if some official were told off to comj^ile from the records the necessary facts. We can see no difficulty in providing effectual remedies against the abuses contemplated by the Attorney -General. Observer. — Mr. Leighton has done good service in calling public atten- tion to the funds now lying dormant in Chancery, and it is to be hoped that things will not be allowed to remain as they are. At intervals lists of these unclaimed funds are indeed published, but they are lists which any man of business would be ashamed of. Standard. — Owners for these funds could presumably be found if proper facilities were afforded for investigation. If the existing lists were DORMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. 37 modified iu the sense proposed by Mr. Stanley Leighton, there is no doubt that a large proportion of these Dormant Funds would find their Avay into the pockets of their rightful owners. _ The next list of Dormant Funds will be looked for with some curi- osity. The one on which the debate arose was out of print soon after it was issued. Its great value may be estimated by the fact that the legal papers reprinted it in exienso. A good precedent for the suggested improvement in form of the List is a notice issued '-for general information," by order of the Secretary of State for India, in 1879. That notice Avas published in the leading news- papers, and contains a List of "Unclaimed Balances," amounting to upwards of £10,000, and it gives the following particulars : — (1) date when account opened ; (2) title of account; and (3) amount in Government securities and Cash awaiting claimants. It is, not, therefore, easy to under- stand why information voluntarily given by one Department of the State should be refused by another. — Preston's Uiiclaimed Mojiey. The following is from the London Laiu Journal of recent date, and will be found interesting in this connection : "The publication by the Chancery Pay Office of the list of causes having balances to their credit, which have not been dealt with for fifteen years, is likely to produce much investigation, and to give rise to many expectations, some reasonable and others absurd. If the document pene- trates across the Atlantic, as in all probability it will, some heart-stirring may be expected among our American cousins, some of whom are credited with extravagant notions as to the fortunes merely waiting to be claimed by them in England. In 1855 the first of the lists was published — not printed, we believe, but exhibited in the Chancery offices — and, according to the report of the Chancery Funds Commissioners, ' many persons came forward and preferred their claims, and about one-half the stock supposed to be unclaimed was transferred out of Court to successful claimants.' This result is encouraging to investigators of the list ; but, of course, the gleaners of 1855, being the first comers, had by far the best opportunities. In 1872 the Chancery Funds Act was passed, and the rules made in 1874, under the authority of that Act, after providing (Rule 90) that ^the Chancery Paymaster may, in his discretion, on a request in writing, sup- ply such information with respect to any transactions in the Chancery Pay Office as may from time to time be required in any particular case,' continue (Rule 91) as follows : . As soon as conveniently, may be after September 1, 1875, and after the same day in every succeeding third year, a hst shall be prepared by the Chancery Paymaster, and filed in the Report Office, and a copy thereof shall be inserted in the London Gazette, and exhibited in the several offices of the Court, of the titles of the causes and matters in the books at the Chancery Pay Office (other than the causes or matters referred to in Rule 92), to the credit of which any securities or any money amounting to or exceeding £50 may be standing, which money, or the dividends on which securities, have not been dealt with by the Accountant-General, or by the Chancery Paymaster (otherwise than by the continuous investment or placing on deposit of dividends) during the fifteen years immediately preceding such September 1, and no information shall be given by the Chancery Paymaster respecting any money or securities to the credit of a cause or matter contained in any such list, until he has been furnished with a statement in writing by a Solicitor, requiring such information, of 38 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. the name of the person on whose behalf he apphes, and that, in such Solicitor's opinion, the applicant is beneficially interested in such money or securities/ As soon as conveniently, might be after September 1, 1875, was found to be no earlier than March 1, 1877, when the second list was pub- lished. Some impression on the unclaimed funds must have been made after that list was issued ; and, now the third list has arrived, it will, no doubt, be found less open to attack, but still not to be overlooked by the enterprising. The object of the rule was, doubtless, that there should be a list every three years, but this intention has not been observed. It was only after some correspondence in these columns, and other pressure, that the present list is now produced. It has been suggested that the amount standing to the credit of the cause should be published, as well as its name. Some of the amounts would probably make the mouth water, and perhaps the officials are wise in not offering too tempting a bait to the cupidity of persons who may not be over-scrupulous in backing their claims. No amount, it should be observed, is less than £50 — a sum to which even the richest do not usually object. There is, therefore, quite sufficient induce- ment to any one who may think he has an interest in the cause, to make inquiries. The names of some 3,000 causes are open to be scanned by hopeful eyes. The fact that the amount of the prize is unknown may, perhaps, add zest to the pursuit. But the fact that the property of the Chancery Division of the High Court amounts to a sum nearer £100,000,000 than £50,000,000 sterling— a not unhandsome sHce of which is unclaimed — shows that much is to be won. The bulk of the enormous sum in the hands of the Chancery Division is, of course, left there, even when dividends are unclaimed for fifteen years. The Court is the great administrator of property which executors, trustees, and others prefer not to take the responsibility of distributing for themselves ; and trusts for accumulation, life interests, and other causes, account for much that is left untouched for many years. Still, there are sure to be some happy discoveries, resulting in the receipt of welcome sums. Acute and perse- vering investigators need not fear that enough will not be left out of their leavings to finish the New Law Courts, and we hope that many of them will be successful in rescuing comfortable sums from the maw of the Commissioners for the Eeduction of the National Debt. Not so practically important, but more interesting to the average reader, is the list of ^ boxes and other miscellaneous effects' remaining in the Bank of England to the credit of the Chancery Division. Compared with the list of causes with balances unclaimed for fifteen years, the list of boxes is short, but it gives some details which might well be given in the longer list. Most of the causes are marked with the ' letter, year, and number' which now appears in the title of every cause, the most material part of which is the year in which the writ was issued. The year is, of course, a useful guide to the searcher, and in future issues of the list of causes with unclaimed balances, we hope that it will appear, as well as in the list of boxes. It may be assumed that the causes in this latter list, which contain no numbers and letters, were commenced before it became the practice so to identify causes — that is, before 1853. Only one of those not so identified contains any indication of the date of the cause. All the rest must, therefore, be treated as ' aged,' like the horses whose years are not given in one of Mr. Tattersall's catalogues. One box is not identified even by the name of a cause, but is described simply as ' a box containing DORMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. 39 small articles of jewelry/ It will probably be long before the contents of this box adorns any place more becoming than the Bank cellars, but even its chance of revisiting the light is not hopeless. Not long since, we related in these columns a romantic story of a similar box, the contents of which had been long condemned to the same obscurity. The Bank serv- ants, some years ago, laid hands upon it, and it fell to pieces when touched. It was found to contain a quantity of plate of the period of Charles II. There was also a bundle of love letters, of the time of the Restoration, which performed the prosaic office of disclosing the owner of the plate, which his representative duly received. There are several entries of * plate, jewelry and trinkets,' heirlooms, no doubt, of value and interest ; otherwise they would hardly be where they are ; one of 'family relics,' and one of '^presentation plate.' Many of the contents are described vaguely as ^securities,' and some as 'promissory notes' — baits which will not tempt investigation so strongly as solid silver. One box is marked, ^ His Majesty, the King of Spam, v. Valles and others; securities,' but we have no clue to which king it was, or whether the securities are Spanish bonds. A little investigation would, probably, soon disclose the owner of most of this property. The Chancery Division does not, it must be confessed, take a very high view of its duties in reference to the prop- erty deposited with it. If a trustee, who found himself possessed of valu- able property belonging to his beneficiaries, were to use no more diligence to discover their owner than does the Chancery Division, no judge would fail to pronounce him guilty of a grave breach of duty. The highest Court of Equity in the Kingdom contents itself with playing a sort of game of hunt the slipper with the public. If ownership is satisfactorily proved, the Court will disgorge, but not otherwise. With regard to unclaimed funds and other property of long standing, an official ought to be appointed to discover by all the means available, and by advertisement, whose they are. As it is, the public are left to trust to the ingenuity and penetration of themselves and their legal advisers." CHAPTER VI. ENGLISH ESTATES EEVEETING TO THE CROWN. IN the category of successful claims on the Government for the refund- ing of estates which had reverted to the Crown by reason of persons dying intestate and leaving no known ]N"ext of Kin, is a singular case decided by the late Vice-Chancellor Malins. The facts were these : — In December, 1871, Mrs. Maria Mangin Brown, then of Hertford Street, Mayf air, died intestate, leaving personal property of the value of more than £200,000, and with no Next of Kin ; the Treasury Solicitor took possession of her estate on behalf of the Crown, and paid all expenses of administration, Advertisements were then issued in the following form : — " Next of Kij^. — Brown. — The Eelations or Next of Kin of Maria Mankin Brown, late of Hertford Street, Mayf air, who died on the 21st December, 1871, are requested to apply to the Solicitor of the Treasury, Whitehall, London." Fourteen persons came in under this Advertisement, but only four of them succeeded in establishing their claims. These lucky four were Italians, residing abroad at the time of Mrs. Mangin Brown's death. The matter came on by petition, praying for payment of £192,535, the bal- ance of the above sum of £200,000, to the petitioner, Fillippo Tomasso Mattia Freccia, after providing for succession duty and costs. After some discussion between Counsel, the Vice-Chancellor made the order as prayed. Part of the funds had been paid out of Court, in pursuance of the Vice -Chancellor's Order, when several new claimants appeared on the scene, and a stop-order was obtained on the remaining funds in Court. A Special Examiner was appointed, a vast amount of evidence taken before the Chief Clerk, as to the genuineness of the alleged relationship of the new claimants. The case was carried to the House of Lords, and in June, 1880, their Lordships affirmed the Order of the Vice-Chancellor. One or two curious things concerning the lady whose estate has been the subject of such expensive litigation deserve a passing notice. It seems that the denizens of London are indebted to this Mrs. Brown for a very beautiful drinking fountain, placed in Park- lane, close to the house wherein she resided for upwards of forty years. This work of art is said to have cost £5,000. It is also stated that this lady had in contempla- tion the formation of swimming baths in various parts of London at a large outlay, and that when the Metropolitan Board of Works desired to 40 ENGLISH ESTATES REVERTING TO THE (^ROWN. 41 take her house for the ^^urpose of ^yidellmg Hamilton pace^ she proposed to carry out, at her own cost, an alternative scheme, the estimate 'for which was £50,000 ; that the deeds were, it is stated, prepared, but the lady died before she could carry out her good intentions. Lest it should be thought that the Mangin Brown case is an isolated one, and that it is impossible for many people to die without known rela- tives, I may say that between thirty and forty such cases annually occur. Those for 1882 are as follows : — Beresford. John P. (Middlesex). Briggs, Eliza (Somerset). Brown, Thos. (York). Butler, Mary Ann (Middlesex). Cain (or Kane, Michael (Chester). Chandler. Jno. (ship's cook) died at sea. Crook, Maria (Middlesex). Daly, John (Middlesex). Davis (or Davies), (Hertford). Doyle, Ann (Ireland). Gray, John (Middlesex). Halfpenny, Daniel (Middlesex). Harris, Selina (Surrey). Hughes, EUzabeth ((I^hester). Jones, Martha (Hereford). Lacon, Dr. Henry (died abroad). Langley, Catherine R. (Middlesex). Langley, Charles (Solicitor). The Xext of Kin of the above are doubtless inquired for with refer- ence to effects more or less valuable. Such notices are, moreover, ex- ceedingly interesting to relatives, as they are the means of affording a clue to the fate of some missing one. The following notes of curious cases, in wdiich successful claims have- been made on the Crown, will be encouraging to persons having claims of a like kind : — Ludlow, Jane Maria (Middlesex). Mad sen, Mathias (London). Martin, Frances (Middlesex). Mostyn, Robt. Capt. (Ireland). Newman, Alex. (Suffolk). Pigott, D. F. (died abroad). Rowlls, Rath (or Irwin). Smith, George (Middlesex). Stokes, John Allen (Surrey). Sweeney, Maria (Chester). Symons, Caroline (Devon), Tart, William (Dover). Taylor, Geo. (Monmouth). Varley, Samuel (Worcester). Welsh, Edwd. G. (Commercial Trayeler). Welton. John (Middlesex). Williams, Geo. (Middlesex). THE ATTOENEY GENERAL V. KOHLER AXD OTHERS. Li 1802 the followmg Advertisement appeared : — "If the Relations or Xext of Kin (if any) of George Frederick Kohler. late Brigadier-General in his Majesty's Artillery, avIio died in Egypt on 29th December, 1800, a Widower and Litestate, will apply at the 'King's Proctor's Office, Doctors' Commons, London, they will hear of something to their advantage." In 1813 the then Solicitor to the Treasury obtamed, as nominee of the Crown, a grant of Letters of Administration to the estate and effects of George Frederick Kohler, an officer of Artillery, wdio died in Syria in 1800, intestate, and whose property up to that time had not been administered. In 1820 Christiane Bauer, of Cronberg, laborer, and Elizabeth his wdfe, filed a bill, claiming to be entitled to General Kohler's property, as his Nexi of Kin. The bill alleged that the intestate was the only son of George Kohler, Avho was born at Bingen, on the Rhine, and who left there very early in life and became a soldicT in the Royal Artillery ; he after- wards entered the service of the East India Company, where he died or was killed in battle, leaving the intestate his only child. The bill prayed for the usual discovery and accounts. The answer to the bill denied all knowledge of the relationship of the 42 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. plaintiffs to the intestate, and stated that the Crown Solicitor had paid over the money to the King's Proctor, on warrant nnder the Sign Manual. Exceptions were taken to the answer, which were allowed. An amended answer was put in, stating that the nominee of the Crown entered into a bond to the King's Proctor in a penal sum, which bond recited the death of General Kohler intestate and without issue or any known relation, where- by His Majesty, in right of his Royal prerogative, became entitled to the personal estate and effects aforesaid. It was stated that the balance (£7,842, 8s. 4d.) had been, in 1814, paid to the King's Proctor. In 1830 the suit was revived. In 1831 a decree was made directing inquiry as to who were the Next of Kin thus : — " Pursuant to a Decree of His Majesty's Court of Exchequer, the Next •of Kin of George Frederick Kohler, otherwise Keylor^ late a Brigadier- General in His Slajesty's Eegiment of Artillery service, who died at Jaffa, in Egypt, in December, 1800, intestate, who were living at the time of his decease, and the personal representatives of such of them as are since dead." Between 1831 and 1851 various proceedings were taken. On 26 February, 1859 (twenty -eight years after the injury was directed), the Master made his Report, by which he found that Jacob Kohler, Johann Michael Kohler, and Gertrandt Schmidt (formerly Kohler), were the paternal uncles and aunt, and sole Next of Kin of the intestate living at the time of his death, and that Philip Kohler, H s Kohler, and Johann M. Schmidt, were respectively their personal representatives. Exceptions were taken to this Report, but it was confirmed by the Vice-Chancellor Kindersley on 9 June, 1859. A supplemental bill was filed, accounts were directed, and an Order made for paying what should be found due with interest at four per cent. In 1860 the Chief Clerk certified that the sum of £7,842 8s. 4d. was due for principal, and £14,429 12s. 6d. for interest, and an Order was made to pay into Court the sums thus found due. It is almost needless to say the Crown appealed from this decision. In July, 1861, the case came on in the House of Lords, when their Lordships affirmed the Vice-Chancellor's decision. The foregoing case is especially noteworthy as showing that Next of Kin may successfully claim funds from the Crown, although over sixty years may have elapsed between the date of the intestate's death and the recovery of the money. It would be difficult to find a more encouraging case for claimants. RE DEWELL-EDGAR V. REYl^OLDS. This case is remarkable, not for the largeness of the sum at stake, but from the fact that the Crown had to pay interest for a period of thirty years, the Yice-Chancellor being of opinion that the Crown "had no right to have money, as it were, wrapped up in a napkin." The facts were these : — In 1826 Thomas Dewell died intestate. At the time of his death no Next of Kin were forthcoming, and the Crown Solicitor took out Letters of Administration. The following Advertisement was issued : — "If the Relations or Next of Kin of Thomas Dewell, formerly of Cowes, Isle of Wight, and late of Elliott place, near Gosport, in the County of Southampton, Gentleman, a Lieutenant in Her Majesty's Army, deceased, will apply to , the]' may hear of something to their advantage." No Next of Kin appeared. The clear amount that came to the Crown :EKGLISH estates reverting to the crown. 43 Tvas £2,064 7s. Id., which, under the then existing law, the Crown Solic- itor paid over in 18.28 to the King's Proctor, for the King's use. In 1857 a suit was instituted, and further Advertisements for N"ext of Kin were issued. In 1858 certain persons were proven to be Next of Kin, and the Crown were willing to pay the balance aforesaid ; the only question was, whether interest could be claimed from the time when there was a clear balance in the hands of the administrator, — that is, in 1827. After a learned argu- ment, the Yice-Chancellor said : — ''In this case the Sovereign has, on his own account, or on behalf of the public, had the use of the property, and the Sovereign or the public is responsible, and therefore it appears to me there is a liability to pay interest." His Honor then made an Order for repayment by the Crown of the sum of £2,064 7s. Id., with interest from the year 1827 to 1858, — the date of the Order. Another remarkable '^ Crown windfall " case is that of Mrs. Helen Blake, who died in 1876, at Kensington, intestate, leaving personalty of the value of £130,000, and without any known relatives. The usual notice was issued, thus : — "Blake. — Heir-at-Law. — Next of Kin. — The Heir-at-Law and the Next of Kin of Mrs. Helen Blake, late of No. 4, Earl's Terrace, Kensington, Widow, deceased, are requested to apply to the Solicitor of the Treasury." No one reading this very bald notice would guess that £140,000 only awaited proper proofs of identity prior to being handed over to the lucky Next of Kin. The amount in dispute is not stated in the Advertisement, nor are the Next of Kin informed, in the usual phraseology of such notices, that '' something to their advantage " awaits them. Unless Next of Kin Advertisements state concisely what the Next of Kin are wanted for, they have rather a discouraging tendency than otherwise, for instances are not unknown where a creditor of a deceased person has advertised for Next of Kin in order to get his account settled. However, in this case it would seem that claims have been lodged, as an action is pending in the Chancery Division. Many people believe it impossible to recover property from the Crown, but there is little difficulty if the claimant's title is a clear one. The following is the record of a case in which no less a sum than £57,000 in the Three per Cents was thus. recovered : — In 1842, Mr. John Turner, of Middlesex, died intestate, and very wealthy. His effects were taken charge of by the Treasury Solicitor, who issued the following notice : — "Next of Kix. — If the relations or Next of Kin of John Turner late of Huntley Street, in the parish of St. Bancras, in the County of Middle- sex, Esq., who died on or about the 30th day of January, 1842, will apply to they may hear of something to their advantage." The Next of Kin did eventually find it very much to their advantage, but several years elapsed before the Advertisement was brought under their notice. Meanwhile the Solicitor to the Treasury had taken out Letters of Administration and sold the sum of £57,000 Three per Cents standing in the name of the intestate, and paid the proceeds into the Treasury. Next of Kin eventually appeared, and two Chancery suits were instituted. In 1849, the Next of Kin having established their claims, the cause came on for further directions, and a question was raised whether the Solicitor to the Treasury must pay interest on the £57,000 Three per Cents from the time of its transfer "to the Treasury. 44 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. Counsel for the Next of Kin contended that the nominee of the CroTvn was in the same position as any other administrator, and must re- place the fund with interest at four per cent. Counsel for the Crown submitted that the case was a peculiar one ; that by the neglect of the Next of Kin to come forward, and the obscurity and difficulty which the intestate himself had created by using a Christian name different from that by which he had, as the jury had found, been baptized, the administrator was perfectly justified in the course which he had taken, and as he had made no interest by the fund, ought not to pay' any. The case was like that of Unclaimed Dividends which were taken by the Crown, and upon which no interest was paid, the Crown retaining the interest or using the money as compensation for taking care of it, as was done, in fact, by bankers. The plaintiffs were not entitled, either in respect of contract or otherwise, to interest. The Vice-Chancelior, however, was of opinion that as the Crown's nominee had, without any necessity arising in the course of the adminis- tration of the estate, sold the Stock ; and then without any judicial deci- sion,authority, or investigation, paid it over to those whom' he considered entitled, the persons really entitled to the fund ought not to suffer by the proceeding. The Solicitor to the Treasury was therefore ordered to replace the sum produced by the sale, with interest at four per cent. It would be difficult to find a more encouraging decision than the foregoing for persons having claims on the Crown arising out of Intestates' estates. The Upcroft Estate Case (personalty valued at £160,000) excited a good deal of interest. The facts are these : — In November, 1861, the fol- lowing notice appeared in the Times: — "SuDDEisr Death. — The Deputy-Coroner for West Middlesex held an inquest on Wednesday night .... touching the sudden death of a gentleman of fortune named John Montague Upcroft, sixty years of age, residing at 301, Marylebone-road. Mr. Norton, the deceased gentleman's medical adviser, deposed that he was found dead in his bedroom on Satur- day morning last. The cause of death was phthisis and polypus of the heart, and disease of the lungs. The deceased was a man of large property, being worth at least £120,000, and a large amount of money was found in the house. As no relatives had come forward to claim it, the witness had deemed it his duty to employ a solicitor to seal up and take charge of the deceased's property, and to take such other proceedings as the law directed. In conformity with the medical evidence, a verdict of ^ Deatli from natural causes' w^as returned." In December, 1861, the Next of Kin were advertised for apparently without success, as in the session of 1877, Mr. Colman, M. P., gave the following notice : — "To call attention to the case of John Montague Upcroft, an illegiti- mate, who died on the 23rd November, 1861, intestate ; and to move for a Return of any allowance made out of the estate, and of any other applica- tion for allowance which has been made and not acceded to by the Treas- ury." This notice, however, dropped out of the Order Book, and it may be ■useful to cite precedents for the information asked for by Mr. Colman. In 1832, Mr. Harvey (then M P. for Colchester) moved for a Return as ta^ Intestates' Estates as follows : — " Return of the number of cases and of the names of the parties in ENGLISH ESTATES REVERTING TO THE CROWN. 45 -sTliich the Crown has administered to the estate and effects of persons who have died intestate, leaving no lawful issue, since the year 1824 to 1830, hoth inclusive, sj^ecifying (1) the nature and extent of the property so ob- tained and now in progress of recovery ; (2) the appropriation thereof ; (3) what proceedings have been taken in the Courts of Law or Equity in respect thereof; and (4) the costs attending each case, and by and to whom paid, so far as relates to the office of the Solicitor of the Treasury." The return fills 47 pp., and from it we extract the following ; — Num- ber of estates reverting to the Crown during the period between 1824-1830, about 150 ; amount received (in round numbers), £210,000 ; appropriated £131,000; amount in j^rogress of recovery over £25,000; costs, about £20,000. It may be interesting to add particulars of some of the estates inclu- ded in this Keturn, thus : — *• Intestate's name. — Bolton Mainwaring. Amount obtained £6,061 2s. In progress of recoA'ery, Nil. Crown's share paid to the King's Proctor, £1,502 2s. 3d. ; G-rant to Anna Priscilla Warrington, £4,259 12s. 3d. ; Costs, £299 7s. 6d.

Many more details might be extracted from this Eeturn, but the above are probably enough to prove that very large sums yearly revert to the Crown by reason of persons dying without known relatives. One of the most recent " Crown windfall" cases is that of the undis- posed of residue of the estate of a Mr. George Perton who died at Prest- bury, Gloucestershire, in 1881. The personality was valued at £260,000 ; but £200,000 (the residue after payment of munificent legacies) was undis- posed of by the testator's will. An inquiry as to the legitimacy of the testa- tor was held before Mr. Dowdeswell, Q. C. ; the testator was proved to be illegitimate, and the £200,000 went to the Crown. Before leaving this subject we would draw attention to the Treasury Solicitor Act of 1876, under which these estates are dealt with. The title of the Act is ''to incorporate the Solicitor for the affairs of Her Majesty's Treasury, and make further provision respecting the grant of the adminis- tration of the estate of deceased persons for the use of Her Majiesty." The principal sections are as follows : — Section 2 — Enables her Majesty, by Royal Warrant, to nominate the Treasury Solicitor to act on behalf of her Majesty in cases where estates have reverted to the Crown by persons dying intestate or otherwise. Section 4 — Relates to the disposal of money and property received from administration or forfeiture .... of Unclaimed Grants, and em- powers the Treasury to make Rules with reference thereto, thus — (1) Such money and all money arising from securities ... is to be carried to an 46 MARTINBALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. account to be called "The Crown's Nominee Account" (2) All money standing to the credit of the said account not required for purposes thereof is to be paid into the account of Her Majesty's Exchequer. (3) Money,, securities, or property granted by Her Majesty to any person, and not claimed within the period fixed by the rules aforesaid, the Treasury may direct to be sold, and the proceeds carried to the Crown's Nominee Ac- count. Then follows this important proviso : If any person satisfies the Treasury of his right under the said grant to the whole or any part of such unclaimed money, securities, or property, the Treasury may direct the sum paid to the Crown's Nominee Account in respect of the same or of the part to which such person shows himself to be entitled, to be paid to such person out of the Consolidated Fund, or the growing produce thereof. It will thus be seen that personal estate can be recovered from the Crown at any time on proper proofs of title being adduced. The section proceeds : The accounts of the receipts and expenditure on the Crown's Nominee Account shall be deemed public accounts ; and such abstract thereof as may be directed by Kules under this Act shall be annually laid before Parliament. Although the accounts are to be deemed " public accounts," they are issued in such a form as to be of no value whatever to the public. No par- ticulars are given as to the number of estates dealt with ; the names and addresses of the intestates ; the amount of each estate ; the number of cases in which claimants have appeared ; the amount of the funds handed over to the Next of Kin, and so-forth. All these particulars could be given with very little trouble, and the Parliamentary Paper would then indeed be a valuable one to the public. Since the passing of the Treasury Solicitor Act the receipts have been as follows: 1877, £127,876 19s. lid.; 1878, £139,769 9s. 3d.; 1879, £140,879 3s. 5d. ; 1880, £56,448 13s. lid. After payment of the Crown's share, grants to persons having claims on the bountv of the Crown, costs, etc., the balance in hand in 1881 .was £177,374 5s."'lOd. Attention has been called in the House of Commons to the meagre nature of the information afforded by the " Crown's Nominee Ac- count," and Sir Herbert Maxwell, last session, gave the following notice : '' Sir Herbert Maxv^ell — Intestates' Estates reverting to the Crown — Return showing the total amount received on behalf of the Crown since the passing of the Treasury Solicitor Act, 1876, with the names and addresses of the Intestates ; also the names and addresses of the Intestates whose estates are in course of administration, with the amount of each estate." This notice, unfortunately, dropped out of the Order Book, but I hope to see it rencAved. There are many precedents showing the great value of publicity in similar cases. The evidence of the late Queen's Proctor before the legal Depart- ments Commission, as to how these estates are ordinarily dealt with, is very interesting. The following is the essence of it, extracted from a. letter in the Daily News on " Windfalls for Royalty." The Queen's Proc- tor said : " 1 take out letters of administration, and get in all the money for the Government in connection with the estates and Intestate bastards and ENGLISH ESTATES REVERTING TO THE CROWN. 47 lona vacajitia. ...

I then ascertain the facts, and find out who the l^Qxt of Kin are, or the persons to whom the Crown should make grants, and I recommend accordingly. I take out from forty to fifty administra- tions in a year. Some are large amounts — £1^0;QQ0 and sums of that sort." — FresMs Unclaimed Money, CHAPTER VII. CLAIMANTS THEEE are not a few estates m England the presumptive owners whereof, though having apparently a good title thereto, may be ousted by the rightful Heir — supposed long since to have departed this life — re-appearing on the scene. There are likewise people who, possessing every just right to a very desirable estate, are still liable to litigation and worry by reason of impostors setting up claims having 2bprima facie appearance of genuineness. The catalogue of spurious claimants is a long one ; such claims have been set up not only in our own day and in our own country, but also in the olden time both here and abroad. Claimants have rarely any diffi- culty in finding people ready to believe, not only in the genuineness of their claims, but also (and this is the strangest part of the business), to find the money to assist in substantiating them. The Magna Oharta Association is a notable case in point, one of the principal objects of that Association being " to secure the release and establish the rights of Sir Roger Tichborne," — not a very lively outlook for the trustees of the Tich- borne estates, who have already had to obtain a Special Act of Parliament in order to raise funds for opposing the claim of Arthur Orton, the cost of such opposition being nearly £100,000. It is easy for really just claims to arise ; this is clearly shown by the following paragraph, which apppeared in a leading provincial newspaper some years ago: *' Ak Estate Without ak Owker. — At a meeting of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, held in the Grand Jury Room of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, on Thursday night, Mr. George Meyer, who pre- sided, in referring to an interesting seal belonging to the family of Moels, stated that the last owner of the property at Moels had a son of very dissolute character, who, getting into debt, collected the rents of the estate, to meet his extravagances. His father, vowing that he would be revenged on his son, set out to find him ; but whether he did so is not known, as to this day neither father nor son have been heard of, and the whole of the estate is now in the hands of the tenants, and would be claimable should an Heir be found." We often hear of searches for missing Heirs-at-Law, but it is rarely indeed that we find recorded an instance affording such ample material for the novelist as the foregoing. An aggrieved father goes in search of his erring son, and neither father nor son are heard of again — that is suffi- ciently romantic, in all conscience ! Lovers of the curious may like to consult a. work entitled " Celebrated Claimants." Many and marvelous are the claims there recorded, including the history of a spurious claim to be no less a personge than the Sultan of Turkey. A pretender to the throne of England died only recently. 4% CLAIMANTS. 49 The following is a curious case of an abortive claim to large estates in the North of England: Many years ago a Mr. William Swan was found dead in his bed, at an obscure lodging in London. He was the only surviving male Heir of the late Mr. Alderman Swan, Mayor of Hull, who left estates of the value of £20,000 per annum, or thereabouts, and which the unfortunate Heir had been trying (in vain) for over twenty years to recover. The history of the Heir is no less remarkable than that of his father, who, when nine years of age (to disinherit him), was abducted from the house of his father (Kichard Swan, Esq., of Benwell Hall, near Newcastle), and put on board the New Britannia brig ; was wrecked on the rocks of Scilly with Sir Cloudesley Shovel's fleet, and was afterward taken prisoner by an Algerine vessel, and sold for a slave ; but, after four years imprisonment, he was set at liberty by the redeeming Friars. After this he was again ship- wrecked, was carried and sold for a slave to a planter in South Carolina, where he suffered almost every human woe. He returned to his native home in 1726, after an absence of about twenty years, and was identified by one Mrs. Grof ton, of Newcastle, his nurse, and Thomas Chance, who had been his father's footman. He directly laid claim to the estates of Alderman Swan, but having neither money, nor friends living, to assist him, all his efforts proved abortive. After this, he settled at an obscure village, North Dalton, near Hull, where he married one Jane Cole, by whom he had one son, the above unfortunate William Swan. He after- wards died of a broken heart at the above village, 1735. After reading the foregoing romantic story, it is easy to believe in the truth of the old song which says — 'Tis a very good world that we live in, To lend, or to spend, or to give in ; But to beg, or to borrow, or get a man's own, 'Tis the very worst world. Sirs, that ever was known. From the ' great uncertainty of human affairs, it not unfrequently happens that estates belonging to one family change owners several times in a generation. In the course of these transitions, the rightful Heir is occasionally lost sight of, and when he does revisit his native place, he finds it almost impossible to substantiate his heirship. Advertisements for claimants are passed over by most people as hav- ing only a transitory value, but many of such notices are, nevertheless, the means of affording not only a clue to a very desirable estate, but also a clue to the whereabouts of some long-lost relative, who has possibly re- turned from abroad after many years' absence the happy possessor of an ample fortune, which he is anxious his Next of Kin should share, could he only find them. The following is an advertisement for the descendants of a person who died 120 years prior to the issue of this notice : — "William Chapmax, deceased. — William Chapman, late of New Shoreham, in the County of Sussex, Mariner, who departed this life about the year 1732, and formerly of Deptford, in the County of Kent, had by his wife four sons and three daughters ; the names of the sons were Wilf- iam, John, Joseph, and Clement, and the names of the daughters, Eliza- beth, Margaret, and Annie. Any persons who can trace their descent (however remote) from either of the said Chapmans, may hear of some- thing greatly to their advantage, upon application to The following is a very curious Claimant Advertisement : — 50 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. a T To Solicitors ai^d Others. — Twenty-eight years ago. — Wanted, the claims of Young Tom Smith, the shoemaker's son, of London Wall, to be TAKEN" UP. Supposed to be dead. — T. Smith." Such notices as tlie foregoing are not uncommon, and they show pretty clearly that claimant cases are constantly cropping up. What is known as the " Great Jennens Case " has given rise to many Claimants. The facts are remarkable, and may be shortly stated thus : — The late William Jennins, of Acton-place, Suffolk, and of Grosvenor- square, Esq., by whom the estates were left, attained the great age of 97, and died in the year 1798. King William the Third, was godfather to William Jennens, and amongst other valuable presents at his baptism a silver ewer from that Sovereign was conspicuous. William Jennins w^as at one time page to George the First, and during the long period of his life remained a bach- olor, more given to penuriousness than hospitality, and his accumulations multiplied even beyond the power of computation. He received £3,000 a year from what was known as the Exchequer Tontine. He had property in almost every fund, and the following were some of the chief items : — South Sea Stock.... £100,000 Indian Stock.. 23,800 Consols, Three per Cents 60,000 Bank Stock 35,000 Four and Five per Cent, ditto 54,000 Reduced Annuities 50,000 Long ditto 2,000 per ann. Cash at five different bankers. 107,000 Accumulated interest on Stocks, Funds, etc., about 150,000 On Mortgage, about 200,000 Landed estate, say 8,000 per ann. London Assurance (dividend due) 3, 400 New River Concern (dividend due) 5, 000 His wealth was immense. The dividends on most of his Stocks had not been received since 1788, nor the interest on his mortgages for years. In his iron chest, the key of which was found hidden in a mortgage deed, there were bank notes of the year 1788 to the amount of £19,000, and several thousand new guineas. About £20,000 in money and bank notes were found at his town and country houses, and also a key to the chest containing his mother's plate and valuables deposited with Messrs. Childs, the bankers. He is reported to have always kej)t £50,000 in his bankers' hands for any sudden emergency ; he had not drawn a draft on the bank for the last fourteen years of his life. It was only a short time before his death- that he employed a steward. He was very regular and exact in his accounts ; he even noticed his household bills when they exceeded their usual weekly amount. His expenses were supposed to be about £3,000 per annum only, although his property at his death was of the estimated value of two millions sterling. A AVill was found in his coat-pocket, sealed but not signed. This was owing — so runs the tale — to his having left his spectacles at home when he went to his solicitor for the purpose of executing the A¥ill. It is stated that by this Will the whole of his im- mense wealth was intended to be wholly alienated from the channels into which it fell. Truly, indeed, do "• great events from little causes spring " In this case, ^the disposition of no less than two millions worth of property ap- pears to have been diverted, owing to the intending testator having for- gotten his spectacles. The Heir-at-Law of Mr. AVilliam Jennens was CLAIMANTS. 51 George Augustus William Curzon, infant son of the Honorable Assheton Curzon, M. P., to whom all the real estate reverted. The personalty devolved to his cousins. From the date of AVilliam Jenneus's deaths in 1798, to the present time, claimants have periodically made claim to these estates. One of the latest claimants was a person known as " Martin the Sex- ton." His claim was heard by Vice-Chancellor Bacon, and dismissed. The Court of Appeal upheld the Vice- Chancellor. The case of a still later set of claimants to these vast estates came before the late Yice-Chancellor Malins, and was dismissed. Intending claimants would do well to ponder the learned Vice- Chancellor's judgment. His lordship said : " If such a claim could be allowed after a period of eighty-two years, no one would be safe in the possession of his property. He could see no ground whatever for alleging concealed fraud. The Sir Andrew Chadwick Estate case has also given rise to numer- ous claimants. Sir Andrew died at AVestminster in 1768, very wealthy. One remarkable fact in connection with this case is the getting up recently at Rochdale of an "'' Association of Claimants," 400 in number, claiming descent from Sir Andrew — all very anxious to obtain a share of his prop- erty, said to be now worth £7,000,000. The case Cliaclwiclc v. Gliadwich and Others, in which the plaintiff claims to be the Heir-at-Law of Sir Andrew, was lately before the Queen's Bench Division on a question of discovery. The trial of the cause has not yet been decided. A few years since there appeared in the Ne^v Yorh World a very inter- esting article headed^P/^«?^/o^/i Estates, giving " the chances of the Jennens's and others as interpreted by themselves." It shows that Americans in this, as in many other matters, like big figures : — The following table shows the various Estates, their value, and the number of heirs among whom they will be divided.

TRINITY CHURCH HISTORY-AKETJE JANS ESTATE. IN 1636, Roelof Jansen, who had been Assistant Superintendent of Farms at Rennselaerwick, obtained from the Dutch Director-General and Governor, Wouter Van T wilier, a grant of thirty-one morgend, or sixty-two acres, of land on Manhattan Island, a' little to the north of Fort Amsterdam. On the city map to-day, the grant would cover a sec- tion beginning south of Warren Street, extending on Broadway to Duane, and thence northwesterly a mile and a half, to Christopher Street, forming an unequal triangle, with its base on North River. Soon after the grant, Jansen (or Jans) died, leaving a wife and four children. In 1638, the widow, Anetje Jans, married Dominie Everardus Bogardus, and her farm became the " Dominie's Bouwerie." Possibly, if Van Twiller could have foreseen this transfer, he would not have made the grant to Jans. The new Governor and the new dominie were fellow passengers to Man- hattan in 1633, in the ship " South berg," but after their arrival they did not harmonize. The Governor resented the dominie's interference in public affairs. Bogardus, in his pulpit, called Van Twiller " a child of Satan," which so incensed him that he never ap;ain darkened the dominie's door. In 1647, Bogardus sailed for home with William Kieft, who had been Governor since 1638, and now was superseded by Peter Stuyvesant. The ship was wrecked on the coast of Wales, and Bogardus, Kieft, and seventy- eight other passengers were lost. In 1664, by the English occupation, New Amsterdam became New York, and Colonel Richard Nicolls was Gov- ernor. The Jans grant had been confirmed to his heirs soon after the death of Bogardus; but in 1671 the heirs sold the property to Colonel Francis Lovelace, who succeeded Nicolls as Governor in 1668. At this sale one of the heirs failed to be present, but Lovelace considered his title good enough, and he bought the Bouwerie for his private property, not for the Crown. On July 29, 1673, while Lovelace was away on a pleasure tour, five Dutch ships sailed up the bay, anchored off the Battery, and can- nonaded the city. Captain Colve, with six hundred men, landed, and the fort soon surrendered. When Lovelace returned, he was permitted to sail for England, where he was severely reprimanded for cowardice and treachery. The peace between England and the States-General, 1674, restored New York, and one of the first acts of the new Governor, Sir Edmund Andros, was to cojifiscate the estate of Lovelace to the Duke of York. The Jans-Bogardus Bouwerie was thus incorporated into what was 52 TRIXITY CHURCH HISTORY— ANETJE JANS ESTATE. 53 called the Duke's farm, the King's farm (wnen the Duke of York became James II., and also under William and Mary), and the Queen's farm under Anne, in whose reign it was transferred to Trinity Church. THE JANS HEIRS. Thus the Jans claim was wiped out ; indeed, it hardly ever was heard of till about thirty years ago, and Dr. Berrian, in his •* Historical Sketch of Trinity Church," published in 1847, does not even mention it. But since then, uneasy heirs, or supposed heirs, the descendants of the daughters of Anetje Jans Bogardus, the Kiersteds and all their kin, the Van Brughs, and the sisters and the cousins and the aunts, and thousands more, are periodically stirred up by lawyers here and there, throughout the country, from Maine to Texas. Now and then a suit is suggested, with the representation that there are millions in it ; but no scheme of Mul- berry Sellers is more Utopian or hopeless. The State Courts repeatedly have re-affirmed the valid, subsisting, and absolute title of Trinity Church to all its property, and the claims of the Jans heirs are disposed of in '' Sanford's Chancery Keports," vol. iv., p. 633, as follows : ^* The law on these claims is well settled, and it must be sustained in favor of religious corporations as well as private individuals. Indeed,' it would be monstrous, if, after a possession such as has been proven in this case for nearly a century and one-half, open, notorious, and wdthin sight of the temple of justice, the successive claimants, save one, being men of full age, and the courts open to them all the time (except for seven years of the war of the revolution), the title to lands Avere to be litigated success- fully upon a claim which has been suspended for five generations. Few titles in the country would be secure under such an administration of the law ; and its adoption Avould lead to scenes of fraud, corruption, foul in- justice, and legal rapine, far worse in their consequences upon the peace, good order, and happiness of society than external war or domestic msur- rection." As for the story, sometime current, that Trinity corporation was will- ing to compromise such claims, it never has offered," and never will offer, one dollar for that purpose. THE BEGIXXIis"G OF THE PARISH. This prelude explains and disposes of the Anetje Jans claims in con- nection with the property of the corporation ; and now properly begins the history of Trinity Church, especially in respect of its wealth, "^how its means were acquired, and how they have been and are dispensed, which we think will be interesting to the public at large, and especially to* those who have at any time entertained a hope that they would some time become possessed of a. large interest in it, as heirs of ilnetje Jans. Immediately after the Dutch surrender of the colony, the English Church service was first celebrated in New York, September 14, 1664, by the chaplain of the English forces, the Dutch permitting the use of their church after their own morning service ; and for some years the two congregations used the same chapel, which w^as in the fort near the Battery. In 1678- 80, the Rev. Charles AVooley, a graduate of Emanuel College", Cambridge, in 1677, was chaplain to the English garrison, and a journal of the time says : "^\e went at noon to hear the English mmister, whose services took 54 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. ^ place after the Dutch church was out. There were not aboye twenty-five or thirty people in the church," which was a good congregation, for the en- tire population of the city was then only 2,500. In 1696-7, a church was built where Trinity now stands, and in 1697, the fifth year of the reign of William and Mary, by an act of the Assembly, approved and ratified by the Governor of the province, a royal grant was made of " a certain church and steeple lately built in the city of New York, together with a piece or par- cel of ground adjoining thereunto, being in or near to a street without the north gate of the city, commonly called and known by the name of the '^ Broad Way." The name given to the church in the original charter was the same it bears to-day. " The Parish of Trinity Church." The war- dens and vestrymen appointed under this charter included Col. Caleb Heathcote, an ancestor of the late Bishop Delancey, and such names as Morris, Clarke, Read, Burroughs, Wilson, and Ludlow, familiar in this city now. The edifice was built by assessments and subscriptions mostly small, from £1 to £5 ; Gov. Fletcher gave £25 ; Chidlay Brook, Esq., £30 ; and Col. Peter Schuyler subscribed £5, "to be paid in boards." In a subse- quent separate subscription to build a steeple, in a total sum of £318, £5 12s. 3d. was a "contribution from the Jews." In 1704, Sarah Knight, of Boston, kept a journal of her visit here, and she says of 'New York people : " They are generally of the Church of England and have a New England gentleman for their minister and a very fine church, set out with all cus- tomary requisites." This New England gentleman was the Rev. William Vesey, for whom Vesey Street was named. He was educated at Harvard, and was a dissenting preacher but was appointed rector " provided he should be admitted to holy orders," and he went to England and was ordained. His first service in Trinity was on March 13, 1698, and he was rector nearly fifty years, till his death, on July 11, 1746. At first his salary was £100, with £26 allowance for house rent, and afterwards the Easter Communion offerings and £24s. from the weekly collections were allowed him. The clerk and sexton were paid from fees for christenings, marriages, funerals, and bell-ringings. THE queen's farm GRANT. In 1705, in the reign of Queen Anne, a grant was made to the corpo- ration to Trinity Church, by deed patent, signed by Lord Cornbury, then Governor of the province, of '^ the tract called the Queen's farm, lying on the west side of Manhattan Island," extending from what now is Vesey Street, northwardly along the river to Skinner Road, now Christopher Street. This tract included the confiscated Lovelace land, bought from the Jans- Bogardus heirs. It was literally a farm then and of no great value — the city, Avith less than 5,500 population, was Avholly below Wall Street — and in its first year's ownership, the church let the entire farm to George Ryerse, for £35. in 1737 the church, originally a small square building, was en- larged to 148 in length by 72 feet breadth, with a steeple 175 feet high. ^^It stands," says a historian of the time, "very pleasantly upon the banks of Hudson's river, and has a large cemetery on each side, enclosed in the front by a painted, paled fence. Before it, a long walk is railed off from the Broadway, the pleasantest street of any in the town." It was a splen- did church for its day. The tops of the pillars supporting the galleries were decked with the gilt Ijusts of angels winged ; two great glass branches were suspended from the ceiling ; on the wall hung the arms of some of the principal benefactors, conspicuous among them Gov. Fletcher's. During TRINITY CHURCH HISTORY— ANETJE JANS ESTATE. 55 the reigns of William and Mary, Queen Anne, and George I. were be- stowed, hj the bounty of the Crown, three full sets of Communion plate, inscribed with the initials of the donors and the royal arms. All the furniture of the altar, desk, and pulpit was of the richest and cost- liest kind ; and John Clemm built the organ for £520, the vestry adding a gratuity of £40. But with all this show, and with a wealthy congregation, the corporation, rich in productive property, was compara- tively poor, and for many years its wants were pressing. Among the early bequests are £50 from Abraham Depuyster, £500 from Thomas Duncan, £100 from Joseph Murray for the poor of the parish, and £50 from Paul Richards for the same purpose. From the year. 1709 the church conducted and supported a charity school. From 1715 it had assistant ministers, the first of whom were catechists to the children, to the Indians, and especially to the negro slaves, numbers of whom were baptized and became communicants iu the same church'with their own- ers, who were the wealthiest and most prominent people in the city. For, of course, till the Revolution it was the Established Church, and for sixty years the corporation, the vestry, the pew owners, or patentees, as they were called, included members of his Majesty's Council, Mayors, Recorders, Aldermen, Attorneys-General, and other city and provincial magnates. At the same time the selection of wardens and vestrymen, extended to all classes and callings, limited only by reference to the fit- ness, intelligence, and probity of those who were appointed. After the death of William Vesey, the Rev. Henry Barclay, father of Thomas Barclay, the first British Consul-General in the United States, and grandfather of Henry Barclay, British Consul in this city, was appointed rector, and was inducted into office October 22, 1746. An induc- tion in those days required considerable red tape. First, letters from the vestry to the Lord Bishop of London, and to the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, and next to his Excellency, the Hon. George Clinton, Esq., Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief in and over the Province of New York and territories thereon depending, in America, and Vice-Admiral of the same, and Vice-Admiral of the red squadron of his Majesty's fleet. To all this the Governor, signing himself simply G. Clinton, sent letters of admission and institution, and a mandate for the induction of " Henry Barclay, Clerk, able to be Rector of the Parish Church of Trinity Church, in the City of New York ;" and rector he was for eighteen years, until he died, October 28, 1764. He gives its name to Barclay Street. And here it may be noted that Chambers, Des- brosses, Duane, Jay, Laight, Moore, Morris, Murray, some of them opened through church property, all were named for wardens and vestrymen of Trinity, and the derivation of Rector, Church, and so on, is obvious. BUILT. A few years after the induction of Mr. Barclay, the congregation had so increased that, although there were 2,000 sittings in the church, it was resolved to build a chapel. This was the beginning of St. George's. The church lands were still unproductive, but in July, 1749, the corporation bought from Henry Beekman six lots fronting on Nassau and Fair (Beek- 56 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. man) streets. These lots [cost £645, and their estimated value in 1871 was $500,000. Trinity issued bonds for £2,000 to build the chapel. Some subscriptions came in. The Archbishop of Canterbury sent £10; Sir Peter Warren (for whom, and not for General Warren, as some suppose, Warren Street was named) contributed £100. Sir Peter built for his town residence the house, 1 Broadway, which some authorities insist was built by Archibald Kennedy, some time Collector of this port, and afterward the Scotch Earl of Cassilis ; but Warren built it in 1742, long before Kennedy lived in it. St. George's was opened July 1, 1752. It was a neat, stone- faced edifice, 92 feet long, 72 feet wide, with a steeple 175 feet high, and was furnished with " a fine large bell, which cost £88 3s. 2d. sterling." In 1811 St. George's separated from Trinity, but in 1812 Trinity endowed it with twenty-four lots on Greenwich, Barclay, Murray, Warren, Chambers, and Reade streets, then annually renting for |3,000 for twenty-one years, and $3,200 for a second term of twenty-one years. In 1813 the endow- ments were increased by eight lots on Eeade, Murray, and Chambers streets, then renting for |l,020 annually, and Trinity bought from Cor- nelius J. Bogert, for 13,125, a lot to enlarge St. George's church-yard, besides paying 15,104 for an iron railing and some repairs in the church. In 1814 the church was burned, and Trinity rebuilt it at a cost of $31,000, besides buying, for $14,000, the adjacent estate of Thomas Burling. The gifts of Trinity to St. George's in money and lots, at their then value, amounted to nearly a quarter of a million. In 1752 Trinity corporation gave to King's (Columbia) College the tract of land between Murray and Barclay streets, and extending from Church Street to the river. More than thirty years ago,, this ground was very safely estimated to be worth "perhaps $400,000." TRINITY MUSIC IN THE LAST CENTURY. The Rev. Samuel Auchmuty, born in Boston, educated at Harvard College, and ordained in London, who had been assistant to Mr. Barclay and catechist to the blacks, succeeded to the rectorship of Trinity, Septem- ber 1, 1764. The estate of the corporation had become' more productive, but its incorne was still comparatively limited. Yet, in 1763, it was resolved to set apart the lots on Broadway and Partition (Fulton) Street for another chapel, and to borrow £15,750 to build St. Paul's. This beauti- ful building, the only church in the city now standing on its original site, and presenting substantially the same unchanged appearance it did more than a century ago, was opened for service October 30,1766, and Dr. Auchmuty preached the dedication sermon, and the Governor, Sir Henry Moore, by permission of the vestry, introduced a band of music. Trinity, now famous for its choral service, paid much attention to its music long ago. The New York Gazette^ January 15, 1761, notes that " on Sunday last, at Trin- ity Church, was perform^ed an Anthem on the death of his late sacred Majesty" (George II., who died October 25, 1760, and the news was long in coming), composed by Mr Tuckey, organ part by Mr. Harrison, solo part by Mr. Tuckey, and chorus by the boys of the Charity School." In 1762 Trinity sold its old organ, gave 700 guineas for a new one, and advanced the salary of the organist to £18 per quarter. The Gazette of September 23, 1762, announced that " Mr William Tuckey has obligated himself to teach a sufficient number of persons to perform the Te Deum, and he de- sires all persons, from lads of 10 years old, to be speedy in their applica- TRINITY CHURCH HISTORY— ANETJE JANS ESTATE. 57 tion, and he will receive all qualified until there are fifty voices in the chorus." This was the beginning of boy choirs and choral service in the city. It is pleasant to note, too,"^ in the Gazette, February 10, 1772, that a considerable sum of money was collected and charity sermons preached on the previous Sunday at Trinity, St. George's, and St. Paul's for the re- lief of the prisoners in the " Goal" of the city, '' they being in want, not only of firing, but even of the common necessaries of life." TEINITY IX the' REVOLUTIOK. In 1774 New York was a prosperous place of some 22,000 population. In that year John Adams on his way to the Congress in Philadelphia, stopped here, and the simple-minded Bostonian, never before beyond the limits of New England, was much impressed, as his diary records, by " the opulence and splendor of the city." But troubulous times soon came, and first to the Church of England clergymen, who were loyalists. On April 14, 1776, Washington arrived in the city and took command of the American army, which, with his re-enforcements, numbered 10,235 men. Dr. Auchmuty was in New Jersey, and his assistant, the Kev. Charles Inglis, was notified that Washington would be at Trinity on Sun- day, and ''would be glad if the prayers for the King and royal family were- omitted," but Inglis paid no regard to it. Not long after, while he was- officiating, a company of 150 men entered the church, drums beating, fifes playing, and with loaded guns and fixed bayonets. The congregation was terrified, and several women fainted. It was feared that when Mr. IngliS; read the collects for the King and royal family he would be fired at, but he went on with the service as usual, and was undisturbed. By the unani- mous request of the members of the church he consented to preach on. May 17, appointed by Congress as a day of fasting and prayer, but he made peace and repentance his subject and disclaimed having anything to. do with '' politics." At length it was thought expedient, by such of the vestry as remained in town, to shut up the churches. On September 15,, the King's troops returned. Six days afterward a fire destroyed about one- fourth of the city, including Trinity Church, its rectory, its two charity schoolliouses, the whole costing £22,200, besides the loss to the corpora- tion of £536 annual rent of 246 lots, on which the tenant's buildings were burnt. Poor Dr. Auchmuty foroed his way back on foot and at night, through the lines, and raked the rubbish of the ruins, but found nothing valuable, except the church plate and his own. The registers of bap- tisms, marriages, and burials from the foundation of the parish were destroyed, and much family history was thus lost. Dr. Auchmuty preached his last sermon in St. Paul's, and two days afterward fell sick and died March 4, 1777. He was buried in the chancel of St. Paul's, and was succeeded as rector of Trinity parish March 20, by the Kev. Charles Inglis, who resigned November 1, 1783, just before the evacuation of the city by the British tro^ops, and afterward became Bishop of Nova Scotia., He was a loyalist to the last, and one of the last loyalists in Trinity parish. XINE RECTORS li^ 182 TEARS. The Legislature, April 17, 1784, passed ''An act for. making such alterations in the charter of the corporation of Trinity Church, so as to make it more conformable to the Constitution of the State." Kobert R. 58 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. Livingston and James Duane were appointed wardens, and the vestry included Francis Lewis, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, Kichard Morris, William Duer, Kobert Troup,^John Stevens, Anthony Lispenard, John Rutherford, and other historic names ; and, April 22, " agreeable to the desire of the Whig Episcopalians," the Rv . Samuel Provoost was inducted rector. He was one of the nine in the first class graduated, in 1759, from King's (Columbia) College, which th n was a frame building in Trinity church -yard. He was consecrated Bishop of New York in 1787, and in 1789 was chosen chaplain to the United States Senate. On the day of Washington's inauguration he preached before the President and all the dignitaries in St. Paul's Chapel. The second Trinity Church building was erected on the site of the former one in 1788. Long afterward the inscribed tablet on the corner-stone was discovered in the church-yard, at some distance from the building, broken in two pieces, and in 1877 was set in thv, wall of the monument room of the church. Bishop Provoost was rector till he resigned December 22, 1800, and on that day the Rev. Benjamin Moore succeeded him. He was consecrated Bishop of New York in 1801, but continued rector of Trinity till he died, February 27, 1816. In 1803-7 St. John's Chapel was built on the east side of Hudson Square, then a wild and marshy spot, with great ponds in the neighborhood — the resort of sportsmen in the summer and skaters in the winter. The chapel, which has undergone alteration and enlargement three times, originally cost nearly $173,000, and the organ, ordered just before the war of 1812 at an expense of $6,000, was captured by a British cruiser, and it cost $2,000 more to redeem it. John Henry Etobart who was graduated at Princeton, and who had been assistant minister since 1801, and assistant Bishop since May 29, 1811, was inducted March 11, 1816, and continued rector till his death September 12, 1830. His remains rest in the chancel. The Rev. William Berrian was rector from October 11, 1830, to his death, November 1, 1862. The present rector, the Rev Morgan Dix, D. D., was inducted November 11, 1862. Thus, in a period of 182 years, there have been but nine rectors of Trinity. THE PRESENT CHUR€H CONSECRATED. In 1839 Trinity Church was pulled down, and the present splendid structure was begun by the architect, Mr. Richard Upjohn. It was com- pleted in seven years, at a cost, all told, including clock, chimes and or- gan, of 1358,629.94 — probably less than one-half the sum that would be required to build such a church now. It was consecrated on Ascension Day, May 21, 1846, by Bishop McCoskry of Michigan, and the procession, which included more than 150 Doctors of Divinity in surplices, started from Bunkers, which was then (it sounds queerly enough now), a fashion- able hotel at 39 Broadway. Among the many old citizens present was John P. Groshon, who attended the opening of St. Paul's in 1766, and, stranger still, in the audience was Mrs. Ann Livingston, who was at the consecration of the second edifice, and was baptized in the first. The reredos, erected in 1877 by Mr. John Jacob Astor and his brother, Will- iam, as a memorial to tlieir father, cost them about $50,000, and at the same time the corporation expended some $40,000 in re-decorating the chancel, and building new robing rooms in the rear, Trinity Chajoel, in Twenty-Fifth Street, built in 1851-56, cost $230,000. St. Chrysostom'c Chapel, in Thirty-Ninth Street, built in 1869, cost for land $38,000 and TRINITY CHURCH HISTORY— AXETJE JANS ESTATE. 59 ■buildings $60,000. St. Augustine's, in Houston Street, consecrated Novem- ber 30, 1877, cost 8260,000 ; and to build this fine church the corporation borroAved $200,000 — its only debt to-day. St. Cornelius, on Governor's Island, which Trinity has supported since 1868, and supplied with a cler- gyman, who also acts as j^ost chaplain, is included in the chapels of the corporation. trinity's gifts. In the early history of the parish it was itself in need of assistance, but almost as soon as its property became productive it began to give it away. Since 1745 its gifts to other churches, in money, lots, communion plate, fonts, pulpits, carpets, bells, and everything that can enter into the construction and decoration of churches, are innumerable. At one time it gave £200 towards ground for a negro cemetery. In 1786 it granted three lots in Kobinson Street (now Park place) for the use of the senior pastors of the Presbyterian congregations in the city. Besides the grants already noted, to Columbia College and St. George's Church, it granted in 1795-98 to St. Mark's, built on land given by the Stuyvesants, besides some $20,000 in money, lots estimated thirty years ago to be worth 1131,- OOO ; to Grace Church, in 1804-11, 1120,000 ; Christ Church, $75,000 ; St. Thomas's, $32,300; St. Luke's, $55,800; All Saints', $31,500; Ascen- ■sion, $15,500 ; St. Philip's, $18,000 ; and to churches, colleges, and what not, all over the State and elsewhere, loans, gifts and grants, which, in 1847, were estimated at $2,000,000. The corporation was then cumbered with a debt of $440,000, and as most of its lots had been leased out at an ■early period on mere nominal rents, the annual revenue from ground rents, pew rents, and all other sources had ncA'er in any one year up to that time reached $58,000. The building of Trinity Chapel carried the debt of the corporation up to $668,000. In 1857 the deficits in revenue ior ten years amounted to $273,597.35, and in the same time the corpo ration had contributed and given away outside of the parish $288,141.05. The deficits were met by the sale of real estate and the consequent con- sumption of the principal. Gen. John a Dix, a vestryman since 1849, and a warden and the comptroller of the corporation since 1876, was the first to suggest measures to put a stop to the general giving away of every- thing to everybody. In 1868 the sale of St. John's Park to the Hudson Kiver Railway Company, and about the same time the falling in of the Astor and Lispenard leases, enabled Trinity to wipe out its debt. THE parish's income A>n"D EXPENSES. The property of the corporation, which common rumor makes cover pretty much the whole of lower New York, west of Broadway, and to be worth from seventy to one hundred millions, consists actually of 750 lots which, in 1877, yielded an income of $456,786.45, less than the legal interest on seven million dollars, and the whole property, except the ground occupied by seven churches, four schoolhouses, four cemeteries, a rectory, an infirmary, and a few vacant lots, was productive. In 1878 the income was a little less. The corporation is about to pull down a large building on the corner of King and Greenwich streets, and erect tenement houses on the site. For this purpose it will borrow money, as it now sells no lots, except in very rare instances, to accommodate adjacent '.owners who wish to enlarge their premises. Occasionally tenants have 60 MARTIND ALE'S 'UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. old houses wliicli tliey neglect and let go to ruin, and these sometimes the corporation buys and puts in order to be rented. Out of its revenue, say 1450,000, the corporation pays city taxes, which, in 1877 were more than 1100,500, besides considerable assessments. It wholly supports its seven churches, of which three are entirely free, two nearly free, and of the few pews rented in Trinity the highest brings but 185 a year. Besides its own churches, schools, infirmary, and sundry charities and societies, it supports wholly or in part eighteen more churches in the city, the principal of which are St. Luke's in Hudson Street, which is alloVed $10,000 a year, and All Saints', at the corner, of Henry and Scammel streets, which draws 16,000 a year. The total of such allowances outside of the parish amounted in 1877 to-4 7,660.1 9, and in 1878 to $44,971.22. Its infirmary costs 17,200, and beds at St. Luke's Hospital 12,000 a year. The corporation expends its entire revenue in purposes for which the trust from its foundation was designed, and does not hoaxd one dollar. CHAPTER IX. ESTATES IN CHANCERY. ESTATE OF JOHN TURis'llE. WE have had repeated inquiries respecting the above Estate, and as it is seldom the Treasury have occasion to administer to such a large amount of personalty, it may be of interest for many to know the history of the deceased, and of the litigation to which his intestacy gave rise. In January, 1787, a Mr. John Turner, then a young man, entered as a junior clerk in the Ordnance Office in the Tower, at a salary of £70 a year. In April, 1787, he resigned that office and became clerk to the Sun Fire Office, where, in 1805 he rose to be chief clerk, and retired in 1825 on a pension of £200 a year. From 1807 to 1824 he lodged with Mrs. Derusier, at 120, Great Russell Street. In that year he removed to 13, Upper Thornhaugh Street (now Huntley Street), where he died on the 31st January, 1842, having, on the 21st March, 1841, been found a lunatic. He left a considerable fortune, estimated at the time from £80,000 to £100,000, the result of successful speculation, and more especially from the fortunate purchase of a lottery ticket. After his death advertisements were inserted calling for his Next of Kin, but, none appearing, Mr. George Maule, Solicitor to the Treasury, obtained letters of Administration on behalf of the Crown, and the balance of the property, after payment of the debts and certain legacies left by an imperfect testamentary paper, was paid over to the Consolidated Fund. Some time after this payment, certain persons filed a Bill against Mr. Maule, claiming the property as the lawful Next of Kin. They stated the Intestate to have been the son of John and Elizabeth Turner, married at Bad well Ash, near Burry, in 1755, that he was baptized 14th January, 1763, in the name of ^' Theophilus." He had three brothers and four sisters, two of whom survived him. When about sixteen years of age ^' Theophilus," then residing with his father, who was in the service of the Rev. Dr. Ord, at Farnham St. Martin's, left that place for some offense he had committed. It was proven that he was at school there. No further trace of him is found, but the Plaintiff says he is identi- cal with the '' John Turner " who entered as a clerk in the Tower. The evidence showed that he had left his home, and his family understood Dr. Ord intended to bring him up to the sea ; that he was called "Jack the Sailor," having been to sea for a short time, and the Claimant supposed that Dr. Ord had obtained for him the clerkship in the Tower. The Plaintiff produced also full evidence of statements made by Mr. John Turner, whilst a clerk in the Sun Fire Office, as to his early history, 61 62 MARTIND ALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. which showed that he was the "Theophikis" the son of Dr. Ord's gardener. At his office he would say nothing as to his early lif e,but occasionally he fell in with persons of his own class with whom he would be more communi- cative. The evidence of tAvo of the witnesses to whom Turner had told his history was to the effect that he (Turner), lived in Suffolk in his early years, and left it in dungeon with his relations there. The Court of Chancery gave judgment in favor of the Plaintiff, and ordered Mr. Maule to pay into Court, before the 1st May, 1849, the sum of £52,] 73 2s. lid., being the net balance of deceased's property. The gross amount realized from his estate was £60,430. THE MANGIin-BKOWN ESTATE. It is not often that persons have wealth suddenly thrust upon them; and the five Italians who discovered themselves to be jointly entitled to more than £200,000 cannot be looked upon as otherwise than exceedingly fortunate persons. The money in question was the whole of the residuary estate of an aged lady named Maria Mangini Brown, who died in 1871 in Hertford Street, Mayf air, whose parentage and possessions we propose to shortly discuss. Mrs. Brown was the daughter of one Antonio Mangini, better known in England as Anthony Mangin, who filled various different positions in life, and subsequently towards the latter part of the last cent- ury found himself Agent and Consul -G-eneral in London of the Ligurian or Genoese Republic, one of those struggling states practically obliterated by the First Napolean. He was a commercial man who amassed much wealth ; and married an Englishwoman who pre-deceased him. Mangini himself died in 1803, leaving the bulk of his property to his daughter Maria, who is supposed to have married one Aquila Brown, by whom she had a daughter who died before her and left descendants who, unluckily for themselves, are unable to produce any certificate or other evidence of a marriage between Brown and their grandmother. All Maria Mangini Brown's issue, therefor, being either extinct or shut out, it became neces- sary on her death, in 1871, to seek her Next of Kin from among Consul Mangini's descendants, she not having left any valid will. None of these being forthcoming, the Treasury administered to her estate and assumed possession of her accumulated wealth, subsequently paying it into the Court of Chancery. Here, then, was a wide field for claimants to come from. There was no reason to suppose Antonio Mangini illegitimate, and he must therefore have Next of Kin in existence somewhere. They came eventually, and were no less than thirteen in number, of whom one, a Mrs. Lane, actually got a Chancery decree made in her favor, ordering the payment to her alone of nearly the whole of the £200,000. Before, how- ever, she could enjoy the fruits of her judgment, certain Italians named Freccia, proved themselves nearer of kin than Mrs. Lane to the defunct Consul, and got her judgment reversed in their favor. Two of these Frec- cias received their apportioned shares out of court, and retired to enjoy them to their native land ; but before the remaining three received theirs, a Madame Sturla put in a claim on behalf of herself and four others, al- leging that they in turn were armed with evidence which would prove that they could supplant the Freccias just as the Freccias had ousted the un- fortunate Mrs. Lane. They did not deny that the Freccia family were Next of Kin to one Antonio Mangini who was born at St. Ilario,near Genoa, in 1735, but they asserted that Consul Mangini was quite another person ESTATES IN CHANCERY. 63 of precisely the same name, who was born at Quarto, also near Grenoa, in 1T44:, and from whom they were lineally descended. To support these ditfereut views of the case evidence was produced which took Vice-Chancellor Malins fourteen days to hear, and upwards of 2,000 pages of printed documents were filed by the different parties. The case lay in a nut-shell, but the kernel was difficult to extract. A strong point in the Frec- cia's favor as against the Sturlas was that on Consul Mangini's death in 1803 the ancestors of the former family asserted themselves to be his heirs, and instituted abortive Chancery proceedings for declaring Mrs. Brown illegitimate, and themselves entitled to her father's property. It was thought that the Quarto Manginis would have been the first to do this had they really been of kin; but it wasneversatisfactorially shown that their Counsel's contention — yiz., that they never knew that any proceedings at all were going on — was a just one. The question then depended entirely on the identity of the Consul, as the chains of representation of the two families with their two namesake ancestors were unbroken. "We have not space to go into the evidence, which was of the usual conflicting character. Among other proof the Sturla family relied to a great extent on a docu- ment relating to the Consul's appointment, discovered in the Genoese State Archives, which they alleged bore on their view of the case ; but the Chief Clerk, to whom the matter was referred in the first instance, found that it had at some period been tampered with. This becoming known to the Italian Government they required the paper to be returned to them, so it was not available for the Vice-Chancellor's inspection. Ultimately, after as little delay as was compatible with the greatness of the case, the Vice^ Chancellor decided that the assertion of Madam Sturla and her co-claim- ants as representatives of the Quarto Mangini family had failed, and that the Ligurian Consul having been the Antonio Mangini born at St. Ilario,, the Freccias were entitled to the £200,000 left by his daughter. This judg- ment was delivered in his absence, and his reasons for it have yet to be made known. Be they what they may, however, the not- unsuspicious circumstance connected with the authenticity of Madam] Sturla's document- ary evidence, and the means, which it is admitted, were used to raise money to conduct her case, seems to point to the fact that had it been more just it would have been commenced sooner, and had she and her co- heirs been properly entitled they would not have needed a sort of joint- stock company, formed in Genoa, to raise funds for prosecuting it. The Vice -Chancellor dismissed the Sturlas' summons to vary his Chief Clerk's certificate, and also their action, with costs against them in each case. Whether the unsuccessful parties will appeal is not yet ascertained, and seems at least doubtful. Much stronger evidence will be needed to upset the case of their more fortunate opponents. Gazette op J^ovember, 1880. — It will be remembered that this cele- brated case of unclaimed property which has now gone from the lowest to the highest of our Equity tribunals, was recently decided definitely by the House of Lords, against the appellants. A brief recapitulation of the facts of the case may be of interest. The deceased. Maria Mangini-Brown, an elderly widow lady, died at her residence, Xo. 28, Hertford Street, Mayfair, on 21st December, 1871, leaving about a quarter of a million sterling. All her descendants were either deceased or shut out, and as she made no valid testamentary disposition, the Crown took possession of her estate. Claimants were not longm coming forward, and ultimately the true Next of Kin of the deceased were- found in the persons of a family named 64 MARTINDALE'S UN^CLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. rreccia. They obtained a decree in their favor, and a portion of the fund was paid out to two of the claimants. Very soon after this, however, cer- tain other persons, among them a Mrs. Sturla, came forward, and asserted that they were the true Next of Kin of the intestate, whose father was not, as asserted by the Freccias, born at St. Ilario, near Genoa, in 1735, but another person, born at Quarto, not far from that town, in 1744. The question was one of identity, and although every authority before whom the case was brought, decided that the St. Ilario Mangini was the real "Simon Pure," the disappointed Sturlas appealed from every decision until the case Avas decided against them by the highest judicial tribunal in the Eealm. The case of Mrs, Sturla and her co-heirs depended, as has been already stated, on a document purporting to have been obtained from the State Archives office in Genoa, and which had been tampered with at some period or other. They have not only failed in their attempt to prove themselves what they are not, but are also saddled with all the costs of the former de- cisions against them ; they cannot even receive that condolence in their mis- fortune to which they would have been entitled had not questionable prac- tices been resorted to in order to strengthen their claim. CATHEKIJ^E CHAPMAI^. — ESTATE. The litigation to which the above intestacy has given rise, has been the subject of discussion in the county of Kent and elsewhere for some time past. The intelligence that an heir was Avanted to an estate of one Chapman, worth about £i,200 a year, is, of course, very interesting to all bearing that name ; and the happy news did not long remain a privileged subject of gossip among the people of that county. It was soon known over the coun- try, and, as is usual in such cases, was quickly taken up by our American cous- ins, who, according as it suited their whims or fancies, added or subtracted par- ticulars as to the family, taking care in all cases to increase considerably the original amount — in one instance to an incredible figure. The estate is sit- uated between Ashford and Faversham, and the last possessors were two old ladies, Elizabeth and Catherine Chapman. The former died in October, 1863, and bequeathed her moiety to the tenants ; the other moiety was the property of Catherine Chapman, a lunatic, who died at Periton Court, Westwell, Kent, on 9th November, 1869, a spinster, and intestate, and w^as undisposed of. This is the subject of dispute. Advertisements were inserted in 1863, by the Commissioners in Lunacy, calling for the heirs of Catherine Chapman, with a view of their being appointed committees of the lunatic. Inquiries and researches were made into the Chapman pedigree, but the result was such a multiplicity of Chapmans that, owing to the faulty way in which the old parish registers were kept, it was almost impossible to distinguish the different branches of the family. There were, in several instances, at the same time, more than one Chapman of the same Christian name in the same neighborhood, and of about the same age. Col, Deedes, as lord of the manor, claimed the estate as an escheat in default of heirs ; but, after two trials, the suit was decided against him, there being, indeed, no lack of heirs. The case came on in March last, before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, against the tenants of a farm in the parish of Great Chart, Kent, and forming part of the estate. Our space will not permit us to give particulars of the claimant's pedigree. ESTATES IN CHANCERY. 65 Sufi&ce it to say that the plaintiff in this instance chiimed on the maternal line, as a descendant of the fifth generation of Susan Manooch, also mar- ried to a Chapman, the sister of Martha, wife of William Chapman, of AVestwell, who died in 1748, and who was the great-grandfather of the intestate. The defendants assert that the rightful heir is Thomas Elvey, a descendant of AVilliam Chapman, of Badlesmere, whom they state to be iden- tical with the paternal ancestor of the intestate who died in 1748. The difficulty was to determine who was the heir from the number of claimants, for, as Mr. Hawkins observed at a previous trial, there were about 450 relatives of John Chapman living about the neighborliood, where the Chapmans had been settled for centuries. The jury found in favor of the defendants, and another action must still be brought to determine who is entitled. ESTATE OF KICHAKD THOMAS. Those who have had occasion to search the parochial registers in this country previous to the General Registration Act of 183 7,cannot fail to have been struck by the extraordinary carelessness with which these records were kept. In soQie parishes the baptisms, marriages and burials were indis- criminately entered without any. attempt at regularity, and in others in the form of a diary. In some instances even the facts have been altogether omitted to be entered, the certificate granted at the time remaining the only evidence. From many registers leaves have been destroyed and names cut out, and in some parishes whole volumes are wanting. It is but fair to state that in the towns they were naturally more carefully attended to. Lay registration being unknown previous to 1837, it is frequently very difficult, if not impossible, to obtain certificates, and it is necessary then to have recourse to other means — family Bibles, wills, etc. We are in this respect, a striking contrast to our neighbors across the Channel, who have always attached the greatest importance to the preservation of these records. The way in which their registers are kept, and the full par- ticulars they afford, render the compilation of any pedigree comparatively easy. A case came recently before Vice-Chancellor Sir Eichard Malins which illustrates the impossibility of sometimes producing certificates and showing the secondary evidence which is admitted in such cases. A Mr. Eichard Thomas died recently intestate as to the residue of his estate. An administration suit was instituted in the Chancery Division, and as is usual in such matters, a chief clerk was directed to inquire who were the testator's Next of Kin. He certified that there were twelve nephews and nieces of the testator who were entitled to share equally in the distribu- tion of his residuary estate. Amongst these he included the five children of one Jonathan Mickleburgh, of Crediton, and Elizabeth, his wife, formerly Elizabeth Thomas, spinster, the sister of the testator. The other Xext of Kin alleged that these five persons were illegitimate, their parents never having been married, and that, consequently, they were not entitled to share in distribution to the residuary estate of the testator. No actual evidence, either positive or negative was adduced in respect of this marriage. From the year 1804 down to the date of Mrs. Mickle- burgh's death in 1835, the parties in question had lived together as man and wife, and were acknowledged and received as such by their friends and in society. Two old inhabitants of Crediton, stated that within their memory, Mr. and Mrs. Mickleburgh had always been considered by the 66 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. inhabitants as man and wife. Moreover the testator himself believed his sister to have been properly married and left record of his belief by his Avill, in which a legacy is left to his niece, one of the daughters of his Bister, Elizabeth Mickleburgh. The Vice-Ohancellor observed that where two people had lived together for thirty years, during the whole of which time they were received,in society as husband an wife, it would be very hard if their family were to be bastardized twenty-four years after the death of the survivor. In conclusion, his lordship said he should found his decision on the broad principle essential to the welfare of society, that where two persons have lived together for many years as husband and wife, have been universally received as such, and have had their children baptized in the usual manner, they should be considered as married. Accordingly, the Vice- Chancellor decided that the children of Jonathan and Elizabeth Mickle- burgh are legitimate and entitled to rank as Next of Kin on the estate of the testator, Richard Thomas. This appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls raises a very important question — whether the word children in the Statute for the distribution of Intestate Estates includes only children legitimate accord- ing to English law, or includes those who are legitimate according to the law of the country in which the parents are domiciled at the time of their birth, but illegitimate according to English law. The facts are briefly these. Miss Rachael Goodman, an English lady, died in London on the 15th March, 1878, intestate as to one-third of her estate. All her brothers and sisters had died in her life time, two only leaving issue who survived their aunt, viz. : Isaac Goodman, who left four children, and respect- ing whose rights as four of the Next of Kin there is no question, and Lyon Goodman who, according to English law, left but one legitimate child. This Lyon Goodman lived in England with one Charlotte Smith, and by her had three illegitimate children who, being born in England, have raised no claim. In 1820 he took up his abode in Amsterdam, and continued to reside in that city until 1826. Thither he was followed by Charlotte Smith and the three children. In 1821 a fourth child, named Hannah, was born to them. In the following year he married Charlotte Smith, and after the marriage he had by her another child, Mary. By the Dutch laws all children born before the marriage are legitimated by the marriage. Han- nah Goodman, now Mrs. Pieret, is to all intents and purposes legitimate in Holland, her native country, and the question in this matter arose, whether she is to be considered legitimate according to the law of England, and consequently entitled, as one of the Next of Kin, to a share in that portion of the estate as to which her late aunt died intestate. The Master of the Rolls held that the deceased, being a British subject domiciled in this country, her estate being administered according to English law, that such only can be considered as Next of Kin who are legitimate according to the laws of England, and not according to the laws of the country where the parents are domiciled at the time of the child's birth. Erom this decision Mrs. Pieret appealed. The case was argued on the 4:th of March, when their Lordships took time to consider their judgment, which was given at considerable length on the 13th inst. Lord Justice Lush was of opinion that the judgment of the Master of the Rolls was right, and ought to be affirmed, but Lords Justices Cotton and James. ESTATES IN CHANCERY. 67 beiug of a contrary opinion, the judgment was consequently reversed, in accordance with the views of the majority of the Court. It is a recognized fact that the estate of a deceased person is distrib- uted by the Enghsh Courts according to the laws of the country in which he is domiciled ; and had Lyon Goodman, being domiciled in Holland, died intestate, his personal property in England would have been distrib- uted according to Dutch law — that is, Mrs. Pieret would have been consid- ered as one of his lawful children. This fact was admitted on both sides y but the case before the Court was the administration of an estate according to English law. Lords Justices Cotton and James were of opinion that, in considering the legitimacy of a person born in a foreign country to rank as Next of Kin on an English estate, the law of England will so far depart from its own recognized rule, and consider as legitimate a person who is so in his native country, although illegitimate according to English law. Upon this point Lord Justice Lush differed from his colleagues. It would certainly appear an inconsistency that Mrs. Pieret should be considered in this said country as legitimate and entitled to succeed to her father's estate, and as illegitimate and debarred from all share in her aunt's estate ; but Enghsh law affords many examples of such incongruities, the present decision being among the number, as, although Mrs. Pieret is declared legitimate, and entitled to succeed to personalty as a collateral, she would be excluded from any share in real estate as iflegitimate, according to the judgment of the House of Lords in '^ Birtwhistle v. Bardill." Our space is too limited to allow us to follow the arguments of the learned judges in this case ; we can only briefly notice the facts. The judgments on both sides of the question are very forcible and evenly balanced ; so much so that whichever side is considered first appears to be irrefutable by the force of its reasoning. Such could hardly be otherwise than the case, when we have such authorities as the Master of Eolls and Lord Justice Lush on the one side, and Lords Justices Cotton and James on the other. The case may yet be taken to a higher tribunal for final revision, and under the circumstances, as a matter of public interest, we may express the hope that such may be the case, although in the interest of the litigants, we should hope that it may rest where it is. The amount really involved by this question is not considerable (some £3,000, we believe), and we are afraid the recognized Next of Kin in the first instance will, even if successful on a further appeal, not reap much benefit from its decision. ESTATE OF THE LATE MR. PATERSOK, OF KILMAR^-OCK, K. B. The administration of this estate was made the subject of debate in the House or Commons, attention being called thereto by Colonel Alexan- der, the member for South Ayreshire, and the discussion that ensued is fully reported in the Tiines of 27th June, 1877. Mr, Paterson, of Jamaica, having acquired a large fortune, bequeathed one-half to his sister and her children and the other half to his illegitimate son, expressly stipulating that should his said son die without heirs, his share should not go to the testator's siste^ or heir at-law, but to a distant cousin of his own. The illegitimate son came to Scotland, where he lived a secluded life, and spent but little of his large income. He appears to have been most eccentric, sought to conceal his property, and was not on friendly terms with his father's relatives. He died in January, 1874, intestate, leaving personal property amounting to about £40,000, and being a bastard, the Treasury took possession of his estate. 68 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. Colonel Alexander claims that his constituent Mr. Paterson, of Mont- gomery, be put in the same position as he would have occupied had the deceased, his cousin-german been legitimate. Mr. W. H. Smith, on behalf of the Treasury, submits that the law- gives the property to the State, leaving a discretionary power to the Treas- ury as to its distribution. Although m this case no will had been pro- duced, there is no evidence that one does not exist, as in another case a will had turned up, and the principal was claimed together with 4 per cent interest after fifty years. Several parties claim an interest in this es- tate, the solici!:ors alleging that the intestate intended leaving them a sum of nearly £30,000 which had stood in their names for the last twenty years. The Bailies of Kilmarnock represent it would be carrying out the wishes of the deceased if the money were given for the public objects of that town. The minister of the High Church at Kilmarnock, confirmed the statement that the deceased entertained an antipathy against his relations, and he inferred that the deceased probably intended to leave him a legacy. The law, however, gave the estate to the Crown, and the relations had already been provided for to the extent of one-half the original property. It was stated in the course of the inquiry that the property of intes- tate bastards was formerly administered to in Scotland by the old Scotch Lords of- the Treasury, then by the Barons of the Exchequer, and since 1833 by the Lords of the Treasury. Prior to 1836, in Scotland a bastard was unable to make a will, even in favor of his own children, his estate be- ing dealt with by the Crown. The following is the general principal by which the Treasury is guided in dealing with the estates of intestate bas- tards, as stated by the Secretary to the Treasury in answer to a question by Mr. Grieve, and reported in the Times of the 24th February : — " First of all the claims of any individual are dealt with. An inquiry is made whether there is any evidence, either by an informal will or otherwise of an intention to make provision for that individual. Then they consider further whether a strong claim exists on the part of individuals with re- gard to whom there is no such evidence. Then they proceed to consider what would have been the disposal of the property supposing the deceased had been legitimate, and they follow the principles laid down by the law for the distribution of property in the case of legitimate persons who die intestate." The resolution of Colonel Alexander was negatived by 197 to 135, showing a majority of 62. We have read with much interest the remarks of the hon. members on behalf of the Treasury, and especially of the disinterested way in which it appears that their Lordships distribute the funds of estates in their charge. We fully admit the great responsibility incumbent upon them, but we submit that where their Lordships deal with millions of the pubhc money, they might be more communicative in their replies respecting estates under their control (in most cases amounting only to a few hundred pounds), and not endeavor to preclude inquiries by short, evasive replies which frequently deter claimants from establishing their title, and often inspire the pub- lic with the idea that the British G-overnment consider " Might as Right." CHAPTER X. LOST AT SEA. THE history of the " Lutine" is remarkable, not merely for the amount of specie got from time to time out of the wreck, but from the fact that, although the wreck occurred in the year 1799, salving operations have been continued to the present time. The facts are as follows : — On October 9, 1 799 the "Lutine" of 32 gans, sailed from Yarmouth Koads with several passen- gers, and an immense quantity of treasure, for the Texel. In the course of the day it came on to blow a heavy gale, which continued the whole night ; the ship drove on the outer bank of the Fly Island passage, and was lost. The darkness of the night and violence of the gale precluded all possibility of giving her the least assistance. At daylight not a vestige of the vessel was to be seen ; she had gone to pieces, and every soul, except- ing two, had joerished. The money she had on board is said "to have amounted to £140,000. Conflicting accounts of the foregoing disaster appeared in the news- papers, and there was considerable difference of opinion as to the value of the lost specie ; the lowest estimate is that given above, the highest £3, 000,000. The most vague and contradictory statements were promul- gated as to the contents of the " Lutine"; some writers stated that the Crown Jewels of Holland formed part of her cargo ; others that the money to pay the British troops (then in Holland) was on board ; while others in- sisted that the treasure was consigned by English to Hamburg merchants ; each and all of these statements contained a certain substratum of truth. It appeared that the treasure had been consigned to Hamburg by certain mercantile firms, having been first very heavily insured in various ofiices On receipt of a certificate of the loss of the vessel, the underwriters promptly paid the claims. Salvage operations were then commenced, and in about eighteen months £80,000, or thereabouts rewarded the efforts of the divers and others engaged in the enterprise. The Dutch Government, by. reason of the wreck having occurred on their coast, took two-thirds of the specie found, the remaining one- third going to the finders. Some silver spoons and a sword were among the articles found. In 1814 further attempts were made to get at the wreck, which had be- come deeply imbedded in the sand, but with very indifferent success ; The results of seven years' toil (1814-1821) being the recovery of only a few pieces of silver. In 1822 a Company was formed for the purpose of pros- ecuting a further search for the lost treasure, the Dutch Government by agreement taking half the amount recovered, in consideration of a sum of money advanced to the Company. Several thousand pounds were spent in diving operations, but the result was absolutely nil. Next, Lloyd's 70 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. appeared on the scene, and after much negotiation the Dutch Government agreed to hand over half of any further salvage recovered to Lloydh. From 1822 to 1857 spasmodic efforts were made to fish up further specie, but the result was merely anxiety and vexation of spirit to those engaged in the venture. In 1857 a further agreement was entered into between the Dutch Government and LloycCs, and from 1857 to 1861 (sixty years after the wreck took place) great good fortune attended the efforts of the searchers, about £25,000 being the amount of Lloyd^s share ; some interesting relics were also found, including part of the ship's rudder, and her bell. By the destruction of the Eoyal Exchange by fire, in 1838, the books and papers relating to Lloyd's w^ere lost, and the original underwriters of the " Lutine" cannot now be traced. In 1871 the Society of Lloyds applied for a special act of Parliament ; the preamble of that Act concisely recites the history of the negotiations between Lloyds and the Dutch Government, and states that the Committee of Lloyds had in hand a sum of about £25,000, resulting from the salving operations aforesaid. The following extracts from that Act will be interesting to claimants *. " Section 34 provides that the Society of Lloyds may from time to time aid in or undertake in such manner as to them seems fit the discovery, recovery, protection, and restoration, or other disposal of property before or after the passing of the Act, wrecked, sunk, lost, or abandoned, or found, or recovered in or beneath the sea, or on the shore at home or abroad," " Section 35 provides that the Society may from time to time do or join in doing all such lawful things as they think expedient, with a view to further salving from the wreck of the "Lutine", and hold, receive, and ap- ply for that purpose so much of the money to be received by means of salving therefrom .... and the net money produced thereby, and the said sum of, £25,000 shall be applied for the purposes connected with ship- ping or marine insurance, according to a scheme to be prepared by the Society and confirmed by Order in Council on the recommendation of the Board of Trade after or subject to such public notice to claimants of any part of the money aforesaid to come in, and such investigation of claims and such barring of claims not made or not proved, and such reservation of rights (if any) as the Board of Trade thinks fit," Possibly in years to come a violent storm may arise, and the bed of sand now covering the wreck be again shifted, thus affording scope for further diving operations. A parallel case to that of the "Lutine" was that of the "Thetis", a British frigate, wrecked on the coast of Brazil in 1830, with £162,000 in bullion on board. The hull went to pieces, leaving the treasure upon the bottom in five or six fathoms water. The Admiral on the Brazil Station and the captains and crew of four sloops-of-war were engaged for eighteen months in recovering the treasure. The service was attended with great skill, labor, and danger, and four lives were lost . A good deal of litigation was the result, as dis{)utes arose between the parties as to the amount of re- ward for the salvors. The Court of Admiralty awarded £17,000; the Privy Council £29,000, and £25,800 for expenses. Some years ago a Company, styled " The Wreck Recovery- and Sal- vage Company (Limited)," was launched under distinguished patronage, for carrying on the business of " Ship Raisers and Cargo Salvors." It had however but a brief existence. The following Advertisement contams materials for an interesting tale of the sea : — LOST AT SEA. 71 "Robert Fleurian^ otherwise Florio, who, in 1792, went as stew^ard on board a brig, which sailed from Wapping bound for the West Indies or America, and was compelled soon after to put into the port of Liverpool for repairs, where she lay up^for some time. During such time the said Robert Flurian wrote to his brother in London, saying he thought he should not wait for the vessel, but get another ship, since which time noth- ing has been heard of him, nor of the said vessel, but it is supposed she sailed from Liverpool and was lost at sea, and that the said Robert Florio perished ... He would, if now living, be entitled to certain property under the will of his mother, or if he is dead, his wife or children would have an interest in such property." Some five and twenty years ago a whole family were lost in the wreck of an emigrant vessel. The following facts, taken from a report of the case, show conclusively that loss of life at sea may give rise to family com- plications and years of litigation : — John Tulley, by his.AVill, bequeathed all his real and personal Estate to trustees for the benefit of his only child, Mary Ann, till she attained 21, or marriage, then to pay her £500 ; then, for her separate use, during life ; on her decease, to her children. Testator died in 1832. In June, 1834, Mary Ann Tulley married John Underwood. Three children were born unto them — a daughter and two sons. By Orders of the Court of Chan- cery, the trust estate on the death of John Tulley's first executors became Tested in the appellant, William Wing, and the respondent, Richard Angrave. On October 4, 1853, Mary Ann Underwood duly made her will, and. disposed of the property she took under her father's will, thus : — "to my husband, John Underwood, his heirs, etc., subject to the estates and inter- ests of my children therein, under the will of my late father ; and in case my said husband should die in my lifetime, then I bequeath the said heredita- ments, etc., to William Wing . . . ." Her husband and Wing were named executors. John Underwood, on the same 4th day of October, 1853, exe- cuted his will, and thereby devised and bequeathed all^his real and personal estate to the appellant upon trust for his wife, Mary Ann Underwood, her heirs, etc., absolutely. Then came the following proviso: — "and in case my said wife shall die in my lifetime, then I direct that my said real and personal estate shall be held by my said trustee, upon trust, for my three chil- dren, to be equally divided among them ; and, in case all of them shall die under the age of twenty -one : . . . then to the said William Wing, his heirs, etc., absolutely." Testator appointed his wife and said William Wing, executrix and executor. On October 13, 1853, John Underwood and his wife, with their three children, embarked together in the "Dalhousie," an emigrant ship, bound for Australia, and on the 19th of the same month the ship was wrecked off BeachyHead, and the father, mother, and three children were all drowned at sea. Now the complications began. Wing proved the wills of both John Underwood and his wife, Mrs. Underwood, senior, in January, 1854, took out Letters of Administration to the goods of her granddaughter Catherine, who was seen alive after her parents had perished. She also filed a bill against Wing, praying for an account of tlie personal estate of John Under- wood, and of the separate estate of his wife, and that her own right as administratrix of Catherine in the residue of the two personal estates might be ascertained and declared. The bill alleged that in the events which had happened no beneficial right in the personal property vested in Wing, 73 MARTIiVD ALE'S UXGL AIMED MONEY MAXQAL. Evidence was taken on the subject of the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Under- Avood and their children^ and a medical man explained the process of drowning. In his opinion, assuming the four j)ersons in question to have been in a continued state of submersion, death would take place in the case of all in two minutes at the outside. Two persons, both in health, being totally submerged at tlie same moment, asphyxia Avould ensue in the case of each at the same instant, as nearly as he could conceive. A person of seventy would live as long in such circumstances as a person of thirty, — assuming them both to be in health, — and a female as long as a male, and a weak man as long as a strong one. He could not, medically or phys- iologically, give any opinion whether Mr. or Mrs. Underwood was the sur- vivor. This evidence was corroborated by another medical man. A wit- ness for the defendant was of the opinion that the father survived the wife and two boys. Two other medical men confirmed this opinion. It will, therefore, be seen that in this, as in some other cases, the doctors dif- ferred and the lawyers consequently doubted. In 1854 the suit of Under- wood Y. Wing was heard before the Master of the Rolls, who made a decree declaring the Tulleys entitled in equal shares to the residuary personal estate of the testator, John Tulley. This decree was appealed against, but was, in 1855, affirmed. Another bill was filed against Wing and the Tul- leys, and a similar decree was made to that made in the former suit. On the appeal to the House of Lords, both the suits w^ere treated as involving the same question, so far as Wing w^as concerned. Elaborate arguments were urged by learned Counsel on both sides, and numerous authorities cited, but the result w^as that the former decrees were confirmed. The foregoing case illustrates the glorious uncertainty of the law, and shows that in case of shipwreck, the possession of an estate may depend upon whether one member of a family survived the other by a few seconds only. A similar case came before the Civil Tribunal of Marseilles, in 1882. Husband and wife perished in a boat accident, and on the answer to the question who was the survivor, £75,000 depended. The following case will be especially interesting to readers of the sea- faring class, as it gives the history of property bequeathed to two seamen who, unfortunately, were lost at sea, and consequently never inheg-ited the same. The facts were these : — Richard Corbitt, who died in 1829, by his will, directed the residue of his property to be converted and divided amongst his three children and grandchild. Of these children, James and Charles were merchant seamen, the former being the master and the latter the second mate of a ship called the "Thames," which traded between England and the AVest Indies. They left Demerara for England on the 9th of December, 1828, and touched at Dominica, on the 24th of that month, after which they were never seen nor heard of. Upon these facts being proven, the Master came to the conclusion that the sons survived the father. The Master's Report was disputed, and after learned arguments, Vice- Chancellor Knight Bruce said : — "The small amount of the property, the time and money which have been already consumed in the investigation of this matter, as well as the possibility that the expression of a judicial opinion on the question of fact may the more readily enable any party dissatisfied with my judgment to obtain that of the Lord Chancellor — all these considerations induce me to give and to act upon the OY-)inion, which the evidence before me impresses upon my mind There is no doubt the two men died. The question LOST AT SEA. 73 is, whether they died in their father's hf etime It is not for me now to decide what rule of evidence ought to guide the Court in a case where there is no probability one way or the other — Avhere, for instance, there is. no question of health or danger ; but where, on a particular day, a healthy man is seen exposed to no danger, and is never seen nor heard of again — that is not a case which it is now necessary to decide I am of opin- ion that these men died in their father's lifetime." This decision seems to have given satisfaction to the parties, as it was not appealed from. Some very intricate questions on the construction of the testator's will, however, arose when the cause came on for further con- sideration, and possibly a very large share of the estate was frittered away in costs. The following are specimens of Advertisements arising from loss of life at sea : — Five Pounds Eeward. — Whereas Samuel Brooks, of Jesus College, Cambridge, did, on the evening of Monday, the 25th of August, 1851, with his boatmen named Chellews and Stevens (both inhabitants of St. Ives, in Cornwall), sale from Milford Haven in a small yacht called the "Jack- daw", and neither the said Samuel Brooks nor the said boatmen have sinca returned to their homes. The said Samuel Brooks was short in statue and 23 years of age. The night of the 25th of August, 1851, was very stormy, and the " Jackdaw" and its crew are supposed to have been lost at sea. Any person giving information .... tending to prove that the said Samuel Brooks is living, or if he is dead, or to prove the finding of the "Jackdaw," or any part of that vessel, shall receive the above reward. The following appeared just 100 years ago, and relates to the loss of a ship and every soul on board : — If the Next of Kin or any Eelations of William Foster, late part-owner and master of the merchant ship "Commerce," who, with his wife and every person on board, was lost in the said ship, on her passage from Jamaica to- Bristol, in a violent gale of wind, in September, 1782, will apply to ... . they will hear of something greatly to their advantage. It would be easy to multiply instances of persons supposed to have been lost at sea having been advertised for in connection with Unclaimed Money, but the foregoing are probably sufficient for the purposes of this Chapter. The approximate value of vessels of all nationalities with their cargoes lost during the year 1880, is said to have been no less than £68,327,000, including British property of the value of £47,495,000. These are start- ling figures. During the same year, unfortunately, about 4,000 lives were lost. — FrestorCs Unclaimed Money. CHAPTER XL HEIES-AT-LAW YS. CHAEITIES. A GOOD many people are "making haste to be rich," and in the hurry of business charitable intentions are forgotten. If good resolutions are made, the putting of them into execution is too often deferred to a more conyenient season, which in many cases never arrives, for death steps in and puts an end to further procrastination; while, in other cases, intending testators endeavor to make up for past neglect by bequeathing magnificent sums to Charities, in the hope of perpetuating the renown of their good deeds, as well as of benefiting the Charities. The news of such bequests must always be disappointing to Heirs-at-Law and to Next of Kin. These bequests are made under the belief, doubtless, that " a man may do what he likes with his own." Such a belief may be a very com- forting one, but it rests on no sure foundation, as will be seen by the fol- lowing extract from what is known as the Mortmain Act, passed in the reign of King George II. : " Whereas, gifts or alienations of lands, tenements, or hereditaments in mortmain are prohibited or restrained by Magna Oharta and divers other wholesome laws, as prejudicial to and against the common utility ; nevertheless this publick mischief has of late greatly increased by many large and improvident alienations or dispositions made by languishing or dying persons, or by other persons, to uses called charitable uses,' to take place after their deaths, to the disherison of their lawful Heirs : For rem- edy whereof be it enacted. That from and after the 24th day of June, 1736, no manors, lands, nor any sum or sums of money, goods, chattels, stocks in the publick funds, securities for money, or any other personal estate whatsoever, to be laid out or disposed of in the purchase of any lands shall be given, granted to or upon any person or persons for the benefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, unless such gift be made by deed in the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve kalendar months at least before the death of such donor and be inrolled in His Majesty's High Court of Chancery within six kalendar months next after the exe- cution thereof." It is pretty evident that the provisions of the Mortmain Act are not generally known ; otherwise testators would be more careful when making their last Wills and testaments. It may be said that any one wishing to •dispose of a large sum of money for charitable purposes would naturally consult a solicitor as to the best mode of procedure, but it is a well-known fact that many wealthy and eccentric individuals dislike this course ; hence the reason of so many " Wills of their Own " being made and upset. 74 HEIRS- AT-LAW VS. CHARITIES. 75 The Mortmain Act appears to have been passed for the benefit of IIeh*s-at-Law and Next of Kin, as instances are not unknown of relatives being entirely '^cut off" by a whimsical testator giving, in a pet, his whole fortune to eleemosynary uses but testators of this class cannot be too careful in framing their Wills, as may be seen by the following cases : A testator gave his real and personal estate for building or purchasing a chapel ; if any surplus, the same to go towards support of the minister, and, if further surplus, to charitable purposes, as executor should think fit. This trust was held to be wholly void ; the real estate went to the Heir, and the personalty to the Next of Kin. In another case, a testator gave his residuary estate for the purpose of bringing up children in the Roman Oathohc faith. Here the fund did not go as the testator intended, nor did it go to the Next of Kin, but to the Crown, to be disposed of for some other charitable use under the Royal Sign Manual. A case decided by the Master of the Rolls, known as " Smith's Poor Kin Case," arising out of a charitable bequest made 250 years ago, has given rise to a good deal of discussion. The facts were these: In 1627 Alderman Smith bequeathed £1,000 to be invested in land of the value of £60 a year, the income to be distributed for the relief and ransom of cap- tives taken by the Turkish pirates. Also a further sum of £1,000, to be invested in like manner, the income to be applied for the rehef of the poorest of his kindred — such as were not able to work for their living, namely, — " sick, aged, and impotent persons, and such as could not main- tain their own charge." In pursuance of this benevolent testator's wishes, an estate was bought at Kensington, and the income applied as directed by the terms of the Will. In course of time the value of the estate increased 23rodigiously, and so did the poor kindred ; there were only four in 1700. but in 1877 they numbered no less than 700. The estate is now Talued at upwards of £11,000 a year. In 1772, the trustees having long since ceased to apply one moiety of the income for the relief of captives taken by Turkish pirates, obtained an Act of Parliament enabling them to apply the whole income for the ben- efit of the Poor Kin of Smith. The Charity Commissioners made inquiry with a view to the preparation of a scheme for the better management of these funds, and found that in 1772 there were only fifteen poor kindred entitled to share therein. In 1807 there w^ere twelve families claimants, and in 1830 there were fourteen families, numbering in the aggregate 100 adults, recipients of, or candidates for, a share of Alderman Smith's bounty. In 1868 the 412 "poor" kindred lived in 110 households in the United Kingdom, France, and the Colonies. The claimants on this Charity comprise persons who were apparently never intended to be bene- fited by the terms of the original bequest. For instance, a retired drug- gist, a retired surgeon, a wholesale grocer, a gentleman (occupation not given), a surgeon, and a music master — these claimants admit, for the purposes of apportionment, that the income of each exceeds £300 a year. One claimant asks for the payment of a governess for his children ; and another (who is described as an actor, a refreshment house keeper, and a cupper) begs for assistance to go to the seaside ; another (a reduced pen- sioner) has £440 a year. One annuitant is described as occasionally -coming to receive her dole (£40) with black eyes, saying " she had fallen •down." One of Alderman Smith's poor kin is represented as ragged and •destitute, and had, by his own statement, " been dying of consumption for 76 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. above twenty years ;" another, who had once been a soldier, and after- wards a bootmaker, had been in prison for deserting his family, while another is described as a regular beggar, in whose family the charity had done much mischief. Another claimant wrote to the trustees thus : ^'GENTLEMEi^: I take the liberty of writeing again to inform you that I was entitled to my allowance at Christmas, and 1 don't see why I should be kept seven months witliout it. It his my right, and I did not send to ask for it till I inherrited it. If you will not send it to me, I will come and see the Trustees about it, and I shall expect you to pay my expenses there and back. I am almost distressed. I owe £8 for rent and £4 for clothes, and £3 10s. for provisions, and I have not got one shilling towards paying either of the bills, and I think it is very hard you Avill not send me my allowance and it his my rights, and which I ought to have had it last Christmas." The Charity Commissioners have been directed to frame a new Scheme, and to apply a portion of the income to general charitable use. Judging by letters in the Times from Alderman Smith's Next of Kin, the decision of the Master of the Rolls has caused great dismay in the camp of the Smiths ; they claim the whole fund, and regard appropriation of any portioQ thereof to general charitable uses as " confiscation." Cases of a similar kind are exceedingly numerous. The following- illustrates how uncertainly the Mortmain Act works: — A gentleman devised a freehold estate to trustees in trust to sell it, and pay the pro- ceeds, together with his residuary personal estate, to the trustees of the British Museum, to be by them employed for the benefit of that institu- tion. The question was whether this devise was void under the Mortmain Act. Counsel for the trustees of the Museum contended that the British Museum was not a charitable institution. It was founded by the munifi- cence of the State for the benefit of the public. Every gift for the use of the public is not necessarily a charity. The Museum is National property, and for that reason it was held in Thellusson v. Woodford that the devise to the King for the use of the Sinking Fund was good. Counsel for the Heir-at-Law contended that the British Museum was no more National property than a Hospital or College of Royal foundation, and that the devise was void as being within the Statute of Mortmain. The Vice- Chancellor decided in favor of the Heir-at-Law, observing " that it had long been settled that a gift of the price of land is, in effect, a gift of land under the Mortmain Act. In Mr. Thellusson's Will there was a residuary- gift, in certain events, towards payment of the National Debt ; but those events had not happened, nor probably never would happen ; and na decision had been given as to the validity of that gift. In this Will there is no such gift to the Nation, but a gift to an institution established by the Legislature for the collection and preservation of objects of science and of art, partly supplied at the public expense, and partly from individual liber- ality." The Vice-Chancellor added: — "I consider that every gift for a public purpose, whether local or general, is within the Mortmain Act,, although not a charitable use within the common and narrow sense of these words ; and consequently, I must declare this devise void as to the real estate." Having shown how easy it is for a charitable donor's intentions to be frustrated by legal technicalities, it may be convenient to give a note of one or two cases where charitable bequests have been held to be valid. HEIRS-AT-LAW VS. CHARITIES. 77 A bequest to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the time being, to be appropriated to the benefit and advantage of G-reat Britain, was held to be valid as a charitable bequest, as far as regarded property of a personal nature, but not as regarded realty. In another case, a testator by his will directed that a sum not exceed- ing £50 a year should be paid to a literary man, preference to be given to one not more than forty years of age. By a codicil he declared that his object was to give what little assistance he could to a worthy literary per- son who had not been very successful in his career, and. as far as possible, to enable him to assist in extending the knowledge of those subjects in the various branches of literature to which the testator had turned his atten- tion : — " Held, that, provided the literary works of the testator were con- sistent with religion and morality, this was a charity to which the law of England would give effect." Many a poor author has probably had cause to rejoice that this benevolent testator's intentions were not frus- trated. The following amusing anecdote is from the Pall Mall Gazette. It may be safely termed " An Unintentional Benefaction," and will be read with regret by expectant legatees : *• A gentleman who had been dining, *not wisely, but too well,' in the course of the evening drew a check for a large amount, and, having signed it, poked it, by means of a stick, into a box placed at the gates of a char- itable institution to receive the donations of passers-by. When he regained his sobriety the next morning, he remembered with horror his liberality of the previous night, and addressed a moving appeal to the Managers of the institution in question to restore the amount of the check, which he found had been cashed before he had time to dress himself or drink one bottle of soda-water. As it was found that the unfortunate man had absolutely left himself penniless, the Managers, it is believed, kindly allowed him a small sum, to carry him on till the next quarter ; but the shock was too much for him, and, after a few days of intense mental agony, he fell into a state of total abstinence, from which he never rallied." Disputes between Heirs-at-Law and Charities are very common, and the cases above noticed are sufficient for the purpose of showing that Heirs-at-Law and lN"ext of Kin not unfrequently take the benefit of a bequest intended for some Charity. — Preston's Unclaimed Money. CHAPTER XII. BANK OE ENGLAND-UNCLAIMED DITL DENDS; AMONG- things not generally known is the fact that there annually lapses to the Government a very large sum from Unclaimed Divi- dends, presumably by reason of the representatives of the original Stock- holders not being known to the Bank of England authorities. A recent Parliamentary Paper shows that on January 4, 1882, tha Dividends due and not demanded amounted to ' £818,909 12s. 6d., of which sum there was advanced to the Government £756,739 Os. 9d. The sums thus advanced to the Government are applied pursuant to the provisions of certain Acts of Parliament towards the reduction of the National Debt. Too much publicity cannot be given to the fact that these Unclaimed Dividends belong to the representatives of deceased Stockholders ; they only await legitimate claimants proving their title as such representatives,, prior to being re-transferred from the Commissioners for the reduction of the National Debt. In 1870, an Act was passed with the short title of the National Debt Act, which consolidated, with amendments, certain enactments relating to the National Debt. The provisions with reference to Unclaimed Dividends are collected together in Part VIII. of the Act. They are so important to the public, and the terms thereof so little known, that it may be useful to state their effect fully. Section 51 provides that all Stock, no dividend whereon is claimed for ten years shall be transferred in the books of the Bank of Eng- land to the National Debt Commissioners. Section 52 provides that, immediately after every such transfer, the following particulars shall be entered in a list to be kept by the Bank : — (1) The name in which the Stock stood immediately before the transfer ; ("Z) The residence and description of the parties ; (3) The amount transferred ; and (4) The date of the transfer ; such lists to be open for inspection at the usual hours of transfer ; duplicates of each^list to be kept at the office of the National Debt Commissioners. Section 53 relates to the mode of transfer, which is to be deemed as effectual to all intents as if signed by the person in whose name the Stock then stands. Section 54 deals with subsequent Dividends. It provides that where *See page 8 for rate of fees for searching the Bank records for Unclaimed Deposits. 7a BANK OF ENGLAND— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 79f Stock is transferred, all Dividends accruing thereon after the transfer shall be paid to the National Debt Commissioners, and shall be from time' to time invested by them in the purchase of other like Stock, to be placed ta their account of Unclaimed Dividends. All such Dividends, and the Stock arising from the public investment thereof, shall be held by those Com- missioners, subject to the claims of the parties entitled thereto. Section 55 relates to re-transfer and payment to persons showing title- It is in substance as follows : — Re-transfer may be made to any person: showing his right thereto. In case the authorities are dissatisfied with th& claimant's title, he may by petition, in a summary way, state and verify his claim to the Court of Chancery and the Court may make such Order thereon, touching the Stock, Dividends, and costs of application, as to the Court seems just. Section 56 provides that three months' notice must be given before re-transfer or payment, where the Stock or Dividends claimed exceed £20. Section 57 provides that Advertisements as to the re-transfer shall be inserted in one or more newspapers circulating in London and elsewhere. Where any such Advertisement is ordered by the Court of Chancery, it is. to state the purport of the Order. Section 58 provides that at any time before re-transfer of Stock or pay- ment of dividend to a claimant, application may be made to the Court of Chancery to rescind or yary any Order made for re-transfer or payment thereof. Section 59. — It may be desirable to give this Section in extenso, as it relates to cases w'here a second claimant appears : — "Where any stock or dividends having been re -transferred or paid as aforesaid to a claimant by either Bank is or are afterwards claimed by another person, the Bank and their officers shall not be responsible for the same to such other claimant, but he may have recourse against the person to whom the re-transfer or payment w^as made." Section 60. This contains a very important proviso as to second claimants : — " Provided that if in any case a new claimant establishes his title to any Stock or Dividends re -transferred or paid to a former claimant, and is unable to obtain transfer or payment thereof from the former claimant, the Court of Chancery shall, on application by petition by the ncAV claim- ant, verified as the Court requires, order the National Debt Commissioners to transfer to him any such sum in Stock, and to pay to him such sum in money or Dividend as the Court thinks just." This is good news for persons who have been defrauded by reason of a fictitious claim having been made to Stock and Dividends justly their own. Such cases are unfortunately not without precedent. Section 61 relates to payment of Unclaimed Dividends to the National Debt Commissioners. .:. " Section 62 relates to Unclaimed Stock, consisting of Stock Certificates and Unclaimed Coupons. These are dealt with in a similar manner as nearly as may be to Unclaimed Stock and Dividends thereon. Section 63 enables the Treasury to empower the Bank of England or of Ireland to investigate the circumstances of any Stock or Dividends remaining unclaimed, wdth a view to ascertain the OAvners thereof, and allow to them such compensation for their trouble and expenses as to the Treasury seems just. Section 66 grants indemnity to the Banks of England and Ireland BO MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. and their officers m respect of such re-transfers as aforesaid ; they are to be in no way responsible to any person having or claiming any interest in such Stocks and Dividends. From a careful perusal of the foregoing provisions, it would appear that the Legislature has provided proper means for dealing with Unclaimed Dividends of the Bank of England, — First, by applying them towards the reduction of the National Debt, and secondly, for re-transfer from the Com- missioners to persons entitled thereto on proper proofs of identity being produced to the authorities. I am often asked why Dividends continue to remain Unclaimed year after year, and my answer is, that in many cases (owing to the lapse of time and other reasons) it is very difficult to trace the legal personal represent- atives of the original Stockholders, and the State will, therefore, always have a large annual " windfall." Many years ago the Bank of England authorities published Lists containing the names and descriptions of Stock- holders entitled to Unclaimed Dividends, and the public were largely bene- fited thereby ; but it was stated that such publication offered facilities for fraud, hence their discontinuance. It seems rather hard that the majority of persons interested in these funds should suffer for the delinquencies of a few black sheejD, and it is utterly impossible to believe that the Bank of England Solicitors (to whom, doubtless, any questionable claim would be referred) could be deceived in many cases. The means adopted by the Bank authorities for endeavoring to find claimants in the present day are, I believe, of a very limited character ; they address a communication to the parties supposed to be interested, acquainting them that their names appear on the Bank books, and that, if they will take measures to establish any claim they may have, all proper assistance will be afforded them. As 1 have stated above, it is almost impossible, in many cases, for the Bank authorities to trace the persons really interested, and the fact of large sums being annually applied towards the reduction of the INational Debt, arising from Unclaimed Dividends, would seem to show that more publicity is necessary in the interests of Heirs-at-Law and. Next of Kin. Many thousands of persons are more or less interested in these dividends, (the Stockholders number nearly 250,000), and the more accessible Lists like those above referred to are made, the more chance would there be of the grand total of Unclaimed Dividends being reduced. A specimen of an Advertisement issued by the Bank of England with reference to Unclaimed Dividends is subjoined : — " Bank of Ej^glai^d. — Unclaimed Dividends. — Applications having been made to the Governors of the Bank of England to direct the payment of Two Dividends on the sum of £10,500 Consolidated £3 per cent, annui- ties, heretofore standing in the name of .... deceased, and which Divi- dends were paid over to the Commissioners for the Eeduction of the National Debt, in consequence of the first thereof having remained unclaimed since • • • * Notice is Hereby Given, that, on the expiration of three months from this date, the said Dividends will be paid to ... . one of the Execu- tors of .... deceased, who has claimed the same unless some other claim- ant shall sooner appear and make out his claim thereto." A remarkable case came before the late Vice-Chancellor Malins, in which it appeared that a lady died at Marseilles at the great age of ninety- eight, who, though entitled to £56,000 in the Funds, and to more than £20,000 accumulated dividends, was constantly borrowing money from her BANK OF ENGLAND-UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 81 relatives ; from which fact, it may be inferred, that this large deposit had escaped the aged lady's memory. The following are extracted from Lists of Unclaimed Dividends pub- lished by the Bank of England. The numbers after the dates denote the number of Dividends due when the Unclaimed Dividends were transferred to the Commissioners, for the Eeduction of the National Debt. NAME. ADDRESS. DATE.

It is also custodian of boxes deposited in its cellars for safe custody. It is a pity that these boxes are not overhauled after the lapse of a certain number of years, and their contents advertised. It has occasionally oozed out that many of these consignments are not only of rare intrinsic and historical value, but of great romantic interest. For instance, some years ago the servant? of the Bank of England discovered in its vaults a chest, which, on being moved, literally fell to pieces. On examining the contents a quantity of massive plate, of the period of Charles IL, was discovered, along with a bundle of old love-letters indited during the period of the Restoration. The Directors of the Bank caused search to be made in their books, — the representative of the original depositor of the box was discovered, and the plate and love-letters handed over. — Prestonh Unclaimed Money. The following clipped from a newspaper of Hartford, Connecticut, of date of December, 1883, shows that unclaimed dividends and deposits are not a thing peculiar to the Bank of England : " Returns received by the State Controller to this date show that there are in the several savings-banks deposits unclaimed for twenty years aggregating -^69,000, and it is estimated that further reports to be received will bring the aggregate up to nearly $100,000. There are 705 depositors, averaging 898 each, whose accounts have not been disturbed for the period named or longer, and whose whereabouts are unknown to the officials of the banks. In Connecticut this unclaimed property does not escheat to the State, and the bank managers have earnestly fought every proposition for thus disposing of it or looking to such publicity regarding the individual deposits as would tend to enlighten heirs or others. News- paper publication of the list was defeated before the Legislature, and the original bill was so emasculated that, as passed, it calls only for an annual statement of the names of and amounts due depositors, to be filed with the State Controller. Such a list gives next to nothing in the way of informa- tion, and when filed in a public office and not published in any form it is useless. The Legislature will be asked next month to change all this, and to require that the banks give the last known residence and all other inf orma- 82 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. tion in their possession regarding depositors. One single bank — the Society for Savings — in this city holds 152,000 of unclaimed deposits due 570 depositors, one having $2,964 to his credit and four others over $1,000 each. The New Haven Bank has seventy-five depositors who have not disturbed their deposits for twenty years or more, and several other banks from four to thirty each. It is a somewhat remarkable fact that the banks in the seaport towns, which might be supposed to have a considerable number of depositors lost at sea, make a comparatively small showing as contrasted with banks on inland towns and cities. The smallest unclaimed deposit in any bank is 52 cents, due one Julia Ennis, who, twenty years ago or more, did not think it worth while to draw some odd pennies of her deposit. There is but one other missing depositor reported by that bank in Southport, and against Julia Ennis's 52 cents, he has $711.11 to his credit." For the lovers of the curious we append the following singular co-in- cidence in relation to bank notes : " On one occasion the Bank of England proved much too accommo- dating for its own interests. Somewhere about the year 1840 one of its own Directors, a man of wealth and of unimpeachable honor, bought an estate for £30,000, and for convenience sake obtained a note for that amount. On returning home, just as he was about to put it under lock and key, he was called out of the room, and placed the note on the mantel- piece. On coming back, a few minutes later, no note was to be seen. 'No one had entered the room in his absence, and, after an anxious search, he came to the conclusion that the precious bit of paper had fallen into the fire and been consumed. Hurrying off to Threadneedle Street he told his colleagues what had happened, and they gave him a second note upon hi& undertaking to restore the lost one if it should come again into his hands, and, in case of its being presented by anybody else, repay the amount to the bank. Thirty years afterward, when he had long been dead and his estate distributed among his heirs, the supposed non-existent note turned up at the bank counter, where it was presented for payment. All explanation of the circumstances connected with it were lost upon the presentee — the note had come to him from abroad in the course of business, and it must be honored without delay. There being no help for it, he was paid the £30,000. Application was made to the representatives of the defunct- Director to refund the money, but they promptly disclaimed their liability, and the bank perforce had to put up with the loss. The story goes that it was discovered (how or when we are not informed) that the builder em- ployed to pull down the dead man's house, preparatory to rearing a new one on the site, had found the note in a crevice of the chimney, and kept it and his own counsel until he thought it was safe to reap the reward of his patience and unscrupulousness, and so became a rich man at a stroke. The executors of Sir Eobert Burdett found no less than £270,000 worth of bank notes scattered here and there about his house, some slipped into bundles of old papers, some between the leaves of books, with- out a memorandum anywhere to apprise them of the existence of such valuables, much less of their whereabouts. A little better advised were the executors of the gentleman who left behind him a scrap of paper marked " Seven hundred pounds in Till," although they failed to inter- pret its meaning until they had disposed of all the dead man's belong- ings. When one of them recollected that his library had contained a. BANK OF ENGLAND— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 83 folio edition of Tillotson's Sermons, and wondered if "Till" had any ref- erence to it. The books had been sold to a bookseller, who luckily had not found a customer for them, although he had sent them on approval to a gentleman at Cambridge, who had returned them as not answering his expectations. The executor bought the Tillotson back again, and going carefully through the yolume, recovered notes to the amount of $2,500. The watchman of a factory at New Haven, Conn., afforded the ad- mhiistrators of his estate no clew whatever as to the hiding-place of the savings, of which they believed him to have died possessed. Overhauhng his clothes preparatory to selling them by auction, one of them threw an old overcoat aside, when a dirty piece of cloth dropped out of one of the pockets. On examination tlais was found to be wrapped around a large cartridge shell, within which lay notes of $1,800 value, which, but for a mere chance, might unexpectedly have enriched a purchaser of second-hand clothing. Some sixty years since a Bank of England £5 note was paid into a Liverpool merchant's office in the ordinary course of business. On holding it up to the light to test its genuineness the Cashier saw some faint red marks upon it. Examining them closely, he traced some half- effaced words between the printed lines and upon the margin of the note, written apparently in blood. After a long and minute scrutiny he made out the words : " If this note should fall into the hands of John Dean, of Longhill, near Carlisle, he will learn hereby that his brother is languishing a prisoner in Algiers." The merchant immedi- ately communicated with Mr. Dean, and he lost no time in bringing the matter before the Government. Inquiries were set on foot, and the unfortunate man discovered and ransomed. He had been a slave to the Dey of Algiers for eleven years Avhen the message he had traced with a splinter of wood dipped in his own blood reached the Liverpool counting-house. Liberty, however, came too late; the privations and hardships of the galleys*^ had sapped his strength, and, although he was brought home to England, it was but to die. CHAPTER XIII. BANKEUPTCY-UNCLAIMED DITIDENDS. BEFORE quoting statistics concerning Unclaimed Dividends in Bank- ruptcy, it may not be out of place here to give a few extracts from the Bankruptcy Laws of the olden time. One of the earlier statutes prescribes the following penalty for the fraudulent conveying away of goods : — '' If, on indictment, a bankrupt shall be convicted, he or she so convicted shall be set in the pillory in some public place for the space of two hours, and one of his or her ears nailed to the pillory and cut off." Persons fraud- ulently claiming the estate of a bankrupt were thus dealt with: — " If at any time before or after a person becomes a bankrupt, any per- sons do fraudulently, or by collusion, claim, demand, recover, possess, or detain any debts, duties, goods, chattels, lands, or tenements, by writing, trust or otherwise, which were or shall be due, belonging, or appertaining to any such offender, other than such as he or they can and do prove to be due by right and conscience .... every such person shall forfeit and lose double as much as he or they shall so claim." After the creditors were satisfied, forfeitures were disposed of thus : — '^One moiety to the Commis- sioners of Bankrupts to be paid unto the Queen's Majesty, Her Heirs and Successors, and the other moiety thereof .... employed and distributed to, and amongst the poor within the hospitals in every city, town, or county where any such bankrupt shall happen to be." The disposal of one moiety of these forfeitures amongst the poor in hospitals no one would be disposed to cavil at — why the other moiety should go to the Queen's Majesty is not so clear. As recently as the year 1761, a person named Parrott was executed at Smithfield for fraudulently concealing the true state of his affairs from his creditors. A few years later on (in 1772) a noted firm of bankers stopped pay- ment. The event is thus dilated on in the newspapers of the day : — "It is almost impossible to describe the general consternation in the Metropolis at this instant. No event for 50 years past has been remem- bered to have given so fatal a blow both to trade and public credit ; an universal bankruptcy was expected ; the stoppage of almost every banking house in London was looked for ; the whole city was in an uproar ; many of the best families in tears .... caused by the rumor that one of the greatest bankers in London had stopped payment, which afterwards proved true The principal merchants assembled, and means were immediately concerted to revive trade and restore the national credit." Considering the distress the failure of a large firm causes, who can wonder .'at the penalties being so severe, in days gone by, for fraudulent bankruptcy? 84 BANKRUPTCY— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 85 In the 3^ear 1876 an Act had to be obtained arising out of the winding- up of the Western Bank of Scotland. That bank stopped payment in 1857, with habilities amounting to nearly nine millions, and after the lapse of twenty years the fund, in the shape of Unclaimed Dividends, etc., remain- ing to be dealt with was £10,368. In the Liquidators' balance-sheet it is curious to note the alarming difference between nominal and estimated assets, thus : — Credits and overdrawn accounts, etc., set down in the Com- pany's books at £^,800,000, or thereabouts, are estimated to realize the in- significant sum of £-139 18s. 3d. A still more gigantic liquidation than that of the Western Bank of Scotland was that of the City of Glasgow Bank, which failed in 1878, and caiised wide-spread ruin and misery. The liabilities were about £14,400, 000, with very small available assets. Two calls were made, one of £500, the other of £2,250, in respect of each £100 of stock. These enormous calls enabled the Liquidators to pay off the great bulk of the liabilities, and in 1882 an Act was passed transferring the remaining assets and lia- bilities to the " Assets Company." The balance-sheet showed that no less than £260,000 in the shape of interest could be claimed by creditors, and that no claims had been lodged in respect of £54,143 17s. 7d. The names of the persons entitled to these large sums have never been published. Acts of Parliament with reference to Bankruptcy have from time to time been passed, bat, judging from correspondence in the newspapers, they have failed to give entire satisfaction to the public. A Memorial pre- sented to Earl Cairns, when Lord Chancellor, contains some striking de- tails concerning Unclaimed Dividends in Bankruptcy, of which the follow- ing is a summary : — In 1864 the Chief Registrar of the Bankruptcy Court stated before a Select Committee of the House of Commons that there was a fund called the "Unclaimed Dividend Account," producing £45,000 a year; that under the Trust Deed Clauses of the Act of 1861, and also under certain sections of the Act of 1869, very large sums had been received by trustees, none of whom were liable to any official supervision, or even rendered, as far as could be discovered, any amount of Unclaimed Dividends or undi- vided surplus to any person whatever. The value of bankrupts' estates and of estates administered under trust deeds during the period between 1864 and 1876 was £68,817,221 10s. The Memorial proceeds : — " It Avill be seen that under Bankrupts' estates more than 30 per cent of the assets remain undivided at the end of the year, and that nearly £22,000 per annum has been paid to the Consol- idated Fund from Unclaimed Dividends. The estates under liquidations and compositions are more than four times the value of bankrupt estates, and must therefore yield at the least nearly £90,000 a year in Unclaimed Dividends ; . . . . also unemployed balances of at least a million and a half. Innumerable cases have been brought under my notice in which creditors under petitions for liquidation, which have been filed for months, have neither been able to get any dividend nor any information whatever respecting their debtors' estate, until, wearied by unavailing efforts, they have retired in hopeless disgust." The foregoing probably in some degree accounts for the enormous sums lyinof idle in the shape of Unclaimed Dividends. In 1877 the Secretary to the Mercantile Law Amendment Society wrote a long letter to the Times, which was characterized by the leading 86 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. journal as an important and interesting document. We extract from it the following: — '' The figures to which I am now about to refer are so important that I trust they will be carefully considered. I venture to think they deserve the special consideration. of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It appears from the Comptroller's Return that on 31st December last, there remained in the hands of trustees under Bankrupts' estates, undistributed assets amounting to £441,364 2s. lOd., and that in the Bank of England there was a sum of £10,784 18s. 5d., being Unclaimed Dividends remaining after the close of bankruptcies .... immense sums of money in these cases must remain in the hands of trustees in the form of Unclaimed Dividends. Why should the Unclaimed Dividends be kept by these ad- venturers? .... Between 1862 and 1871 the gross value of the estates dealt with under tbe Bankruptcy Acts, 1861 and 1869, amounted to the immense sum of £74,564,326 All Unclaimed Dividends and undi- vided surpluses have been kept by the trustees It would be very difficult to estimate with accuracy the actual amount of Unclaimed Divi- dends now in the hands of trustees, but there can be no doubt that there is at least seven or eight millions of money." Some persons may possibly desire to be enlightened as to the prospect of obtaining their share of the funds referred to. The following section from the Bankruptcy Act of 1869 shows that Unclaimed Dividends may be recovered at any time, on proper reasons being given for the delay in sending in claims : — " 116. Where any dividends remain unclaimed for five years, then and in every such case the same shall be deemed vested in the Crown, and shall be disposed of as the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury direct : Provided that at any time after such vesting the Lord Chancellor or any Court authorized by him may by reason of the disability or absence beyond seas of the person entitled to \ he sum so vested, or for any other reason appearing to him sufficient, direct that the said sum shall be repaid out of money provided by parliament." A perusal of the foregoing facts will probably be sufficient to show what an important unit in the fabulous sums of money awaiting claimants are Unclaimed Dividends in Bankruptcy. There appeared in the Times, some years ago, a letter from *^ An Ex- ecutor," complaining bitterly of the delay in distributing Dividends ; in this case the published correspondence showed that £900 had quite escaped notice for upwards of ten years, and the editor of the City article of the Times, w^hen commenting on the case, said : — ^' Were a Parliamentary Re- turn of the residues of estates in the hands of trustees in Bankruptcy to be ordered, people would be startled at the totals it would reveal." Various attempts have been made by successive Governments to amend the law of Bankruptcy. Most of the Bills have contained a clause providing for the transfer to the Crown of all Undistributed Assets and Unclaimed dividends (estimated by the Comptroller at about £5,000,000). Before such transfer takes place the names and addresses of the creditors entitled, with the amounts divisible, should be published in the leading newspapers, so that they or their representatives may have a fair chance of making good their claims. By omitting sums under £5 as not worth the expense of recovery, the cost of advertising -would be defrayed. — Pres- torCs Unclaimed Momy. We have had no opportunity of searching Records to ascertain even BANKRUPTCY— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 87 the approximate amount of Unclaimed Dividends in Bankruptcy in the Courts of the United States, but we know that in the aggregate the a.mount is yery large. Not in large sums to any one creditor, but in a multitude of small ones. The creditor of any Bankrupt having even a suspicion that a dividend may be remaining unclaimed, to his credit, would do well to inform this BUREAU of the fact, and have an investiga- tion, as it will cost but a trifle. CHAPTER XIV MISERS. THERE is every reason to believe that the hoards of money and other valuables one so often reads of as having been discovered by workmen while engaged in pulling down old houses, have been secreted by Misers ; the result is that, in many cases, property thus found is taken possession of by persons whom the JVIisers never intended to benefit — namely, their Heirs-at-Law and ]N"ext of Kin. It is pretty certain that misers of both sexes existed ages ago, as they do in our own day, and the following notes concerning some notable examples of this class of monomaniacs may not be uninteresting. Of these- who made it a rule of their lives to — " Gather gear by every wile," the case' of M. Osterwald, who died at Paris in 1791, is remarkble, as showing that, the richest man in a city may also be the most miserable one. He was the son of a poor minister, and began life as a clerk in a banking-house, at Hamburg, where he acquired a small sum, which he augmented by his S]3eculations in business and his economical mode of living ; he afterwards came to Paris, where he accumulated his enormous fortune. He was a bachelor — the expenses of a wife and children 'being incompatible with his frugal mode of living. He had for a servant, a poor wretch, whom he never permitted to enter his apartment ; he had always promised that at his death he should be handsomely recompensed, and accordingly he left him a pit^ tance of six months' wages and a suit of clothes, but, as he expressly stated, " not the most new." A few days before his death some of his acquaint- ances, who saw that he was reduced to the last extremity by want of nour- ishment, proposed to him to have some soup. ^'^Yes, yes," he replied, ^4t is easy to talk of soup — but what is to become of the'meat ?" Thus died one who was reported to be the richest man in Paris, more from want of care and proper nourishment than from disease. He is stated to have left to relations, whom he had probably never seen, the sum of three millions sterling. Under his bolster were found eight hundred thousand livres in paper money. A miser died in Paris in 1880, leaving property supposed to be worth about £60. Some" time elapsed before the heir presented himself, but on his doing so, a search Avas made in the miser's apartment, and no less a sum than £32,000 was discovered in a cupboard. The cases of these French misers strikingly illustrate the truth of the following lines : — To heirs unknown descends the unguarded store, Or wanders heaven-directed to the poor. MISERS. 89 In a recent case, — that of William Ehodes, known as the Homislow miser, — two charities benefited large!}' by the miser's hoards. He %Tas. worth nearly £80,000, all of which he left to the Royal Free Hospital and the lifeboat Institution. The miser's nephews and nieces tried to upset the will, but it was upheld, the two charities consenting to pay 1,000 guineas to the Xext of Kin. It is said that this miser commenced his savings hy pickino^up cio-ar-ends and other unconsidered trifles. His household effects, fetched £5 ITs. A still more extraordinary case is that of an English lady, who died in 1766, in a lodging-house near the Broadway, in Deptford, at the age of 96. Her name was Mary Luhorne. For upwards of forty years she lived in Greenwich and Deptford in the most penurious manner, denying; herself the common necessaries of life. She Avas known not to have had any fire or candle in her apartment for fourteen years prior to her death. She f re- quentlv begged on the high roads when she went on business to the city. IN'otwitlistanding her wretched way of life, after her death there were found securities in the Bank, South Siea, East India, and other Stocks to the amount of £40,000 and upwards, besides jewels and other precious stones, plate, china, clothes of every kind of the richest sort, great quantities of the finest silks, linen, velvets, etc., unmade of very great value, besides a large sum of money. To whom all this treasure reverted does not appear ; it is to be hoped the miser's N"ext of Kin came in for a share of it. The neighborhood where Mary Luhorne died seems to be still famous for its misers. In 1877 there died at Woolwich a Mr. John Clark, aged eighty-six. He is described as having been a man of education, but a very singular character : although reputed as immensely wealthy, he was very miserly in his habits, and lived to the last in a squalid 'hovel in the poorest, part of Woolwich : the greater portion of his life was spent in the accumu- lation of books, of which he left a large store. It was reported that the front shutters of his house had not been opened for over thirty years ; he never took a regular meal, nor did he know the taste of wines or spirits. Yet, notwithstanding that he lived in such a den and suffered such priva- tions, he reached an octogenarian age, and died worth £40,000, or there- abouts. This bookworm, as well as miser, seems to have been a strange combination of avarice aud liberality; for by his will he left no less than £6,000 to his doctor, also £5,000 to his housekeeper, besides many legacies, to local charities, and to a number of the poor neighbors by whom he was surrounded. Knowing well he could not take his wealth with him, he appears to have tried to make some reparation for a wasted life by dis- posing of his treasures with a liberal hand. What his Next of Kin said about the legacy of £6,000 to the doctor is not recorded. Bequests of this- nature are a prolific source of litigation. An instance of miserly habits in the great and noble is to be found in the case of that renowned captain, the Duke of Marlborough, of whom it is chronicled that, when in the last stage of life and very infirm, he would walk from the public room in Bath to his lodgings, on a cold, dark, night, to save sixpence in chair hire. He died worth £1,500,000. It is recorded of a Sir James Lowther that, after changing a piece of silver in George's Coffee-house, and paying twopence for his dish of coffee, he was helped into his chariot (he was then very lame and infirm), and went home. Some time after, he returned to the same coffee-house on purpose to acquaint the woman who kept it that she had given him a bad half- penny, and demanded another in exchange for it. Sir James is staced to> ^0 MARTINDALE S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. have then had about £40,000 per annum coming in, and was at a loss whom to appoint his heir. Sir Thomas Colby, an official high in office, shortened his existence by his passion for this world's goods, as appears by the following anecdote : — " He rose in the middle of the night, when he was in a very profuse per- spiration, and walked down stairs to look for the key of his cellar, which he had inadvertently left on a table in the parlor ; he was apprehensive ithat his servants might seize the key and rob him of a bottle of port wine, instead of which he himself was seized with a chill, and died intestate, leaving over £200,000 in the funds, which was shared by five or six 'day-laborers, who were his Next of Kin." Marvelous good luck for his poor relations ! Sir William Smyth, of Bedfordshire, when nearly seventy years of age, was wholly deprived of sight ; he was persuaded to be couched by a -celebrated oculist, who, by agreement, was to have sixty guineas if he restored his patient to any degree of sight. The oculist succeeded in his operation, and Sir William was able to read and write without the use of spectacles, during the rest of his life ; but as soon as Sir William perceived the good effects of the oculist's skill, instead of being overjoyed, as any ■other grateful person would have been, he began to lament the loss (as he presume that he died at any particular time during the seven years. He must, therefore, be taken to be dead, but to have outlived the testator " The foregoing is a fair specimen of many a lapsed legacy case. Nothing is more common than for persons to leave their native land,, and take no further thought of kith or kin left behind. Should the legatee above referred to ever reappear, he will doubtless be able to recover his estate from the persons now enjoying the same. Such inci- dents are not without precedent. Many very remarkable causes relating to Lapsed Legacies have been: decided by the Court of Chancerv, but it would probably be difficult tO' find one more curious in its incidents than the following, which came before Vice-Chancellor Malins, and in which a sum of £24,834 Us. 6d. Consols was in dispute. The facts were as follows : In 1869 Mr. Dun- combe, an aged Solicitor, of New Inn, Strand, died intestate, possessed of very considerable wealth. He had three children, namely, Henry Stuart Duncombe, Charles William Duncombe, and Anna Johnson, a widow. Mr. Duncombe was not on good terms with Henry Stuart, his eldest son. In 1868 that son, then sixty-six years of age, went to his father's office for pecuniary help, but the old man dismissed him with half-a-crown* 105 106 MARTINDxVLE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. From that time till the institutiou of the suit the son had never been heard •of. In 1870 advertisements were inserted as follows: "Twenty Pounds Keward. — To Eegistrars of Deaths and Parish Clerks, Tailors' Trade Societies, and Masters of Union and other Work- houses. — Wanted, information of a person named Henry Stuart Dun- combe, a journeyman tailor, much in the habit of traveling in the coun- try, and who, if living, would be 67 years of age. Was last seen in London in August, 1868. Any person who can give information as to his whereabouts, or who can supply a certificate of his death, will receive the above reward on applying to . . . ." Probably few people reading the foregoing advertisement would be likely to guess that the journeyman tailor inquired for was the son of a Solicitor and Heir to £25,000 ; and even had Mr. Duncombe seen the advertisement, he would not have been tempted to reply thereto. The notice seems carefully 3vorded to glean information as to his death. He is not even told that his father is dead, nor is he informed that on applying to So-and-so he will " hear of something to his advantage." No reply came to the advertisement in any shape or form. Mrs. Johnson (formerly Duncombe), when she married, executed a settlement by which, if Henry Stuart Duncombe predeceased her, her interest in his share of Mr. Duncombe's estate would be bound, otherwise not. She died, leaving one child only, a boy. A suit was instituted with respect to the aforesaid sum of £24,834 lis. 6d., which represented the missing son's share of his father's estate. The question was, whether the trustee's of Mrs. Johnson's settlement were entitled to the fund, or whether it was divisible among the Next of Kin of the missing legatee, assuming him to have been alive at the end of seven years from the time when he was last ^seen in London, but now dead, intestate, and unmarried. The Vice Chancellor, in his judgment, characterized the case as a most remarkable one, and after recapitulating the facts, said that having regard to the authorities, he must presume — (1) That Henry Stuart Dun- combe did survive his father ; and (2) that he was now dead. There remained another question, when did he die? Mrs. Johnson, the sister was now dead. If her brother died in her lifetime, she would, as one of his Next of Kin, have an interest in his share of the property. She had executed a settlement, and had left one child. If, however, her brother survived her, then his share would not be bound by her settlement of her interest in it. The only conclusion at which the Vice-Chancellor could arrive on this part of the case was that Henry Stuart Duncombe was now <;ertainly dead, intestate, and that his brother and nephew were his sole Next of Kin. They would, therefore, take his share of his father's property in equal moieties, and there must be a declaration accordingly. If (added the Vice-Chancellor) hereafter Henry Stuart Duncombe should be found to be living, he must resort to his brother and nephew for the repayment of the money. It was entirely his own fault that he had not made his existence known (if he did exist) ; for it was hardly likely that if he was still alive he had not seen some of the very numerous advertise- ments issued for him. The Vice-Chancellor said he himself thought that Henry Stuart Duncombe was " as dead as a door-nail." Summed up shortly, the decree was this : ^' That Henry Stuart Duncombe survived his father, and was alive at the end of seven years from the time he was last seen (August, 1868) ; that he was now dead, intestate : and that his sole Next of Kin, his brother and nephew, were now entitled to his share of Mr. Duncombe's property!" LAPSED LEGACIES. 107 Many an exciting novel has far less foundation on fact than the Henry Stuart Duncombe case. The missing Heir would be eighty years old if living now, and if he were to put in an appearance and claim this £25,000, after being dismissed from his father's presence with half-a-crown, his doing so would be the very acme of romance. The following is the note of a case decided in 1874, by the Court of Session, Scotland, after fifteen years' fruitless search for a Missing Legatee : This was an action of multiplepoinding and exoneration, instituted in 1859, at the instance of Mr. 0. M Barstow, C.A., judicial factor on the estate of the late William Maltman, of the East India Company's Service, who died at Elie, in the county of Fife, in March, 1854, leaving heritable and personal property to the value of £10,000, or thereabouts. He had several brothers and sisters, all of whom predeceased him, with the excep- tion of Gavin Maltman, who went abroad about 1814. This Gavin Malt- man, who was born in November, 1792, and who had in the course of his life wandered over a considerable portion of the West Indian Islands and North America, was last heard of at Shediac, New Brunswick, in July, 1854. Various reports of his death were sent to this country, and the Court on two occasions sent a Commission abroad to inquire into the truthfulness of these reports, but they turned out to be unfounded. The Court, in consideration of Gavin Maltman's great age, his long absence, and the fact that he had been extensively advertised for and inquired after .... ordained the Judicial Factor to divide the personal estate among the Next of Kin of Walter Maltman other than Gavin Maltman, the Next of Kin being cousins once removed, and to convey the heritable estate to the Heirs-at-Law .... on the ground that Gavin Maltman, if alive, had had ample opportunity of appearing and claiming the Succession. The passing of the Presumption of Life Limitation (Scotland) Act, 1881, has given rise to many claims by persons desirous of possessing them- selves of the estates of relatives long lost sight of. The most important provision of the Act is, that persons not heard of for seven years or upwards are assumed to be dead, and the Next of Kin may institute pro- ceedings to " uplift and enjoy" their estates and property. There will doubtless be some cases of hardship arising, by reason of the missing Heirs-at-Law returning home after the seven years limit and finding their estates distributed among their affectionate relatives. Incidents of this kind are on record,- but I have only space for the following remark- able case : — " In 1761 a certain French astronomer was sent to India by the Parisian Academy of Sciences, to watch the Transit of Venus. He arrived, unfort- unately, too late ; but he had the patience to remain eight years in that country till the Transit of 1769. Ill-luck, however, still pursued him, for the state of the atmosphere prevented him from witnessing the second Transit. He then returned to France, where he found his friends under the impression that he had been dead and buried for years. His heirs were already in possession of his property." The foregoing jottings are sufficient for the purpose of drawing atten- tion to the fact, that large sums of money not unf requently lapse to Heirs- at-Law and Next of Kin, owing to the legatee not being traceable. — Preston's Unclaimed Money. CHAPTER XVir. MISSING EELATIVES. THERE is an old saying, " Out of sight, out of mind/' and in many cases it is doubtless only too true, but at Christmas and on f estiva occasions when families meet together, there is no toast more heartily drank than that of ^'The Absent Ones." Some of these missing ones may have been lost sight of for years, and of their whereabouts it has not been pos- sible to glean the slightest intelligence, though every known channel likely to afford the much-wished-for news has been resorted to. Enormous sums are annually spent in searching after Missing Relatives and Friends ; in many cases these searches are crowned with success, while in others every effort proves abortive. Scores of people at present belonging to a circle below that of the " Upper Ten" have really fair grounds for expecting a change of fortune in the right direction some day, but they lack the necessary clue on which all their hopes turn. It has frequently happened that a long-forgotten relative has been brought to remembrance by the delightful surprise of a substantial legacy, the news being conveyed through the medium of a news- paper Advertisement. Of such an announcement the following is a speci- men: — "Particular Notice. — Missing Relatives. — Frederick Foot and B. Foot (sons of Matthew Foot, late of Enniskerry, in the county of Wicklow, Ireland, deceased), who left Ireland in the year 1859, for the United States, of America, are requested to communicate without delay to Solicitor, who can inform them of something to their advantage. Any information relating to the above parties will be thankfully received. Advertisements of the following kind are also very numerous ; they are invaluable as a means of tracing Missing Relatives : — "Missing Relative. — Thomas Allen or his Representative, who> went from London to Australia about 22 years ago, will hear of something to their advantage by applying to " The following must have been especially gratifying to the testator's poor relatives ; it is the only Advertisement of the kind I have come across : — " Pursuant to a Decree of the High Court of Chancery, made in the cause of such of the Poor &lations of Francis Hodgson, late of Lane House, in the County of Lancaster, Gentleman (who died some- time in the month of February, 1785), to whom he did not, in and by his. last Will and Testament, give any Legacy, are to come in and prove their kindred and relationship " Here is another curious Missing Relative Advertisement :— " Information, — Any person who can give information as to the 108 MISSING RELATIVES. 109 Eelatives of Hen'Ry Ferguso:n', who died in 1808, aged 94 years, a native of America, will receive a good compensation for the favor. The said Henr}' Ferguson was found dead near the Tower, and £1,500 in Bank- notes were discovered sewn in between his clothes ; a bundle of Manuscript was found in his pocket, containing a learned " History of the Progress of the Arts and Sciences from the period of the Romans up to the year 1808," In his wretched hovel near the City a very valuable Library was also found. Apply at " The following extraordinary Advertisement appeared in 1826 ; there are doubtless numbers of people equally as anxious as the advertiser was as to an uncle's testamentary dispositions : — ^^ The Advertiser Wishes to Fiitd His Ukcle Out. — He is the son of James and Susan Hill, of Meikleham, Surrey ; Mr. Webb, of East Hisley, ; George Armon, that keeps the Post-Office, High Wickham, Buck- ingham ; Mary Disten, Church Street, Bethnal Green ; William Hill, Tot- tenham, baker ; Thomas Scott, butcher ; Elizabeth Button, of Burnham, in Essex — those are all Relations. If any person can give any informa- tion of this person, or, any of the above, so that he may K:iiiOW if they HAVE received A:^s^Y BEis^EFiT FROM HIS U]S"CLE, and where his effects lay, it being one-and -twenty years since he heard of him ; George Harmon said the effects laid at Burnham." " Whoever will endeavor to gef the property shall receive a fourth part of it, as the Advertiser is the only Male Heir to this property. Direct to " Many domestic complications result from husbands leaving their homes, as appears from the following case : — In 1850MariaDunster married John Milton, and in 1854, well-knowing that her husband was alive, she went through the marriage ceremony, by the name of Maria Dunster Chappie, with one Francis Edwards, since deceased. Mrs. Milton often saw her law- ful husband, who was a Corporal in the Devon Militia. In May, 1870, however, she went through the ceremony of marriage with another man named Henry Melhuish, who being, it was alleged, ignorant of his sup- posed wife being already married, by his Will, dated August, 1870, gave her all his real and personal estate, and appointed her sole executrix. Henry Melhuish died in 1871, and Mrs. Milton proved the Will ; the per- sonality being of the value of about £800, or thereabouts. After 1871 Mrs. Milton returned to her husband. A Chancery suit resulted, the brother of Henry Melhuish being the plaintiff, and he claimed the fund as sole Next of Kin of his deceased brother, alleging that Mrs. Milton had obtained the money by fraudulently assuming the title of his brother's wife. Mrs. Milton denied that while living with Mr. Melhuish, or at the time of going through the ceremony of marriage with him, she had ever heard of her husband, and affirmed that she had not, in fact, heard of him for nineteen years, and believed him to be dead. Such being the facts — and it would be difficult to find a parallel case — the Vice-Chancellor said he was of opin- ion that Melhuish had no certain evidence at the time of the ceremony of marriage having been performed, as to Milton being alive or dead, and he married Mrs. Milton, otherwise Edwards, notwithstanding. The Vice- Chancellor added : " It would not be safe to assume that the character of wife was the only motive for the bequest. Might not the testator have intended that she should have the property in the events that had hap- pened ? . . . . Fraud not being established, the bill must be dismissed with costs." 110 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. Here we have a case of a long lost husband turning up after nineteen years' absence on the scent of a legacy, and actually enjoying, after so long a lapse of time, the fortune left by Melhuish. Here is a curious notice by a colonist : — " If my wife Jane Young, last heard of in Sidney, in 1878, does not return or communicate with me within three months from date, I intend to marry again, — (signed) Thomas Youkg. Port Douglas, 4th August, 1882." In 1882 Sir James Hannen had to adjudicate on the following pecu- liar case. — ^' Counsel applied on behalf of Augustus Alexander de Niceville for letters of administration to the property of his father, Mr. Stanislaus de Niceville, who must reasonably be supposed to be dead, as he has not been heard of since 1831, and if he were now alive he would be 105 years of age. In his early days he held a commission in the French army, but he came to this country in 1826, and settled in Devonshire. On the breaking out of the French Eevolution he and his wife went to France. His wife re- turned to Devonshire, but kept up a correspondence with her husband till February 1831, when she ceased to hear from him. Every inquiry was made to try and trace the husband, but without avail. Madam de Nice- ville died in 1875 without having applied for letters of administration. Affidavits were read in support of these*facts, and the learned President granted the application." No thwithstanding lavish expenditure of time and money, efforts to trace Missing Eelatives occasionally prove abortive. Of this class of cases, probably the most notable instance on record is that of the search for Sir John Franklin, in the result of which many Heirs-at-Law and Next of Kin must have been interested. The main facts are these: — In 1845 the Erehus and Terror left our shores, the number of officers and men on board being 138. The last despatches were received from Baffin's Bay, July 12, 1845, when Sir John wrote most cheeringly of the prospects of the Expedition, and expressed a hope that his wife and daughter would not be over anxious if the Expedi- tion should not return by the date fixed (July, 1848) ; the latest date on which the Expedition was actually seen, was July 26, 1845 ; the ships were them moored to an iceberg, waiting for an opportunity to cross over to Lancaster Sound. In August, 1850, traces of the Expedition's first winter quarters were found by Captain Austin. In 1849 the then Board of Admiralty offered a reward of £20,000 to "any ship or ships of any country, or to any exploring party whatever which should render efficient assistance to the missing ships or their crews, or to any portion of them," — with what result is too well known. Numerous Parliamentary Eeturns have from time to time been pub- lished as to the cost of these searching expeditions, and in 1854 it was estimated that between 1848 and 1853 over £800,000 had been thus spent. From 1854 to 1874 Arctic expeditions have gone on their perilous voyages, and have returned with more or less barren results. It has been estimated that the total outlay on these magnificent enterprises cannot have been less than two million sterling ! Lady Franklin seems, to the last, to have nobly clung to the hope that tidings of her long-lost husband would be- found, for shortly before her death, in 1873, she caused the following Advertisement to be inserted in the Times : — ''Two THOUSAiiiD PouJS^DS REWARD offered by Lady Franklin ta MISSING RELATIVES. 11$ any one who will take to her, previous to the 1st of January, 1875, the whole of the Journals or other Records which he may find of the Expedi- tion of the Erebus and Terror, and which are believed to have been deposited near Point Victory on King William's land by the survivors of the expedition in 1848." The Franklin case is remarkable, not only for the amount of money spent in endeavoring to find a clew to the crews of missing ships, but also as showing the indomitable pluck and energy of British seamen in follow- ing up a forlorn hope. In 1881 a reward of £300 was offered by the Sidney Government for a clew to a party of five persons who disappeared from the Coast of Australia, 200 miles south of Sidney, on a geological survey expedition. The search for the missing expedition, however, has, thus far, proved as unsuccessful as in the Franklin case. Advertisements for Missing Relatives are increasing year by year; it would, therefore, seem as if the public found this kind of publicity answer the desired end. It cannot be too generally known that a record is kept of all such Advertisements, as it often happens that many years elapse- before they are brought under the notice of the interested parties, owing to absence beyond seas, and other causes. I take the following romantic story from a recent number of the Toronto Mail, and with it I may appropriately close these jottings on Missing Rela- tives : — "About twenty years ago a French lad was kidnapped from Montreal, and taken to sea. He followed sailing for some years, and eventually settled in Michigan, being employed by a Mining Company. A few years ago a party of emigrants arrived at the station, and being strangers, and. ignorant of the English language, they made inquiries as to the French families residing there, and were directed to the house of the young Frenchman, who gave them lodgings for the night. In the course of the evening the fact was disclosed that the emigrants and their host were originally from the same portion of the Dominion. The host repeated the story of his kidnapping. The family of emigrants had lost a sou years ago, who mysteriously disappeared, and had never since been heard of. The interest of both parties was aroused, and further questioning proved the fact that the host of the emigrant family was the long-lost son." — Preston^ s Unclaimed Money, CHAPTER XVIII. UNEXPECTED ASSETS. IT not unfrequently happens that accounts classed as '^ bad debts " in the books of many of the trading firms most unexpectedly bring in assets to the intense gratification of the creditors. One of the earliest examples of this kind of good fortune is contained in the following Advertisement extracted from the London Gazette of 1666 : — *^ Whereas, Jeremiah Snow, late of Lombard-street, Goldsmith, now living in Broad Street, did owe divers persons. Anno 1652, £8,300 : who at his desire did accept of £6,225 in full, and gave him discharges abso- lute (which was occasioned by the failing of two French Merchants, who were at that time indebted to him £3,400, but never paid him a fifth part, as by the testimonials remaining with the Public Notary it may appear), since which time it has pleased G-od to bless his endeavours with some small estate : He, therefore, in gratitude and justice, invites them to receive the full remainder of their principal money, excepting such as by his oath he shall affirm to have paid in part or in full. ^'^And he declares this publication is not for vam glory (Eetribu- tion in this kind being indispensable) nor to get more credit, but because his friends have adjudged it conveniently necessary that his Vindication might be as publick as then was the Scandal." Many a long-suffering creditor would doubtless be highly delighted to read a similar announcement to the above in the pages of some newspaper of the present day, and a perusal of this chapter will show that Unexpected Assets do often accrue for the benefit of creditors, or their representatives, long after all hope of twenty shillings in the pound has vanished. In the autobiography of Benjamin Franklin a very remarkable case of the kind is given. Speaking of Mr. Denham, a Quaker friend of his, Franklin says : — " I must record one trait of this good man's character. He had formerly been in business at Bristol, but failed, in debt to a number of people, compounded, and went to America. There, by close application to business, as a merchant, he acquired a plentiful fortune in a few years. Returning to England in the ship with me, he invited his old creditors to an entertainment, at which he thanked them for the easy composition they had favoured him with, and, when they expected nothing but the treat, every man, at his first remove, found under his plate an order on a banker for the full amount of the unpaid remainder, with interest." This good Quaker's example is worthy of imitation, and many a bankrupt who has gone through the convenient process of whitewashing, 113 UNEXPECTED ASSETS. 113 and prospered again, might take the hint Avith the prospect of a wonder- fully relieved conscience. Here is another specimen of what may be called an Unexpected Asset Adyertisement : — A fund is available for the following parties (or their representatives), who, in 1825, resided as mentioned below, on application to .... & Co., Solicitors Dublin, or ... . Solicitors .... London: — Everington & Co., Ludgate Hill. Thomas Hamilton, St. Pancras Street. Vanilton & Cai*son, Prince's Street. Jane Clarke, Regent Street. Sarah Shirley, Salisbury Square.

The foregoing notice appeared thirty years after the persons named resided at the addresses given so that in all probability something worth looking after had unexpectedly accrued for them or their representatives. Another case of the same class as the above is the following : — " Lord Alvanle/s Creditors. The folloAving Debenture Creditor's of the late Lord Alvanley have omitted to receive their final dividends, namely : — [Here follows a long List of Creditors.] The sums payable may be obtained by the parties legally entitled by applying to ... . Solicitors. The case of Ashley v. Ashley, decided, in 1876, by the Court of Appeal in Chancery, may be safely described as a remarkable Unexpected Asset case. The facts were these : — In 1748, a decree was made for the admin- istration of the personal estate of a testator then recently deceased, the decree directing that his personal estate should be apphed in payment of his debts, funeral expenses, and legacies. In 1785, the cause came on to be heard on further directions and the Master having certified that the per- sonal estate was insufficient to pay the debts, it was ordered that the testa- tor's real estate should be sold, and the proceeds brought into Court. This having been done, and certain specialty creditors who were entitled to prior charges having been paid, the Master, in June, 1792, made another Report, and in July, 1792, an Order was made that the cash therein mentioned should (after payment of cost and certain specialty debts) be divided among the simple contract creditors in proportion to the amounts due to them, and it was referred to the Master to make the apportionment. The Master made a further Report, stating the sums which were to be paid, and the majority of the creditors took out of Court the sums thus apportioned, but some of these sums were never applied for and were left unclaimed in Court for a great number of years. In the year 1867, attention was directed to these unclaimed sums, and about the same time— more than one hundred and twenty years after the testator's death — a considerable sum of money unexpectedly accrued to the estate. The Heir-at-Law of the testa- tor petitioned the Court, and an inquiry was directed to ascertain the per- sons who were entitled to the money in Court, both to the unclaimed sums and the newly accrued fund. Advertisements were issued, but only some of the creditors who had originally proved came forward. As to some of the 114 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. apportioned sums which had remained in the Court unclaimed, no represent- atives of the persons to whom those sums had been originally apportioned came forward. The persons who did re-assert their claims asked also inter- est from August, from 1792, upon the unpaid balances of their debts, and contended that they were entitled to be paid out of the moneys in Court, the full amount of their debts with interest, and that those of the creditors who had not come forward again were to be treated as having abandoned their claims altogether. The Heir-at-Law and the Next of Kin of the tes- tator also asserted their claims. The Court, however, held tliat the appor- tioned sums which had been left unclaimed were the property of the persons to whom they had originally been ordered to be paid, or their representa- tives, and that, in the absence of an Act of Parliament, there was no juris- diction to order them to be paid out to any one else. Those sums must, therefore, remain in Court till some one came forward and showed a title to them. The newly accrued fund must, under the circumstances, be appor- tioned among all the persons who were originally found to ,be creditors. The Court also held that, — " the creditors whose debts carried interest were entitled to interest on the unpaid balances of their debts from August, 1792, with this exception, that those creditors who had left their money in Court could have no interest on the money so left. In this respect they must bear the consequences of their own neglect." The foregoing case proves that it is not only possible for assets to accrue unexpectedly to an estate, but that even after the lapse of so long a period as from 1748 to 1876 the representatives of creditors can claim to share such funds. In turning over old family papers, it is no uncommon thing for one to come across accounts of many year's standing, part payment only of which has been received, owing to the debtors having got into difficulties which necessitated either the cieditors taking a composition of a few shillings in the pound, or losing the whole. These old accounts have long since been forgotten, the original creditors having died, and nothing more is done m the matter until the representatives of the deceased creditors receive a noti- fication from the Court of Chancery or the Court of Bankruptcy that a sum of money awaits distribution in the shape of Unexpected Assets. It occasionally happens that very large sums are thus distributed, as will be seen by the following Advertisement relating to the affairs of a firm of Bankers who executed a Trust Deed in 1803, and whose creditors or their representatives were inquired for over sixty years after the execution of the said Trust Deed, namely, in 1864: — " In Chancery — Whereas, in or about the month of July, 1803, a Deed of Trust was executed by Messrs bankers, for the benefit of such of the creditors of the partnership firm as should execute the said deed. And whereas, in pursuance of certain decrees or orders .... various creditors came in and proved their debts. And, whereas, various of the said creditors it is believed are dead, and it is not known who are now their legal personal representatives or the parties entitled to such debts. Now, pursu- ant to an Order .... the several persons and firms named in the schedule hereto named being creditors of the said firm at the date of the said T)eed of Trust of 1803, and who duly executed such deed, and came in before the Master and proved their debts, or the legal personal representatives of any such creditors, and all other persons claiming to be entitled to such debts, are by their Solicitors .... to come in and establish their right to such debts." UNEXPECTED ASSETS. 115 The Schedule contains the names and addresses of the original credit- ors (about 500) who signed the deed. The following were some of the largest creditors — the total amount due to creditors or their representatives was nearly £150,000 :— Names of Creditors. Thomas Dudley, Esq., deceased, rep- resentatives of Sir Jno. Kennaway, Bart., deceased, representatives of Roger PockHngton & Wm. Dickinson, late bankers, (co-partners), assignees of Residence (where known). Amount of Debt.

The fund was distributed thus : £34,160 to the late Chair- man of the Company in commutation of his annuity ; £15,000 to the then Chairman for extraordinary services ; a portion thereof to the pro- prietors ; and a further portion towards charitable objects. In 1882, the representatives of the creditors of a gentleman who died in Suffolk as long ago as 1827 were inquired for. The amount to be dis- tributed was nearly £1,200. Advertisements for Creditors or their Representatives are often over- looked by the persons interested, owing to the Advertisement not appear- ing among Next of Kin notices. The following was inserted in a long string of Trustee Relief Act Advertisements, but it contains remarkable ' good news concerning Unexpected Assets : — "Joseph Lomas, Deceased. — Whereas, Joseph Lomas, late of . . . was ... in the year 1821 .... carrying on the business of a cheese factor in partnership with .... And whereas, in or about the same year the said partners arranged with the creditors . . . .by paying a composition upon the amount of the debts due from '^hem. And whereas, the said Jo- seph Lomas died .... having by his will made certain provisions if ith respect to the payment of the balance of the debts so compounded for as aforesaid. Notice is hereby given, that all persons claiming to have been creditors of the said partnership at the date of the said composition or the legal personal representatives of such of them as may be dead, are hereby required to send particulars of their debts to . . . ." Two very remarkable cases of Unexpected Assets were chronicled in the year 1882. In one case the creditors of Mr. C. Newton, — the largest dry goods merchant in Sydney, a well-known exporter, — unexpectedly received the balance of their debts (5s. in the pound). Mr. Newton some twelve years before had been compelled to ask his creditors for time. This payment of 5s. in the pound is said to have absorbed £40,000. In recogni- tion of Mr. Newton's commercial honesty, his creditors presented him with a steam launch for fishing purposes ; they also presented Mrs. Newton with a diamond bracelet and a diamond rins^. 116 MARTIND ALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. Ill the other case the creditors of a Mr. Archbald Winterbottom (who failed some fifteen years ago for £50,000, and paid a composition of 10s. in the pound) received the balance in full. It is said that this honorable transaction caused great excitement on the Bradford Exchange. The following is an extract from an Advertisement which appeared in 1876 ; it proves that the representatives of creditors are sometimes inquired for nearly 150 3'ears after a testator's decease : "AYhereas, certain sums of Stock and Cash, of the value of £12,000' or thereabouts, are now standing to the credit of an old suit in Chancery .... which sums are alleged to be payable to the Ceeditors of Charles PiTFiELD, formerly of Middlesex, who died in 1740, whose names are set out in the Keport of Master Lane, bearing date Augusfc 9, 1792 .... And whereas certain of the said Creditors did not receive the amounts' directed to be paid to them, and the said sums of Stock ^nd Cash have in part arisen from the investment and accumulation of such amount, and have in other part arisen from portions of the residuary personal estate of the said Charles Pitfield, which have been received since the date of the said Order. E'ow, therefore, all persons claiming to be legally or benefi- cially entitled to or interested in the said funds .... are to send notice of their claims to ... . Solicitors. [Here follows List of Creditors with amount of debt in each case.] — Preston^ s Unclaimed Money. A romantic instance of restitution appeared in Climnher's Edinburgh Journal some fifty years ago. The narrative is headed, "'Curious how things come about sometimes," and the following is a summary of it: — There once resided within easy distance of a large town in the west of Scotland, a Mr. James Warrington, an extensive jeweler and watchmaker. His family consisted of himself, his wife, two sons, and two daughters. The name of the eldest son was Edward who was engaged to a young lady named Langdale, and their marriage was only delayed until the completion of certain business transactions. Matters, then, stood in this position with the family, when Warrington returned one morning from the shop in great agitation and excitement. "Jess," he said, addressing his wife, "we are ruined — utterly ruined. The shop has been broken into, and at least five thousand pounds' worth of plate and watches carried off. I have been with the police through all the most blackguard haunts of the city, but can discover no trace of either the thieves or the goods. The police say there is great doubt of any of the property ever being recovered." At the time this misfortune happened young Warrington was from home, and the intimation he had of it was from a newspaper paragraph, headed, "Extensive robbery of silver plate and watches." He hurried home ; found the family in great distress, aud to his further grief dis- covered that the extent of the robbery had not been exaggerated. For many weeks the Warringtons indulged in the hopes that some clue would be found to the robbery. These hopes were never realized ; the robbery had been, as the police said, clean and cleverly done. No trace of the per- petrators, or any part of the property, was ever discovered. In the mean- time, Mr. Warrington had paid all his creditors and literally left himself almost without a sixpence. He might have urged the robbery as a plea for bankruptcy ; but he was too upright and too conscientious a man to even think of such a course, so he paid his debts to the uttermost farthing. The ruin which had overtaken the Warringtons postponed the proposed union between Edward and Miss Langdale, and Mr. Warrington struggled on for UNEXPECTED ASSETS. 117 a few years in a small way of business, his son Edward assisting liim, but theyxould not make a living out of it. In these circumstances both father and son eagerly embraced the offer of a relative to advance sufficient cash for the payment of their passage out to New South Wales, and also £200 or so to enable them to start in the grazing line there. For several years after the Warringtons went to New South Wales they combated bravely with the difficulties most emigrants of limited means meet with, but fortune was still unkind, and after the lapse of ten years they found themselves again on the brink of ruin. During all this time Ed- Avard and Miss Langdale kept up a correspondence, until on one eventful evening Miss Langdale was alarmed by the sudden and totally unexpected re-appearance of Edward Warrington with the joyous intelligence that he and all the family had returned in excellent health and spirits,* and with plenty of "gold in store." This happy termination to long years of anx- iety, was thus brought about: — A person named Eapsley located himself on a farm next to the one the Warringtons had taken. He was a sheep farmer, and had by successful speculations in wool and grain, acquired a great deal of money. He evinced great interest in the Warringtons, and seemed to take special note of any facts relating to the robbery which had been the cause of all their misfortunes. It oozed out that Rapsley was an emancipated convict, and the Warringtons consequently gave him the cold shoulder, but he would not take the hint that his society was not wanted. At last this very undesirable neighbor requested a private interview with Mr. W^arrington, which was granted. From the interview Mr. Warrington returned in a very excited state. It turned out that Rapsley was the iden- tical person who had committed the memorable robbery, and that he was anxious to jefund every farthing with interest. This he did by drafts on a Sydney bank for £7,500. On being thus strangely and unexpectedly put in possession of so large a sum, the Warringtons^decided to return to their native land. This determination having been communicated to Rapsley, he insisted on defraying the expenses of the passage home. A further draft of £1,000 was added by the emancipated convict to the aforesaid £7,500, with many expressions of sincere sorrow for his crime. By a curious chance Mr. Warrington got both his old shop and his old house again ; and in a short time the former presented the same appear- ance which it had done a dozen years before. The marriage — postponed for so many years by reason of the robbery — took place immediately, and in a few years more the elder Warrington retired from business, being enabled by the restoration of his property, and subsequent successful busi- ness, to enjoy ease and tranquillity. CHAPTER XIX. TEEASUEE TEOYE. WHEN any gold or silyer, in coin, plate, bullyon hath been of ancient time hidden, wheresoever it be found, whereof no person can prove any j3roperty, it doth belong to the King, or some Lord or other of the King's grant, or prescription. The reason wherefor it belongeth to the King is a rule of the common laAv ; that such goods whereof no person can claim property belong to the King, as wrecks, strays, etc." — Such is Treasure Trove as defined by an old writer, and in ancient times the pun- ishment for concealing it was death ; it is now fine or imprisonment. If after the Crown has taken possession of any treasure the rightful owner can be traced, the treasure belongs to the owner and jiot to the Crown. In the olden time, when money was found in a church-yard, -the silver went to the priest, the gold to the King. The right of the Crown to Treasure Trove is deemed by many people to be a somewhat arbitrary one, and finders of long-hidden treasures occa- sionally try to dispose of them without notifying the "find" to the proper authorities. Some time since a laborer at Devizes, when moving the thatch from a barn, found thirteen old guineas and other curiosities, which had evi- dently been stowed away for many years. The finder in this case was honest, and handed over the money to the Lord of the Manor. The right of a Lord of the Manor to Treasure Trove found on his estate is strikingly exemplified by the following anecdote which appeared in Vanity Fair: — "A West-End jeweler endeavored to tempt a gentleman to purchase a piece of old-fashioned silver, by declaring that it had been found in a par- ticular field near a certain town. "Will you certify that in writing ?'' asked the gentleman. " Certainly, sir," replied the tradesman. " Do so,, and I will take the flagon," returned the gentleman. The tradesman wrote out and handed to him the required certificate, whereupon the cus- tomer pocketed certificate and flagon together, remarking, " I am the Lord of that Manor. I am glad to receive my dues." In France, when money or valuables deemed. Treasure Trove are dis- covered, one half of the value goes to the finder and the other half to the proprietor of the ground on which the "find" was made, as will be seen by the following case. The facts were these : — " In 1867 some repairs were going on at the Lycee Henri IV., behind the Pantheon, and a workman discovered a large number of Roman coins in a sewer. The contractor in whose employ the workman was, claimed his .118 TREASURE TROVE. 119 share ; but he was non-suited, and the Municipahty paid the finder the handsome sum of 18,292 francs for his half of the treasure." There was a discussion in Parhament, in 1877, as to whether some very A'aluable securities, found in the Begum Motee during the Indian Mutiny by our soldiers, were to be treated as Prize Money or Treasure Trove."^ The captors claimed the same as Prize Money, but the Govern- ment decided th[it these securities must be treated as Treasure Trove, and 25 per cent only of the value of the treasure was distributed among the finders. This seems to be the general rule in such cases, as far as can be gathered from the Parliamentary Returns on the subject. In the year 1818 a curious] Treasure Trove case was decided. The following is the short history of it : — The plaintiffs A\'ere the executors of a Mr. ]S"oakes, deceased, and the defendant was a shopkeeper .'residing at Deal. It was an action of trover to recover certain property from the defendant, under circumstances very peculiar. A sale took place of the property of the plaintiff's at which the defendant attended. A chest of antique drawers was put up by the auctioneer and bought by the defendant for the sum of 4s. 3d. In the evening of the day of the sale the goods were removed, amongst them these old drawers. While the person em- ployed by the defendant to remove his purchase from the premises was taking away the drawers, a secret drawer fell out containing a bag full of guineas. The defendant was present at the time, and upon seeing wdiat had occurred he asked the porter what he should do. The porter advised the defendant to say nothing about it, but required five guineas as hush- money. This the defendant positively refused, and observed that he would rather go to law about it than give the hush-money. The porter immediately made a disclosure, and a law-suit resulted. It was proven by the auctioneer that the drawers were sold, and that the defendant had con- fessed the guineas were there. It was also proven by a person at whose house the guineas were counted by the defendant, that the number of guineas amounted to between 100 and 130 in the whole. The defendant's counsel contended that the plaintiff could not succeed, as it could not be proven that the guineas were actually his property ; on the contrary, he contended that the jury must consider the property not to have belonged to the deceased, but to his ancestors, or to some 'one unknown. The guineas might have been placed there by some one wholly unconnected with the deceased. The Judge, however, held that the property being found in the house was sufficient to prove that it was the property of the deceased, and the jury immediately found for the plaintiff — damages one hundred and ten guineas. In 1882 no less than 307,000 francs in gold were discovered by a car- penter rolled up in wrappers of the Moniteur newspaper of the time of the Revolution m the wall of a house at Dijon. The owner of the house claimed the money, but an adverse claim was set up by the descendants of the former owner. The Dijon tribunal decided in favor of the descend- ants, as memoranda on the wrappers proved the genuineness of their claim. Persons lucky enough to find valuables likely to be claimed as Treasure Trove would do well to consult a solicitor before disposing of them. — Pres- to7i's Unclaimed Money. CHAPTER XX. ESCHEATS. UNDEE the law of England, no lapse of time will bar the claim of^Next of Kin to a personal estate not specially bequeathed. This is a fact Yery important to be known in this country, inasmuch as an almost univer- sal impression prevails amongst the people (not lawyers) that after the lapse of a certain time its recovery is forever barred, either by escheat or limita- tion. This is only true as to Eeal Estate, and the law of limitations as to that is pretty fully set out in our first" chapter. It would seem a " sin of omission " however, were we to close this work without something on the subject of escheats. This word is derived from the Norman-French eschete from eschoeoir, to fall to (in the sense of a "wind-fall") ; Latin, caderB: Brett. 28a.; Litt. §682 ; Littre s. v. The first definition given to the word by our law writers is ; " lands falling by accident to the lord of whom they are holden (Co. Litt. 13a 92b) or to the Crown." It is derived from the Feudal Kule : "that when an estate in fee simple comes to an end, the land reverts to the lord by whose ancestors, or predecessors the estate was originally created, (Wms. Eeal prop. 126), except in case of high treason, when the land always escheated to the Crown." (Co. Litt. 13a). At the present day in England, seignories in freehold land are of no practical value, and the evidence of them has generally been lost, s*o that where an escheat takes place, the land in almost all cases goes to the Crown, as the ultimate lord of all lands in England. (Wms. Eeal property 128 ; Co. Litt. la). In the United States, the State is vested with the rights of the feudal lord, and the land reverts to it, where there is no one competent to inherit after office found, but the subject is, in almost all of the States, regulated by Statute, of which more anon. An escheat may happen in two ways under English law. (1) aut per defectum sanguinis, (for default of heirs), or (2) aut per delictum tenentis, (for felony). The latter takes place where a person is outlawed for felony, nj^on which his blood is corrupted ; that is to say, he becomes incapable of holding land, or of inheriting it, and at common law, it therefore escheats to the lord. Formerly in England juda^ment of death for felony caused an escheat in the same manner as out-lawry, but this has been recently abolished, (Stat. 33 and 34 Vict. C. 23 ; see Attamder) as has also the rule that a person could not trace descent to land through an ancestor who has been attainted of treason or felony, so that the land escheated to the lord. (Stat. 3 and 4 Will. IV. C. 106 §10. 1 Steph. Com. 445.) Escheat is not properly a purchase in the technical sense of the word, for the land thus acquired by the lord descends as the seignory would have 120 ESCHEATS. 121 descended, into the place of which it comes. (Burt Oomp. 325 : Hargravis note to Co. Litt. 18 b). Escheat is minutely defined in 2 Bl. Com. 244. As to how it arises see 9 Mass.364, 368. As to title thereby see 1 Chit. Gen. Pr. 279. It seems the universal rule of civilized society, that when a disceased owner has left no heirs, his property should vest in the public, and be at the disposal of the Government. Code 10. 10. 1-10. ; Vin.Abr. 139 ; 1 Brown Com. Law 250; 1 Swift Digest 156; 5 Binn 375; 3 Dane Abr. 140, §24 Jones Land Off. Letters in Penn'a. 5. 6, 93 ; 27 Barb. 376 ; 9 Rich. Eq. 440 ; 27 Penn'a, 36 ; 5 Cal. 373 ; 1 Smull 355 ; 4 Zab. 566 ; 2 Swan 46 ; 4Md. Ch. 167; 16 Ga. 31; 9 Heisk 85; 48 Tex. 567; 28 Graft. 62; 47 Md. 103 ; 86 Penn. 284 ; 63 Ind. 33. An action of ejectment commenced by writ of summons has taken the place of the ancient?W2-Y of escheat, against the person in possession, on the death of the tenant without heirs. Land of a copyhold tenure could not escheat to the Crown, but to the lord of the manor of which it was holden, (1 Chit. Gen. Prac. 280,) and the lord could only seize for want of an heir quousque, that is until one appears. The law of Escheats in the United States is different in the different States, mainly on the length of time required to bar an action for recovery by claimants after the property has passed by judgment to the State ; the longest time allowed in any of them is thirty years after the removal of disability. The State Laws are uniform in their application of the law to personal as well as real property ; and herein they differ wholly from the English law ; and not only so, but it is an entire departure from the reason of the law, and in its practical working is often as great a de- parture from justice; if not in direct violation of that provision in the Constitution of the United States which says : "nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." I apprehend much of the law is yet to be made in this country on this subject. The Legisla- tures have had their say on it, but the courts are not yet done with it. Take, for example, the law of Connecticut, which is probably as liberal to the rights of Next of Kin as any of the States, if not the most so. Their Statute provides that : " When no owner of any estate can be found, it shall escheat to the State ; and Judges of Probate, in their respective districts shall appoint an administrator therein, and give notice to the State treasurer, who shall receive it from the administrator. The treasurer may manage or sell the property, and make a conveyance thereof. If subsequently the owner ap- pears, he shall be entitled to the property, or avails if it has been sold. When any personal estate of a deceased person shall remain unclaimed for five years after the settlement of his estate, in the hands of the admin- istrator or executor, and the person entitled to the same is unknown or cannot be found, the Court of Probate, after a hearing, may order the same sold and avails paid to State treasurer, who shall refund it to the person entitled thereto if demanded within tliirty years." Now as liberal as this law is, yet what right has a State to take private property, and fix a limit beyond which a rightful heir may not recover it? The law may be applied to real estate, perhaps, with some show of reason, where a remnant of the old feudal system is still recognized as existing, but the reason for it wholly fails in regard to personal property. It is not a reversion, because the State never had any interest in 122 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL. it. We hope no rightful heir will be deterred from seeking his remedy, not- withstanding the Statute of Limitations has barred it. The probabilities are he will not be forced to test the constitutionality of the law, for unless he has been guilty of some neglect in prosecuting his claim, the State will in almost every meritorious case pass a Special Act in his f ayor, which to our certain knowledge has been frequently done. UNCLAIMED ESTATES IN THE COURT OP CHANCERY. The following two extracts will give some idea of the enormous amount of money lying unclaimed in the Court of Chancery, in England ; — (From The Times of 8th Octoher, 1873.) "The Chancery Dividends. — Yesterday, the Chancery Pay Office, which last year was called * the Accountant-General's Office/ was opened, and will continue open for the payment of the October dividends. The payment in cash to a certain amount, about £50, was continued to the benefit of the recipients who had before the Chancery Funds Act of 1872 '.7as passed, after getting their cheques, to proceed to the Bank of England for the money. Now they are accommodated with cash in Chancery Lane. In the year ended the 31st of October last there was paid into Court at the Chancery Pay Office £19,574,422, aud £18,456,976 paid out. There were 51,628 cheques signed, and there were as many as 30,527 accounts. On the various accounts the stock amounted to £60,422,116, cash £3,535,670, and the balance of cash at the Bank £1,111,729. The Consolidated Fund owed the suitors of the Court on 1st of October last £2,423,340." (From The Times of 7th October, 1874.) ** In Chancery. — The first account of the Paymaster- General under the Court of Chancery Funds Act of 1872 has been issued as a Parliamentary paper. It shows that on the 31st of Angust, 1873, the securities and money in the Court of Cbancery belonging to suitors reached the value of £66,239,818, or perhaps we should say the nominal value, for the 'securities ' are not put at their actual cash value, but are the amount of stock which has been brought into Court or purchased. There are also some few other securities expressed in foreign currencies. It is not stated why these are not included in the statement of amount, for they are as much apart of the Paymaster- General's balance as any others. The * cash ' is not quite £4,000.000 sterling. Of this amount nearly £2,500,000 are due from the Con- soliriated Fund, being the ' book debt ' due in cash from the Court of Chancery to the suitors. Nearly £600,000 had been placed 'upon deposit' under the 14th section of the Act. The item of "securities" amounts to above £62,000,000 sterling, and is constituted chiefly of Government or Indian stock, but- includes a multitude of other investments, such as railway stock or shares, dock and assurance companies' stock, colonial bonds, Brazilian and various South American bonds, Spanish bonds, St. Pancras Skinner's estate bonds, &c., all brought into Court for safe keeping during some strife or suit. There are also a large number of boxes and miscellaneous efi'ects in the Bank of England, deposited there on behalf of the Court of Chancery — boxes containing securities, jewelry, title-deeds, a wUl, personal ornaments, plate, a portrait, diamond necklace, coronet, and earrings, and many other articles, each box being marked with the title of the cause or matter in which the contents are in dispute or under discussion. The account is made up to the 31st of August, as being a more convenient time than the last day of September, which has been heretofore the closing day of the Chancery year. The Comptroller and Auditor-General has had to report on the account, and he observes that the audit hitherto has, since the abandonment of the system of check before payment, been confined to an examination (with reference to the accounts of the suitors) of the certificates and draughts of the Assistant Paymaster- General, after they have been acted upon, and to the daily entry of all the transactions in the duplicate books (formerly kept at the Bank of England) jpari passu with the entry of the same transactions in the books of the Paymaster- General. It is manifest that this limited audit does not fulfil the object contemplated by the Treasury in 1871 — viz., the establishment of *a complete check on Chancery expenditure,' for that would involve the examination not only of the documents prepared in the office of the Assistant Paymaster-General, but also of the orders of the Court, and of all the subsidiary authorizing documents, with the view of ascertaining that the intentions of the Court have been duly and faithfully carried into efi"ect. It may serve to give some idea of the amount of work involved in keeping a check upon the Chancery books if we state that the number of causes and matters on the 31st of /ugust^ 1873, was 31,146, and 43,477 draughts were paid in the eleven months ending on that day. It may here be added that the amount of dormant and unclaimed money in official custody is very large. Unclaimed dividends on the public 'Funds' have accumulated until the amount reached £991,711, in April, 1873, but at the beginning of the present year the amoimt had been reduced to £904,891. There is also a very large amount of unclaimed Army prize money, from which upwards of £600,000 has been expended on Chelsea Hospital pensions. The usual annual account of naval prize money has not yet, we believe, been issued this year. From these sources thousands of small sums are due to old soldiers and pallors, or their next of kin, and it should be known that these moneys are easily recover^ able by the proper parties." COI^CLUSION. FOR information concerning the following lists, we refer the reader to pages 6, 7, and 8 of this MAi;ruAL. Additional lists will be inserted in each successive issue of the Manual, which will be revised and published once a year, and in the interim, supplemental lists will be issued ; so that names sent us for insertion will be promptly and extensively advertised. We repeat that no charge whatever is made for insertion of names of per- sons wanted, and we again urge all our correspondents, clients, and friends to send in any names they wish advertised. Any one, or more, entitled as Next of Kin to an unclaimed estate, can proceed to recover his or her share, or shares, independently of other claimants; but it is always preferable that all, or as many as possible, unite in the claim, as it greatly reduces the pro rata expenses. In regard to the amount of wealth represented by the names in the following lists, we can only repeat what we say on page 6 of this Manual, but may add that many of them do represent very large estates. We might enumerate by the hundred, but will only mention as samples of a large class, that of Helen Sheridan, in " List 13," where there is a million and a half pounds sterliyiy awaiting ISQxt of Kin, and Leonard H. Smith, in "List 17," w^ho, amongst other property, left 110,000 in U. S. G-overnment Bonds, all of which is in the hands of the Public Admin- istrator, awaiting Next of Kin. It will be observed that the information respecting identity of persons wanted, as published in the following lists, is often very meagre. In some instances this is intentionally done, so that Heirs will be forced to seek further information through this Bueeau. Otherwise they might ignore us in their investigation, and we would have no remunera- tion for our advertisement. It will be further noticed that the words, *^ Heirs Wanted," appear to some names, and not to others. This has no special significance, as Heirs are wanted in all of them. Our business in the investigation of Old Estates, Unclaimed Money, etc., is not at all confined to the cases in which we publish names of per- sons wanted, but we will undertake any case that {presents reasonable grounds for hope of its recovery. In this connection we would remind our readers that many ninety-nine-year leases are now expiring, and occasion- ally one falls on lands covered by a large city or town. Any one hav- ing a suspicion that his ancestors may have left such reversionary interests, may, with little expense, have the facts ascertained through this Bureau. The undersigned Manager, in his sixteen years' experience as Manager of the Martindale Law Association, has made the acquaintance of the leading lawyers in every county in the United States and Canada ; and will be happy to give, as a reference to anyone desiring it, the name of some prominent man in his own neighborhood, to whom he can refer. Very respectfully, Gen ^l Manager. Unclaimed Monet, Lands and Estates Bureau. 142 La Salle Street. Chicasfo. 124 1/ SPECIAL LIST No. I UNCLAIMED MONEY, LANDS AND ESTATES.
