PROKM.
"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 effect 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 tor 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 femilies, 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 different 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
3

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," "Jennings," 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 al^yays
poor or ignorant people, who 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
Kegistry, 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 stay, 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 petsons are undoubtedly entitled to money which
can still be recovered, although such claim may have been in abey-

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

THE UNCLAIMED MONEY, LANDS AND ESTATES
BUREAU.
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 Elin, 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 ot
$5.00. This fee will be deducted from the fee for a fuU 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 beginnings
of the last century. They contain the names of over 130,000 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 heira
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 or 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.

CHAPTER I.
ENGLISH LAW OE LIMITATIONS.
As the recovery of real estate is altogether barred if an action is not
brought within 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 reSl 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 them, 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
wiU 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 he has had for
many years, and has made provision for enjoying in perpetuity, would
probably cause more harm in the end than to permit ah ignorant or negli-
fent claimant to agitate, and carry out long dormant schemes for an in-
efinite period.
To dispose first of claims by the Crown. By 9 Geo. III., cap. 16
(passed in 1769), and its amending Statutes, such claims and rights in any
lands are now, and have since that date, been barred after the lapse of sixty
years. Next, 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 1833), 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 possession of an Estate on the death of another person who
held it for life, was allowed twenty 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 when 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,
*'. 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 certain 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
right of presentation after the happening of three successive incumbencies,
or sixty years (whichever should last happen), or 100 years in all, in case
three remarkably 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 so, his right was altogetherex-
tinguished. For all practical purposes this is an epitome of the Law as it stood
prior to the 1st of January, 1879. The Real 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 OP LIMITATIONS. 11
^ho have carefully perused 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
bringmg an action for the recovery of land, or all corporeal hereditaments,
and most tithes and rent or other periodical payments charged on land,
■from any 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 ceasuig of disabiHty, whichever shall
first 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, butimportantalterations the Law madeby
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-
tion 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
rseldom, 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
remain unclaimed, are in the same position as the Stocks before mentioned,
as also are shares under intestacies.
All realty must be 6onveyed 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 Eegistry Offices
(established in the years mentioned), viz., Middlesex in 1708, West Eiding
■of York in 1704, East Eiding of New York in 1707 (including the town
and county of Kingston-upon-Hull), N'orth Eiding of York in 1737.
The great district of the Pens known as the Bedford Level, which was
Teclaimed 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.
12 MABTIKDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
The foregoing remarks comprise all tlie instances in which registration
is compulsory for perfecting a title. In 1862 an Act was passed, entitled
the " Land Eegistry Act" (25 and 26 Vict., cap. 53), making provision for
an optional ofl&ciai investigation, by a Commissioner or Registrar appointed
by the Government, of any title an owner might desire to have brought
under the provisions of |the 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
toresifting 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, with 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 theland'in
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 theofiicials 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 Prance 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 to
avoid paying the Government duties on his decease. In many instances.

therefore, as has heea '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-

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 pubhc 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 "offered" at pubhc 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 entsy 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 $5, commission, $i. Outside of railroad limits, fee
$10, commission |4, 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 the 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 ofl&cers, 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 office, 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 widow, 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 actes 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.
PEE-EMPTIONS.
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 "offered "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 |!i.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 $1.35 per
acre if outside of railroad limits, or $3.50 per acre if within these limits,
and he ma,y 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 application 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, ^o person who abandons his residence on his own land to
reside on public laud in the same state or territory, or who owns 330 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 uufil 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-
per nearest the land for at least thirty days as in case of homesteads.
TREE 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 entry thereunder.
24 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
The qualifications of applicants are the same as under the pre-emption
iuid homestead laws. The land office charges are, for 160 acres or more
than eighty acres, 114 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 not
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 be jorora^a. 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 the 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 law, 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.
CUEIOSITIES OF NEXT OF KIN.
WHILE compiling his index to Next of Kin advertisements, it occurred
to Mr. Edward Preston that 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 Manual 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
civilized 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. Good 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 known. 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 Eeduction at 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 " Lincolu's-Inn Fields."

26 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
The descendants of two persons of the name of Braat, born 1778 and
1783, were wanted " for their own interests" ; a very old friend' from abroad
longed to meet J. 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, New Zealand in 1863, de-
sired much to know his whereabouts. B.C., late of Ipswich, " whose father
was a miller, aged 28," — so states the advertisement — was wanted for some-
thing greatly to her advantage ; and a Hull pauper inherited £30,000 left
him by a Scotch nobleman.
The desoendantsof one family were entitled to £1?,000 ; those of an-
other who, in 1798, were living in Bloomsbury, were anxiotisly sought ;
and tidings of a person reported to have been drowned in 1830, in the Mer-
rimac Eiver, would be liberally paid for. The N"ext 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 was 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-
porary Home for Lost or Starving Dogs), were invited to claim a share of
a benevolent Testator's residuary estate. was requested to " write to
Nephi Elsmore, Salt Lake City, Utah — it will be to his advantage"— some
Tomance undoubtedly underlied this notice. Two sisters were informed of
the sudden death of their brother at Melbourne ; and the Heirs of Ninian
E , who was "a hind at Widdrington, in 1760," were unknown. The
representatives of a certain merchant, who carried on business in the City
of London, in 1820, were wanted for " something beneficial" ; like notices
are very frequent, as Unexpected Assets often accrue. A son was anxious
to hear from his " mother, sister, or brother" ; and Dinah , sought for
something to her great advantage. The relatives of a captain, who died
suddenly, were requested to communicate with the clergyman of the parish ;
and the " Next of Kin of the author of ' Sam Slick' will hear of something
pecuharly interesting to them on applying to ." Several domestic ser-
vants were entitled to legacies ; a sister would hear of something to her ad-
vantage if she would make herself known to her brother ; a gunner who
CURIOSITIES OP NEXT OF KIN. 37
deserted Her Majesty's service in 1863, or, if dead, his Next of Kin, were
interested in an Irish Probate case ; the Heirs-at-Law of several persons of
unsound mind, were inquired for under the Lunacy Eegulation Act ; and
a lady who seems to have enjoyed the luxury of being married four times,
was entitled to a legacy left by her sister ; the Heirs of a Spanish lady, an
aged spinster of eighty-two, were inquired for by a Spanish _Court—" all
those who think they have a right to the inheritance are invited to apply" ;
this Advertisement opens up a wide field for claimants. 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 imf ortunate 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 1836, 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-
thing to his advantage, on applying at his old shop ; and a son was informed
of the 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 CM.
Moses, by applying to he will find a legacy from his aunt." A
Swiss paper had the following: — "T. Metzger (Heirs). All persona
believing themselves to be heirs of the above, formerly Governor of Breda
and Lieutenant-General 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
Romney, 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 Lidian 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 «f the
nurse."
28 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
A person who left Wales in 1857 was entitled to one-third 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 E 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 callings
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 within two years."
A gentleman for some years missing was requested to communicate
with Solicitors " 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 to 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 Neivs, Broad Arrow, and Laiv 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, caries de vis'ite, etc., would be gladlv
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 E. 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 OP NEXT OP KIN. 29
The creditors of a late noble lord are informed that a sum of £4,000
is now divisible among them ; by the deatli of his aunt, a sailor is entitled

is among the missing ones wanted. J. D., of Bermuda in 1845, is believed
to have been lost at sea ; and J. W. H., " of the Kooky Mountains," is
interested in his father's estate ; L. H. is wanted to administer 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.

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 stufE.ed
calf with ;two heads and seven legs ; sometimes did a httle business in
booths in the art of self-defense."
If W. 0. 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

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

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. (^ost 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 pubhcity to a long list of Cape Intestates, the Unknown Heirs
being entitled to about £30,000.
CHAPTER V,
DOEMANT FUNDS IN CHANCEEY.
BEFOEE 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 OflBce, 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 charge of any property brought into Court in suits which
had not been referred to one of the Masters. The Masters and the Usher
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 the
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 found 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 sis 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; and
it was soon found that great trouble, diflBiculty 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 effects
and to receive the interest due. In 1725. therefore, a General Order was
made directinff 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 Eeport Office. Another
General Order extended the plan to moneys and effects m the custody of
the Usher of the Court. . ^ ^, n ^ ^ ni.
In 1726 the first Aocountant-General of the Court of Chancery was'
appointed, and all funds in the custody of the Masters or Ushers wero'
31
33 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 proyisions
with reference to the custody and safety of the Suitors' Fands. 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 efEects 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 efEects which he shall not actually receive ; and the
Bank of England shall be answerable for all the moneys and efEects of
the Suitors which are or shall be actually received by them."
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. Prom 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, £4 7,543,458 9s. 9d. ; cash,
£5,334,015 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 Consolidated
Stocks, and^Stocks of most of the leading Kailway, 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 iij 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 Eeturn 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 (1839), was £1^37,904 ; for
fifteen years. £33,388; for ten years, £70,498; and for five years,
£301,558. The total amount of Suitors' Stock then in Court was £38,-
597,332.
In 1853 the Suitors' Further Eelief 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 3s. 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 Rehef 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 Rehef
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
showing 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 Ust of Unclaimed Funds in
Chancery, but Mr. Lowe could not be prevailed upon to alter the arrange-
ments then existing, namely, — exhibiting the Ust 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 v. Bayley — The
account of unpaid claimants entitled to £100 each ; Bryan v. Collins —
The accumulated account ; Biixter v. Facherell— The schooling and ap-
prenticing fund ; Bleadon v. Haynes — The plough, furniture, stock, and
effects account ; Brooks v. Levey— The legatees' and annuitants' account ;
Sophia Deacle— Present address unknown; Bryant v. Story— Legacy

bequeathed for the relief 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
V. Maudsley — The one hundred years term account ; Gurden v. Badcock —
The creditors under the deed of 2nd September, 1791 ; Heyden v. Owen —
The account of the seamen belonging to H.M. ships Decade and Argonaut;
Milner v. Gilbert — The foreign securities and shares account ; Mason v.
Gee-The descended estate ; Prince v. Bourjot-The ten hogsheads account;
Winter v. Kent — Fund to answer the unclaimed legacy given by the will
of the testator, James Underbill ; "Wroughton v. "Wroughton — The plate
and picture account; Yates v. Eawlins — 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'; abox marked, 'Diamond Necklace, Coronet and Barrmgr;
a box containing plate and other articles ; a bag of clipped money, etc ,
(Jones V. Lloyd, August, 1736) ; 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 :
" Me. Stanley Leighton. — 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 with 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 ofiicials, 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 was not published every three years, and when published, it
was not in alphabetical order Names and addresses ought to
DORMANT FUNDS IN CHANCERY. 35
be giyen. This was done in the lists issued by the India Office and the
War 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 were 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 departments to protect
themselves against unfounded claims, and they did it without making a
secret of information that ought to be published. What 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 Government were trustees,
with duties to the pubhc ; and they were bound to give all the information
they could. The true owners were those who would be claimants if they
had the knowledge of their rights. The knowledge was kept back by the
Office, which held and utilized 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 .... officials might say that the present lists were sufficient,
but the public 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 EoUs, 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 ot the
£8,000. The Master of the EoUs 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 jn Ireland, to pre-
vent the appropriation of these funds by the Governmen t.
The Attorney-Genekal. — 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 was 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
* Tais is a mistake ; each fund represents a sum of £50 or upwards ; the very smaU amounts
are not published at all.
86 MARTIND ALE'S UNCLAIMED HONES' 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.
Mr. Salt. — What was wanted was sufficient publicity without too
much of it It might be well that the lists should be published an-
nually instead of triennially.
Mr. Donaldson" Hudson. — The funds did not always consist of small
amounts, as had been stated by the Attorney-General. 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. Lyoks 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.)
Me. Gray regretted that the Attorney-General had not referred to
the subject of cross-indexes. The adoption 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 niajority 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. The 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 that
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 ofE to compile 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 pubhshed, 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 in the sense proposed by Mr. Stanley Leighton, there is no
doubt that a large proportion of these Dormant Funds would find their
way into the pockets of their rightful owners.
The next list of Dormant Funds will be looked for wi£h 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 eztenso.
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 was 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 tlnclaimed Money.
The following is from the London Law Journal of recent date, and
will be found interesting in this connection :
" The publication by the Chancery Pay Office of the Hist 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 list 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 MARTIND ALE'S UNCLAIMED MONET MANUAL.
the name of the person on whose behalf he applies, 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 slice 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
Eestoration, 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 Spain, 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.
«rty 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
penetratioa of themselves and their legal advisers."
CHAPTER VI.
EN&LISH ESTATES EEYEETING TO THE
CEOWN.
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 Next 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 £300,000, 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 Kin. — Brown. — The i Relations or Next of Kin of Maria
Mankin Brown, late of Hertford Street, Mayfair, who died on the 21st
December, 1871, are requested to apply to the Solicitor of the Treasury,
Whitehall, London."
Fourteen persons came in und^ 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
ENGLISH ESTATES REVERTING TO THE (JROWN.
41
take her house for the purpose of widening Hamilton place, 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 1883 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, Elizabeth (Chester).
Jones, Martha (Hereford).
Lacon, Dr. Henry (died abroad).
Langley, Catherine R. (Middlesex).
Langley, Charles (Solicitor).
Ludlow, Jane Maria (Middlesex).
Madsen, Mathias (London).
Martin, Prances (Middlesex).
Mostyn, Robt. Capt. (Ireland).
Newman, Alex. (Suffolk).
Pigott, D. P. (died abroad).
Rowlls, Ruth (or Irwin).
Smith, Geoirge (Middlesex).
Stokes, John Allen (Surrey).
Sweeney, Maria (Chester).
Symons, Caroline (Devon).
Tart, William (Dover).
Taylor, Geo. (Monmouth).
Varley, Samuel (Worcester).
Welsh, Edwd. G. (Commercial Traveler).
Welton. John (Middlesex).
Williams, Geo. (Middlesex).
The Next 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 which successful claims have
been made on the Crown, will be encouraging to persons having claims of
a like kind : —
THE ATTOEKEY GENEKAL V. KOHLER AND OTHBES.
In 1802 the following Advertisement appeared :—
" If the Relations or Next of Kin (if any) of George Frederick Kohler.
late Brigadier-Gleneral in his Majesty's Artillery, who died in Egypt on
29th December, 1800, a Widower and Intestate, will apply at the King's
Proctor's OfiBoe, Doctors' Commons, London, they will hear of something
to their advantage."
In 1813 the then Solicitor to the Treasury obtained, as nominee of
the Crown, a grant of Letters of Administration to the estate and effects
of George Frederick Kohler, an officer of Artillery, who died in Syria in
1800, intestate, and whose property up to that time had not beea
administered.
In 1820 Christiane Bauer, of Cronberg, laborer, and Elizabeth his;
wife, filed a bill, claiming to be entitled to General Kohler's property, as
his Next of Kin. The bill alleged that the intestate was the only son of
George Kohler, who was born at Bingen, on the Rhine, and who left thera
very early in life and became a soldier 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 usiial discovery and accounts.
The answer to the bill denied all knowledge of the relationship of tha
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 under 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 Koyal prerogative, became entitled to the
personal estate and effects aforesaid. It was stated that the balance
(£7,843, 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 N'ext 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 Majesty'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 36
• February, 1859 (twenty-eight years after the injury was directed), the
Master made his Eeport, by which he found that Jacob Kohler, Johann
Michael Kohler, and Ge^trandt 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-Ohancellor
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 £7,843 8s. 4d. was due for principal, and £14,439 13s. 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
Xiordships 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.
EE DEWELL-EDGAE V. EEYlfOLDS.
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 Vice-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 1836 Thomas Dewell died intestate. A.t 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
Oowes, Isle of "Wight, and late of Elhott place, near Gosport, in the County
of Southampton, Gtentleman, a Lieutenant in Her Majesty's Army,
deceased, will apply to , they may hear of something to their
advantage."
No Next of Kin appeared. The clear amount that came to the Crown
ENGIiISH ESTATES REVERTING TO THE CROWN. 43
was £2,064 7s. Id., -which, under the then existing law, the Crown Solic-
itor paid over in 1838 to the King's Proctor, for the King's use. In 1857 a
suit was instituted, and further Advertisements for Next 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 Vice-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 1837 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 Kik. — If the relations or Next of Kin of John Turner lato
ot 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, 1843, 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 Treasuiy 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
Cro'^Tn 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 hke 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-Chancellor, 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: —
" Sudden 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 £130,000, 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 ' Death
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
Keturn 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
1833, Mr. Harvey (then M P. for Colchester) moved for a Return as to
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
Tyhich 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,
both inclusive, specifying (1) the nature and extent of the property so ob-
tained and now in progress of recovery ; (3) 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 progress 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 recovery. Nil. Crown's share paid to the King's Proctor,
jei,503 2s. 3d. ; Grant to Anna Priscilla Warrington, £4,259 12s. 3d. ;
Costs, £299 7s. 6d. Intestates name. — Samuel Ducket and John Wat-
son ; Amount obtained — Nil. ; In progress of recovery — £1,000 Bast In-
dia Stock, and about £6,000 arrears of dividend." This suggestive note is>
attached to the entry : — " The difficulty of identifying the deceased parties
has hitherto stopped the progress, and nothing has yet been recovered.
Intestate's name. — John Turner — (Seaman's wages). Amount obtained
£51 2s. 4d. ; Debt paid £19 19s. 6d. ; Grant to W. Player £3 lis. 2d. ;
Costs £28 lis. 8d. Intestate's name. — Charles Sidney — (Share of Deccan
Prize money). Amount obtained £50 10s. 9d. ; Crown's share £3 Is. Id
Grant to Mr. Sicard £25 17s. 8d. ; Costs £30 12s. Intestate's name.-
Eachel Frances Antona Ijee. Amount obtained £24,910 lis. lOd.
Crown's share £5,770 8s. 2d. ; Grant to Lady Ann Dash wood Trehurst
£16,346 7d. ; Costs £1,706 148. 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 Sohcitor 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 Majesty." 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 dyiag 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 MARTINDALB'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
account to be called " The Crown's Nominee Account " (3) 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 Accouiit 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 Pund, or the growing produce-
thereof.
It will thus be seen that personal estate can be recovered froni 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 Rules 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, £137,876 19s. lid. ; 1878, £139,769 9s. 3d. ; 1W7.%
£140,879 3s. 5d. ; 1880, £56,448 13s. lid.
After payment of the Crown's share, grants to persons having claims-
on the bounty 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 meagTC
nature of the information afforded by the " Crown's Nominee Ac-
count," and Sir Herbert Maxwell, last session, gave the following notice :
" Sir Hbrbekt Maxwell — 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 renewed. 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 :
" I 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
iona vacantia. ... I recommend the Lords of the Treasury as to the
disposition of the balance of the effects. . . . The Solicitor of the
Treasury is appointed administrator. ... I am known all over the worlds
and I correspond with solicitors and the people interested. ... I ascertain
what the effects are eiftier at the Bank of England or with various public
bodies. . . . Mr. Stephenson gets in the effects. . . . Sometimes there are
large and heavy pedigree cases. ... In a heavy case a short time ago, I
fancied it was rather a fraudulent case on the part of the party who set
up the claim. I got the facts together and took Counsel's opinion. . . .
I went on and won the case, and a large sum was recovered. ... I have
a lot of administrations going in shortly and among them is one estate
worth £35,000. Occasionally I have much heavier amounts even than that,
. . . All these estates are vested in the Crown ; they belong to Her
Majesty in right of Her Eoyal prerogative. . . . When bastards die there
are always plenty of people only too ready to seize hold of their
property and get wills made. ... In one case there was a commission to
America. ... It was an estate worth £70,000, 1 think. ... In ordinary
cases the procedure is this : I receive a letter that A. B. is dead ; that
he had such and such property ; that he was a bastard, or has left none
but illegitimate relations. I then ascertain the facts, and find out who the
.Ifext 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 — £130,000 and sums of that
sort." — Preston's Unclaimed Momy.
CHAPTER VII.-
CLAIMANTS
THERE are not a few estates in 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 SLprima 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 Charta
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:
" An Estate Withoitt an Ownbk. — 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
disi?olute 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, iS 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 afEording 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.
48
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
£30,000 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
(Richard Swan, Esq., of Benwell Hall, near Newcastle), and put on board
the New Britannia brig ; was wrecked on the rocks of Scilly with Sir
Oloudesley 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 sufEered 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. Grofton, 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, tof assist
him, all his efEorts 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.
Prom the ' great uncertainty of human affairs, it not unf requently
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 : —
" WiLLiiM Chapman, 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 Will-
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 : —

"To SoLiciTOES AND 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 the foregoing ai-e 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 WilHam Jennens, and
amongst other valuable presents at his baptism a • silver ewer from that
Sovereign was conspicuous. William Jennins was 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
Pour 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 £30,000 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 kept £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 Will -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 Will. 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. William Jennens was
CLAIMANTS. 51
George Augustus William Curzon, infant son of the Honorable Asshleton
Curzon, M. P., to -whom all the real estate reyerted. The personalty
devolved to his cousins.
From the date of William Je'nnens's death, 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 Vice-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 Westminster in 1768, very wealthy.
One remarkable fact in connection with this case is the getting up recently
at Eochdale of an " Association of Claimants," 400 in number, claiming
descent from Sir Andrew — a.11 very anxious to obtain a share of his prop-
erty, said to be now worth £7,000,000.
The case ChadwicJe v. GhfidioicTc 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 New Tork World a very inter-
esting article headed Phantom JEstates, 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 : —

TRINITY CHURCH HISTORY-ANETJE
JANS ESTATE.
IN 1636, Koelof Jansen, who had been Assistant Superintendent of
Farms at Kennselaerwick, obtained from the Dutch Director-General
and Governor, Wouter Van Twiller, a grant of thirty-one morgend, or
sixty-two acres, of land on Manhattan Island, a little to the north of Tort
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 " Southberg," 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 again 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 Sfcuyvesant. 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 NicoUs was Gov-
ernor. The Jans grant had been confirmed to his heirs soon after the
death of Bogardus; but in 16?1 the heirs sold the property to Colonel
Francis Lovelace, who succeeded NicoUs 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 39, 1673, while Lovelace was away on a pleasure
tour, five Dutch ships sailed up the bay, anchored ofE the Battery, and can-
nonaded the city. Captain Oolve, 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 confiscate the estate of Ldvelace to the Duke of
York. The Jans-Bogardus Bouwerie was thus incorporated into what was

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 JAKS HBIBS.
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 eyen 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 within 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 were tobe 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 would 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 insur-
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 BEGINNING 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 Anetje Jans.
Immediately after the Dutch surrender of the colony, the English
Church service was first celebiated 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 was in the fort near the Battery. ' In 1678-
80, the Kev. Charles Wooley, a graduate of Emanuel College, Cambridge,
in 1677, was chaplain to the English garrison, and a journal of the time
says : " We went at noon to hear the English minister, whose services took
54 MAETINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
place after the Dutch church was out. There were not above 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, Eead, 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 £35 ; 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 £36 allowance for house rent, and afterwards the Easter Communion
offerings and £34s. from the weekly collections were allowed him. The
clerk and sexton were paid from fees for christenings, marriages, funerals,
and bell-ringings.
THE QUEEIT'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, with less than 5,500 population, was wholly 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 Broadvay, 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 busts 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, by 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 Olemm 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. Prom the year 1709 the
church conducted and supported a charity school. Prom 1715 it had
assistant ministera, 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 in the same church "with their own-
ers, who were the wealthiest and most prominent people in the city. For,
of course, till the Eevolution it was the Established Charch, 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.
RECTOR BARCLAY'S ISTDUCTION.
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 33, 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-Ohief
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 38, 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.
ST. GEORGE'S BUILT.
A few years after the induction of Mr. Barclay, the congregation had
so increased that, although there were 3,000 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 (Beak-
56 MARTINDALB'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
man) streets. These lots ^cost £645, and their estimated value in 1871
was 1500,000. Trinity issued bonds for £3,000 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 tinie Collector of this port, and afterward the
Scotch Earl of Cassflis ; 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 1 75 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 EeaHe, Murray, and Chambers
streets, then renting for $1,020 annually, and Trinity bought from Cor-
nelius J. Bogert, for $3,125, a lot to enlarge St. George's church-yard,
besides paying $5,104 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."
TEIKITT 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 income 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 performed an Anthem on the death of his late sacred
Majesty" (George II., who died October 25, 1760, and the news was lojig 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."
TKINITY IN THE REVOLUTION.
In 1774 New York was a prosperous place of some 23,000 population.
In that year John Adams on his way to the Congress in Philadelphia,
stopped here, and the simple-minded Bostouian, 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 10,335
men. Di:. Auchmuty was in New Jersey, and his assistant, the Rev.
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 conipany 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 ta
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
schoolhouses, the whole costing £23,300, besides the loss to the corpora-
tion of £536 annual rent of 346 lots, on which the tenant's buildings were
burnt. Poor Dr. Auchmuty forced 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 30, by the Rev. Charles:.
Inglis, who resigned November 1, 1783, just before the evacuation of the
city by the British troops, and afterward became Bishop of Nova Scotia.
He was a loyalist to the last, and one of the last loyalists in Trinity parish.
NINE RECTORS IN 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." Robert R^
B8 MARTINDALB'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, Eichard Morris, WiUiani Duer, Eobert Troup, John Stevens,
Anthony Lispenard, John Rutherford, and other historic names; and,
April 23, "agreeable. to the desire of the Whig Episcopalians," the Ev .
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
•secoad 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 23,
1800, and on that day the Eev. 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 1813 at an expense of $6,000, was captured
by a British cruiser, and it cost $2,000 more to redeem it. John Henry
Hobart 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, 1880.
His remains rest in the chancel. The Eev. William Berrian was recter
from October 11, 1830, to his death, November 1, 1863. The present
xector, the Eev. Morgan Dix, D. D., was inducted November 11, 1863.
Thus, in a period of 183 years, there have been but nine rectors of
Trinity.
THE PRESENT CHUBCH CONSECEATED.
In 1839 Trinity Church was pulled down, and the present splendid
structure was begun by the architect, Mr. Eichard Upjohn. It was com-
pleted in seven years, at a cost, all told, including clock, chimes and or-
gan, of $358,639.94 — 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 their 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 Chapel, in
"Twenty-Fifjih Street, built in 1851-56, cost $230,000. St. Ohrysostam'r
'Chapel, in Thirty-Ninth Street, built in 1869, cost for land $38,000 and

buildings 160,000. St. Augustine's, in Houston Street, consecrated Novem-
ber 30, 1877, cost $360,000'; and to build this fine church the corporation
borrowed $200,000 — its only debt to-day. St. Cornelius, on Governor's
Island, which Triiiity has supported since 1868, and supplied with a cler-
gyman, who also acts as post chaplain, is included in the chapels of the
oorporation.
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 £300 towards ground for a negro cemetery. In 1786 it granted
three lots in Robinson Street (now Park place) for the use of the senior
pastors of the Presbyterian congregations in the city. Besides the grants
a,lready 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 $131,-
OOO ; to Grace Church, in 1804-11, $130,000 ; Christ Church, 175,000 ;
St. Thomas's, $33,300 ; St. Luke's, $55,800 ; All Saints', $31,500 ; Ascen-
«ion, $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 $3,000,000. 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 never in any one year up to
that time reached $58,000. The building of Trinity Cliapel carried the
debt of the corporation up to $668,000. In 1857 the deficits in revenue
for ten years amounted to $373,597.35, and in tlie same time the cOrpo
ration had contributed and given away outside of the parish $388,141.05.
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
Eiver 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 IlSrCOME AND 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
Tectory, 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 rave instances, to accommodate adjacent
ovmers who wish to enlarge their premises. Occasionally tenants have
60
MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL,
old houses which they neglect and let go to ruin, and these sometimes the
corporation buys and. pute in order to be rented.
Out of its revenue, say $450,000, the corporation pays city taxes,
which, in 1877 were more than $100,500, besides considerabfe 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
$85 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^ in Hudson
Street, which is allowed $10,000 a year, and All Saints', at the comer of
Henry and Scammel streets, which draws $6,000 a year. The total of
such allowances outside of the parish amounted in 1877 to-4 7,660.19, and
in 1878 to $44,971.33. Its infirmary costs $7,300, and beds at St. Luke's
Hospital $3,000 a year. The corporation expends its entire revenue in
purposes for which the trust from its foundation was designed, and does

ESTATES IN CHANCERY.
ESTATE OF JOHN TUKN'ER.
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 Jo the Sun
Eire Office, where, in 1805 he rose to be chief clerk, and retired in 1835 on
a pension of £200 a year. From 1807 to 1824 he lodged with Mrs.
Derusier, at 130, Great Russell Street. In that year he removed to 13,
Upper Thomhaugh Street (now Huntley Street), where he died on the 31st
January, 1843, 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, Sohcitor to the Treasury,
obtained letters of Administration on behalf of the Crown, and the
balance of the property, afterpayment 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 Badwell 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 Famham 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 ; thai 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,

which showed that he was the "Theophilus" the son of Dr. Ord's gardener.
At his office he would say nothing as to his early life,but occasionally he fell
in with persons of his own class with whom he would be more communi-
cative. The evidence of two 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
£52,373 3s. lid., being the net balance of deceased's property. The gross
amount realized from his estate was £60,430.
THE MANGINI-BROWN 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 £300,000 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 iij life, and subsequently towards the latter part of the last cent-
ury found himself Agent and Consul-General in London of the Ligurian
or Genoese Kepublic,' one of those strugghng 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 £300,000. Before, how-
ever, she could enjoy the fruits of her judgment, certain Italians named
Ffeccia, proved themselves nearer of kin than Mrs. Lane to the defunct
Consul, and got her judgment reversed in their, favor. Two of these Prec-
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. • 6S
of precisely the same name, who was born at Quarto, also near Jenoa,
in 1744, and from whom they were lineally descended. To support
these different 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 was never satisfactorially shown that their
Counsel's contention — viz., 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 Cjonsul'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 ta
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 £300,000 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^Sburla'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 of Notembek, 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, No. 38, Hertford Street, Mayfair,
on 31st 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 long in coming forward, and ultimately the true Next
of Kin of the deceased were found in the persons of a family named
€4 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
Preccia. 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 was 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-
iortune to which they would have been entitled had not questionable prac-
tices been resorted to in order to strengthen their claim. ,
CATHEEIlfE CHAPMAN. — 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 wanted to an estate of one Chapman,
worth about £1,200 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 was 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 difEerent 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 CHANCEKY. 65
Suffice it to say that the plaintifE in this instance claimed 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
"VVestwell, 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 William 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 neighborhood, where
the Chapmans had been settled for centuries. The jury found in favor
of the defendants, and anotlier action must still be brought to determine
who is entitled.
ESTATE OF EICHARD 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 some 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 impbssible, 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 Richard Malins
which illustrates the impossibility of sometimes producing certificates and
showing the secondary evidence which is admitted in such cases. A Mr.
Richard 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 snch 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 Next 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 MARTINDALB'S UNCLAIMED MONET 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 will, in which a legacy is left to his niece, one of the daughters of his
Bister, Elizabeth Micklebargh. The Vice-Chaucellor observed that where
two people had lived together for thirty years, during the whole of which
time they were received^ 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, Kichard Thomas.
EB Goodman's trusts.
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 bom 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 beforethe 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 Enghsh 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.
Prom this decision Mrs. Pieret appealed. The case was argued on the
4th 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 afl&rmed, but Lords Justices Cotton and Jamesi
ESTATES IN CHANCERY. 67
being of a contrary opinion, the judgment was conseqaently 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 countrv in which
he is domiciled ; and had Lyon Goodman, being domiciled in Holland
died intestate, his persenal 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 •
but the case before the Court was the administration of an estate according
to Enghsh law. Lords Justices Cotton and James were of opiaion 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
English 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 illegitimate, 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 Rolls 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 litigantsj 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, hot reap much benefit from its decision.
ESTATE OS' THE LATE MB. PATBESON, OF KIIMAENOCK, N. 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 Times 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 sister or heirat-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 MARTINDALB'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 in 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 solicitors 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 24tli 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 public 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 Government consider " Might as Eight."
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 33 guns, sailed from Yarmouth Eoads 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 Ply 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 perished. 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
Grown 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 1823 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 MA RTIND ALE'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 Lhy^s. From
1832 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 LhydHs, and from 1857 to 1861 (sixty years after the
wreck took place) great good fortune attended the efforts of the searchers,
about £35,000 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 Royal Exchange by fire, in 1838, the books and papers
relating to Lhyd^s were lost, and the original underwriters of the " Lutine"
cannot now be traced.
In 1871 the Society of LloytPs applied for a special act of Parliament ;
the preamble of that Act concisely recites the history of the negotiations
between Lloyd's and the Dutch Government, and states that the Committee
of Lloyds had in hand a sum of about £35,000, resulting from the salving
operations aforesaid.
The following extracts from that Act will be interesting to claimants •.
" Section 34 provides that the Society of LloySs may from time to time aid
in or undertake in such manner as to them seems fit the discovery, recovery,

" 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, £35,000 shall be applied for the purposes connected! with ship-

Board of Trade after- or subject to such pubUc notice to claimants of any
part of the money aforesaid to come in, and such investigation of claims

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 £163,000 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 disputes arose between the parties as to the amount of re-
ward for the salvors. The Court of Admiralty awarded £17,000; the
Privy Council £39,000, and £35,800 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 Eaisers 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
"Eobert Fleurian, otherwise Florio, who, in 1793, went as steward oa
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
Eobert Flurian wrote to his brother in London, saying he thought he
ehould 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
aailed 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 TuUey, by his Will, 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 1833. In June, 1834,
Mary Ann TuUey 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
vested 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 iipon 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
Sersonal estate shall be held by my said trustee, upon trust, for my three chil-
ren, 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 ofE
Beachy Head, 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 haid perished. She also filed a bill
against Wing, praying for an account of the 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 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
Evidence was taken on the subject of the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Under-
wood and their children, and a medical man explained the process of
drowning. In his opinion, assuming the four persons 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 the same moment, asphyxia would 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. I^f
will, therefore, be seen that in this, as in some other cases, the doctors dif-
ferred and the lawyers consequently doubted. In 1864 the suit of Under-
wood V. Wing was heard before the Master of the EoUs, who made a decree
declaring the Tulleys entitled in equal shares to the residuary personal
estate of the testator, John TuUey. 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 were treated as involving-
the same question, so far as Wing was concerned. Elaborate arguments
were urged by learned Counsel on both sides, and numerous authorities
cited, but the result was 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 inherited the-
same. The facts were these : — Eichard Corbitt, who died in 1839, 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 West 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 Eeport 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 opinion, 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 lifetime 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 — where, 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 see a 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 : —

Cambridge, did, on the evening of Monday, the 25th of August, 1851, witli
his boatmen named Chellews and Stevens (both inhabitants of St. Ives,

daw", and neither the said Samuel Brooks nor the said boatmen have since-
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

been lost at sea having been advertised for in connection with Unclaimed
Money, but the foregoing are probably sufficient for the purposes of this.

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. — Frestm's Unclaimed Money.
CHAPTER XI.
HEIRS-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 Gteorge II. :
" Whereas, gifts or alienations of lands, tenements, or hereditaments
in mortmain are prohibited or restrained by Magna Charta 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
iDenefit of any charitable uses whatsoever, unless such gift be made by deed
dn the presence of two or more credible witnesses, twelve kalendar months
at least before the death of such donor and be inroUed 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 awears to have been passed for the benefit of
Heirs-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 Catholic faith. Here the fund did not
^0 as the testator intended, nor did it go to the Next of Kin, but to
ithe Grown, to be disposed of for some other charitable use under the Eoyal
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 relief 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 prodigiously, 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
•valued 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 1773 there were only fifteen poor kindred
entitled to share therein. In 1807 there were 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
dharity 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 hou«e 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 :
" Gentlemest : I take the liberty of writeing again to inform you
that I was entitled to my allowance at Christmas, and I 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 will not send me my allowance and it his my rights, and which I ought
ito 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 EoUs has caused great dismay in the camp
of the Smiths ; they claim the whole fund, and regard appropriation of any
portion 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,Fand 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 no
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 pnbhc 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 Great 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 Ifext of Kin not unfrequently take the benefit of a
bequest intended for some Charity. — Preston's Unclaimed Money.
CHAPTER XII.
BANK OF ENGLAND-UNCLAIMED DIYI-
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, the'
Dividends due and not demanded amounted to £818,909 13s. 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 vrith the short title of the National Debt
Act, which consolidated, -with amendments, certain eaactments 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 httle known, that it may be useful to
state their efEect 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 53 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 ; (2)
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 oflBce
of the National Debt Commissioners.
Section 53 relates to the mode of transfer, which is to be deemed as
efEectual 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 recordB for TTnclaimed Depoeite.
7&
BANK OF ENGLAND— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 7ft
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 Uke Stock, to be placed to-
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 the
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 iss
to state the purport of the Order.
Section 58 provides that at any time before re-transfer of Stockier pay-
ment of dividend to a claimant, application may be made to the Court of
Chancery to rescind or vary 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 vrhere 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 ths'
same to such other claimant, but he may have recourse against the person
to whom the re-transfer or payment was 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 new 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, with a view tO' ascertain the owners thereof, and
allow to them such compensation for their trouble and expenses as to the;
Treasury seems just.
Section 66 grants indemnity to,' tha Banks ol England and Ireland.
80 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 vrould 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 publicaiion offered f acihties 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 sheep, 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
iriipossible, 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 National 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 350,000),
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 England. — 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

A remarkable case came before the late Vioe-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
£30,000 accumulated dividends, was constantly borrowing money from her

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

In addition to Unclaimed Dividends, the Bank of England, doubtless^
has large sums in the shape of Unclaimed Deposits. 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 II., 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. — Prestoris 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 Baiik 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 $98 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-

tion in their possession regarding depositors. One single bank — the Society
for Savings — in this city holds $53,000 of unclaimed deposits due 570
depositors, one having $3,964 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 53' cents, due one Jixlia 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 hia
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 his
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 Robert Burdett found no less than £370,000
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 wh» 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-
mgs. 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 hooks had been sold to a bookseller, who luckily had
not found a customer for them, although he had sent them on approval to
a geutleman* at Cambridge, who had returned them as not answering
his expectations. The executor bought the Tillotson back again, and
going carefully through the Tolume, recovered notes to the amount of
S!a,5eo.
The watchman of a factory at New Haven, Conn., afforded the ad-
ministrators 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 this 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 iuto 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 when 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.
BANKRUPTCY-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, k 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,
triist 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 ?
8t
BANKRUPTCY— UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS. 85
In the year 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 liabilities 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 reahze the in-
significant sum of £439 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
caused wide-spread ruin and misery. The habilities 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, but, 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 Kegistrar 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 will 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 lying 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
S6 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 yenture to think they deserve
the special consideration of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. It appears
from the Comptroller's Eeturn 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 the 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
diificult 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 the 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, when commenting on the case, said : — " Were a Parliamentary Ee-
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 Money.
We have had no opportunity of searching Eecords 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
amount is very 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-
tioa, aa it will cost but a trifle.
CHAPTER XIV
USEES.
THEEE 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 Misers never intended to benefit — namely, their
Heirs-at-Law and Next 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 hi®
speculations in business and his economical mode of living ; he afterwards
came to Paris, where he accumulated his enormous fortune. He was a,
bach'elor-^the expenses of a wife and children being incompatible with hfe
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 statei,
"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, "it,
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 was 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 Rhodes, known as the Hounslow
miser, — two charities benefited largely by the miser's hoards. He was
worth nearly £80,000, all of which he left to the Royal Free H6spital 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 Next of Kin. It is said that this miser commenced his savings by
picking up cigar -ends and other unconsidered trifles. His household effects
fetched £5 17s.
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 sh&
lived in Greenwich and Deptford in the most penurious manner, denying^
herself the common necessaries of life. She was known not to have had any
fire or candle in her apartment for fourteen years prior to her death. She fre-
quently begged on the high roads when she went on business to the city..
Notwithstanding her wretched way of life, after her death there were found,
securities in the Bank, South Sea, 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 Next 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 pprtion 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 and 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 wa&
surrounded. Knowing well he could not take his wealth with him, h&
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 pioble 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 cqld, 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 stated ta
«0 MAETIKDALE 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
that 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 £300,000 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
•called it) of his sixty guineas. His contrivance, therefore, now was how to
cheat the oculist. He pretended that he had only a glimmering, and
oould see nothing perfectly. For that reason the bandage on his
■eyes was continued a month longer than the usual time. By this means
he obliged the oculist to compound the bargain, and accept of twenty guineas.
A covetous man thinks no artifice too mean which he may legally
practice to save his money. The miserly knight was an old bachelor, and
at the time the oculist couched him is reported to have had a fair estate,
■a large sum of money in the Stocks, and not less than £5,000 in his house !
Dr. King, in Anecdotes of His Oion Times, makes the following observation
•when quoting Sir Wilham Smyth's case: — "If you could bestow on a man
■of this disposition the wealth of both the Indies, he would not have
-•enough, because by enough (if such a word is to be found in the vocabu-
lary of avarice), he always means something more than he is pos-
«essed of."
The following is an instance (by no means an isolated one) of good
fortune accruing to N"ext of Kin by a miser dying intestate :
At Northfleet there died, in 1772, a Mr. Page, dealer in limestones
■and gun-flints, by which occupation, and by a most penurious way of liv-
ing, he had accumulated a fortune of some £12.000. He lived alone, in a
large house, for several years, no one coming near him but an old woman
in the village, who, once a day, went to make his bed. His death was
occasioned by his running a knife into the palm of his hand while opening
an oyster. The wound inflamed, and at length mortified. Though
repeatedly requested to apply to a surgeon, he refused, saying, " All of that
profession were rogues, and would make a job of his misfortune." From
his having died without a will, his money went to a relative in very embar-
rassed circumstances. During the latter years of his life, the miser would
never suffer this poor relative to come to his house, and never gave him
the smallest assistance.
Some years since, a chiffonnier (or rag and r,efuse gatherer) died
intestate in France, having literally " scraped " together 400,000 francs, the
whole of which went to the Heir-at-Law.
MISERS. 91
In another case, the body of an old man named Partridge, a rag and
l)one collector, was discovered on a heap of filth in a room in one of the
iDack streets of Exeter. The deceased was in the habit of prowling about
the city, collecting bones and garbage, and he had been seen to eat morsels
•of food picked up by him in the streets. He lived alone, in a room which
was filled with rags, filth, and vermin. He had complained of illness a
few days before his death, and had, marvelous to I'elate, resorted to -intox-
icating liquors as an antidote, of which he drank freely. After his death,
a savings-bank book was found, from which it appeared he had a large
csum of money in the bank, and had also lent £15 to his landlady, besides
various sums of money to other persons. His death was, without doubt,
oaused by self-neglect, dirty habits, and insufficiency of food. By his
"dying without a will, a nice little windfall reverted to his Next of Kin.
Some years ago, there died at Surrey Hills, Sydney, an old lady,
named Soliff, who was a native of England, and lived alone. None of her

CHAPTER XV.
WILLS.
IF a testament be made in writing and afterwards lost, two unexcep-
tional witnesses who saw and read the document and remembered the
contents thereof, may, on deposing to the tenour of the Will, afford suf-
ficient proof of its having been executed ; and in such cases probate is
usually granted according to the deposition of the witnesses. It is quite
clear, according to the text- books, that the contents or substance of a tes-
tamentary instrument may be established in this way, though the instru-
ment itself cannot be produced, upon satisfactory proof being given that
the instrument was duly made by the testator, and was not revoked by
hini. For example, by showing that the instrument existed after the tes-
tator's death, or that it was destroyed in his lifetime without his privity or
consent. Thus, where a testator had delivered his Will to a friend to take
charge of for him, and died some years afterwards, the Will was found torn
to pieces by rats, and in part illegible ; on proof of the substance of the
Will by the joining of the torn pieces, and by the aid of the memory of
the witnesses, probate was granted.
In a case where, after iAie death of the testator, his Will and Codicil
were, it was alleged, wrongfully torn by his eldest son, the Court having,
by means of some pieces which were saved and by oral evidence, arrived
at the substance of the instrumeats, admitted their validity. But where
allegations of this serious nature are made they must be supported by the
clearest evidence.
In another case, where a Codicil has been burned by order of the tes-
tator, but not in his presence, as required by the statute, probate was
granted on a draft copy. This case shows the necessity of having a.
solicitor at one's elbow, not only when making our testamentary disposi-
tions, but also when destroying them, so that the destruction may be done
in a legalized way.
Where a Will is duly executed, but afterwards destroyed in the life-
time of the testator without his authority, it may be established on satis-
factory proof being given of its contents, and of it having been so de-
stroyed. The law is the same where a wife, having power to dispose of
property by her Will, makes her Will and afterwards destroys it by the com-
pulsion of her husband.
The law as to suppressing or destroying Wills is clearly shown by the
following case : "A person after the death of a testator possessed himself
' of the Will, and suppressed or destroyed it. On these facts being proven
to the satisfaction of the Court, letters of adm-inistration were granted
with the Will annexed to the residuary legatee." A case of this kind was
WILLS. 93
tried in Ireland some seventy-five years ago. The following' is from the
newspaper report of the trial :
" A most extraordinary case was tried at the last Maryborough Assizes.
The facts were these : Kobert Baldwin, in March, 1783, made his will, by
which he devised the lands in question to the children of his youngest son.
Soon after, his faculties failed him ; he became altogether childish, and
died in April, 1784, aged 80 or thereabouts. The defendant, testator's
eldest son, immediately gave out that his father had destroyed the will,
and, no will being found, he entered into possession of the estate, and so
matters remained for twenty-one years, the whole family, during all that
time, believing that their father had died without a will. But, after
twenty-one years, the delusion vanished, and the defendant's own children
became the immediate instruments of justice to the children of his
brother. In 1802 the defendant's wife died, and he soon afterwards, at
the age of 78, married a very young woman, which caused some anxiety
to his two sons, Robert and Edwin, whose poignant expressions of regret
so exasperated their father that he, in his resentment, executed his will to
disinherit his eldest son, Robert, and, in his fit of anger, showed it to his
second son, Edwin, who instantly determined to get at it and destroy it,
in order to preserve the property to his elder brother. With this view he
broke open his father's desk, where he found, not his father's will which
he sought, but the will of his grandfather, which was then altogether for-
gotten' by the family. He read it, and found that the estate of which his
father would have disinherited his brother, lawfully belonged to his
cousins, the children of his late uncle John. He immediately communi-
cated the important discovery to his brother, and he to their uncle Jona-
than, in consequence of which the will was, about the beginning of the
year 1805, lodged in the Prerogative Court. When the defendant was
apprised of the discovery of the will, he said it was very true — his father
never did cancel h's will, but that he did it away by two deeds, by which
he afterwards conveyed the property to him, the defendant, and that those
deeds were both registered. It appeared, indeed, that one such deed had
been registered since the discovery of the will ; and both deeds appearing
foully suspicious, a bill was filed in the Court of Exchequer, the cousins
desiring to have the opinion of a jury on these alleged deeds. After a long
trial, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiffs, with the full approval of
the Judge. By this verdict the plaintiffs (five in number) were restored to
an estate of £300 a year, of which for twenty-five years they had been
deprived by their uncle."
Old uncles (especially wealthy ones) are invariably looked up to with
the profoundest respect by their nieces and nephews, but in this instance
the confiding nephews appear to have been the victims of misplaced
confidence.
A very hard case, namely, an action of ejectment by an eldest son, as
Heir-at-Law, against his own mother, was tried some twenty-five years ago.
Such action would never have been commenced but for the loss of a
carefully-prepared Will. •
In the case of the goods of Miss Helen Jane Gladstone, who died in
Germany in 1880, letters of administration had been granted to her
brothers. Sir Thomas Gladstone and the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone.
After the issuing of the grant, certain bills of costs were found among
some loose papers belongmg to the deceased, from which it appeared that
the lady had made a Will in 1853. Upon further search, the will was
94 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
found. The letters of administration were accordingly reyoked and the
long-missing Will admitted to probate.
In another case, the Will of a gentleman who died in Ireland in
1880, was discoTcred secreted behind a grate in a small back
room, many months after the Heir-at-Law had taken possession of the
estate. The discoyery of the Will altered the destination of £40,000;
instead of the Heir-at-Law being entitled to the whole, the Will showed
that the testator's nephews and nieces were to share equally.
Instances are not unknown of bodies having been exhumed for the pur-
pose of searching for Lost Wills. A case of this sort occurred in 1876.
The facts were these : — In 1870 a clergyman died near Bedford. After
his death, rumors were afloat that a Will had been buried with him, which,
document, if found, would alter the devolution of his estate. The repre-
sentatives of the deceased memorialized the Home Office, and the Home-
Secretary ordered the exhumation of the body. The proceedings were con-
ducted with grave decorum. A bundle of papers was found under the,
body, tied with red tape, but these are said to have been only old love let-
ters ; no Will was found. The'village was in a great state of excitement
during the proceedings, as village gossips would have it that a party of
hody-snatchershad visited the church-yard.
Advertisements for lost Wills are, unfortunately, only too common,
and large rewards are occasionally offered for such missing-documents. In
the case of the late Lord St. Leonards, the sum so offered was £500.- The:
noble Lord had made a Will and several Codicils, but on his death the
Will could nowhere be found. Costly litigation ensued, which resulted in
probate being granted on a copy of the Will drawn up from memory by
his Lordship's daughter. This decision was appealed against, but was upheld.
It should be universally known that the Wills of living persons may
be deposited in a place of security at Somerset House, on payment of a
small fee. The enactment on the subject is 20 & 21 Vict., c. 77, s. 91, and
is as follows: —
" One or more safe and convenient depository or depositories shall be
provided, under the control and directions of the Court of Probate, for all
such Wills of living persons as shall be deposited thefeia for safe custody ;
and all persons may deposit their Wills in such depository upon payment of
such fees and under such regulations as the Judge shall from time to time
by any Order direct."
In givingiudgment in the case of the Lost Will of Lord St. Leonards,.
Mr. Justice Hennen drew attention to this Act of Parliament, and
regretted that the public had not availed themselves of it more exten-
sively.
The following is a specimen of an Advertisement seeking a clue to
a Lost Will:—
" £100 Reward.— Will of Stephen Merris Mills, Esq., wanted. He died
at 25, Charlotte Square, Edinburgh, on June 10, 1858. It is believed that
the Will was placed in a small table in that house, and the table and other
furniture of the house were sold by auction, by Mr. Dowell, on April 18th,
1865. The above reward will be paid if the Will be handed over to . . . .'^
A little more care on the part of testators as to the safe custody of
their Wills, would save endless trouble and litigation, not to mention some-
times life-long family quarrels.
Extraordinary Will cases have a peculiar fascination to many people
■who are not in the smallest degree interested in the result from a money
WILLS. 95
point of view, but only take an interest tnerein as lovers of the curious..
Whimsical Wills have been, and still are, a prolific source of business for
lawyers, and Heirs-at-Law and Next of Kin are occasionally indirectly bene-
fited by a whimsical testator's Will being upset. Probably a solicitor ia
rarely consulted by an intending whimsical testator, from a natural fear
that a damper might be thrown on his designs. Whimsical bequests have
sometimes served a very useful purpose, and instances are not unknown of
such bequests having been made by lawyers themselves. The following is
a case in point :
.William J. Haskett, a lawyer, who died in New York City, left a Will
containing this very curiously worded clause : —
" I am informed that there is a Society composed of young men con-
nected with the public press, and, as in early life,. I was connected with
the papers, I have a keen recollection of the toils and troubles that bubbled
then and ever will bubble for the toilers of the world in their pottage-
cauldron, and, as I desire to thicken with a little savory herb, their thm
broth, in the shape of a legacy, I do hereby bequeath to- the New York Press,
Club, of the City of New York, 1,000 dollars, payable on the death of Mrs*
Haskett."
We have a Newspaper Press Fund in London, and any similar legacy
to that above noted would doubtless be very acceptable.
There is probably no more profitable class of business to a lawyer than
that arising out of the disputes about Wills, and the following extract from
a French Advocate's Will, pithily expresses his opinion of his clients : —
"I give 100,000 francs to the local madhouse. I got this money out of
those who pass their hves in litigation ; in bequeathing it for the use of
lunatics, I only make restitution."
It is recorded of a rich old farmer that in giving instructions for his
Will, he directed a legacy of £100 to be given to his wife. Being informed
that some distinction was usually made in case the widow married again,
he doubled the sum ; and when told that this was quite contrary to custom,
he said, with heartfelt sympathy for his possible successor, " Aye, but him as
gets herll desarve it."
It is possible for a whimsical testator to be very just, and at the sam&
time very caustic, as appears by the following extract from the Will of
John Hylett Stow, proved in 1781 : —
" I hereby direct my executors to lay out five guineas in the purchase
of a picture of the Viper biting the benevolent hand of the person who
saved him from perishing in the snow, if the same can be bought for the
money ; and that they do, in memory of me, present it to .... a King**
Counsel, whereby he may have frequent opportunities of contemplating on
it, and by a comparison between that and his own virtue be able to form
a certain judgment which is best and most profitable, — a grateful remem-
brance of pastjfriendship and almost parental regard, or ingratitude and
insolence. This I direct to be presented to him in lieu of a legacy of £3,.
000 I had by a former will, now revoked and burnt, left him."
If the learned Counsel interested happened to be present at the read-
ing of the Will, his feelings may be well imagined.
That it is most unwise to make, one's own Will, disputed Probate
cases abundantly prove. The following verse from an old number ot
Blackwood's Magazine is appropriate : —
Testators are good ; but a feeling more tender
Springs up when I think of the feminine gender j
96 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
The testatrix for me, who, like Telemaque's mother.
Unweaves at one time what she wove at another.
She bequeaths, she repents, she recalls a donation.
And she ends by revoking her own revokation ;
Still scribbling or scratching some new Codicil, —
Oh ! success to the woman who makes her own Will.
Undoubtedly " a crusty old bachelor" must have been the Parisian
merchant Monsieur Columbies, who, when he died, left £1,300 to a lady
of Rouen, for having, twenty years before, refused to marry him, " through
which," states the will, " I was enabled to live independently and happUy
as a bachelor."'
It has been, and no dwubt will continue to be, the ambition of some
prosperous men to be the founder of a rich and great family, and it has
sometimes happened that, without abandoning this idea, they have, by an
ingenious device, contrived to disappoint their immediate relations. The
Will of Sir John Pakington, proved many years ago may be instanced. J.
S. Eussell, Esq., was his nephew ; at the death of Sir John this nephew
had a son about four years of age, and to the eldest son that might be
born of this child, Sir John bequeathed his large landed estates, so that
the income must have accumulated for nearly forty years before it could
be enjoyed by the prospective legatee ; in default of issue the estates were
to go to the descendants of the second son of Sir W. B. Cook ; and in
case of second default, the property would go to a grandson of Mr. Knight,
of Lee Castle. Sir John thus effectually debarred any of his Next of Kin
living at his death from the enjoyment of his property.
An uncommdn case of eccentricity on the part of an Englishman
occurred some fifty years ago. His Will contained the following unique
provisoes : —
" I bequeath to my monkey, my dear and amusing Jacko, the sum of
£10 sterling per annum, to be employed for his sole and exclusive use and
benefit ; to my faithful dog, Shock, and my well beloved cat, Tib, a pension
of £5 sterling ; and I desire that, in case of the death of either of the three,
the lapsed pension shall pass to the other two, between whom it is to be
equally divided. On the death of all three, the sum appropriated to this
purpose shall become the property of my daughter Gertrude, to whom I
give this preference among my children, because of the large family she
has, and the difficulty she finds in bringing them up."
We have all heard of cases of "waiting for dead men's shoes"; but
it would probably be difficult to find a parallel case to that above noted —
namely, a bequest to a daughter on the falling in of three Hves, — those of
a monkey, a dog, and a cat.
Another instance of a bequest for the support of domestic pets is the
following : —
" In 1875, Mrs. Elizabeth Balls, of Streatham, Surrey, after liberal
Legacies to hospitals and other charitable institutions, set apart the sum
of £65 per annum for the support of her late husband's cab mare, and £5 per
annum for the keep and care of a greyhound ; the mare to be kept in a
comfortable, warm, loose box, and not to be put to work either in or out
of harness, and that her back should not be crossed by any member of her
late husband's family, but that she should be ridden by a person of light
weight, not above four days a week, and not more than one hour each
day, at a walking pace."
Bequests to canine pets often lead to law suits. The history of a case
WILLS. 97
of this kind, tried in 1798, was shortly this : — Mrs. Hannah White, by a
paper purporting to be her last Will and testament, left to the mother of
one of her servants £25 per annum in trust for the maintenance of five
favorite cats, during the course of their natural lives ; to St. George's, and
Middlesex Hospitals, £1,000 each ; a few legacies to domestics, and the
residue of her estate, which was very considerable, to the apothecary at-
tending her person. This curious document was witnessed by an attorney
and the clerk of the parish. The Court of Delegates, on the Will being
disputed by disappointed relatives, heard Sir William Scott in support ot
the Cats and the Apothecary, and other Advocates for the Next of Kin.
The following is the substance of the decree : — " That the bequest to the
apothecary be struck out of the Will, as being no part of the real Will of
the deceased, and that probate be granted to the Next of Kin ; that the
legacies of £35 per annum for the maintenance of the five cats, and the
bequests to the hospitals aforesaid, together with the legacies to the
servants, be confirmed, as being the Will of the deceased." It will thus be
seen that the intentions of this whimsical testatrix were upset, and the Next
of Kin benefited, but how long the cats were allowed to live is not recorded.
In 1800, Mrs. Elizabeth Shaw, of Pontefrdct, by her Will bequeathed
the bulk of her property, valued at £15,000, to her housemaid, Mary Watson.
The Heir-at-Law disputed the validity of the Will, and endeavored to prove
that the deceased was in a complete state of intoxication when she executed
her Will; This allegation, however, was not sustained, and the fortunate
housemaid gained the day. If Mary were intoxicated with delight at her
good fortune, such a frame of mind can be easily understood under the
circumstances, but it was too bad of the disappointed Heir-at-Law to try
to prove this whimsical testatrix "drunk aud incapable."
A curious, and I may add a peculiarly hard, case came before Vice-
Chancellor Bacon in 1880. Thefacts were these :-" Miss Turner devised large
real estates to her father for life, and then to her brother, on the following
conditions : — " But if my brother shall marry during my life without my
consent in writing, or if he shall already have married, or shall hereafter
marry a domestic servant, or a person who has been a domestic servant,"
then such bequest to her brother to be void. The brother came into pos-
session of the said estates, and died in 1878, leaving a widow and two chil-
dren. The suit was instituted against the widow and children, on the
ground that the testatrix's brother had forfeited his title to the legacy by
marrying a domestic servant. It was contended, on behalf of the
widow, that she had been a housekeeper, and not a domestic servant. The
Vice-Ohancellor, however, was of opinion that a housekeeper was a domes-
tic servant, and thus the legacy was forfeited.
A bequest, made by a Frenchman, may truly be styled " A new way
to pay old debts." Vaugelas, the famous French grammarian, was in
receipt of several pensions, but so prodigal was he in his charities, that he
not only always remaines poor but was rarely out of debt, and finally
acquired among his intimates the sobriquet of Le Hihou, from his compul-
sory assumption of the habits of the owl, and only venturing in to the
streets at night. After disposing of the little he possessed to meet the
claims of his creditors, he adds : —
" Still, as it may be found that even after the sale of my library and
effects these funds will not suffice to pay my debts, the only means I can
think of to meet them is thafmy body should be sold .to the surgeons on
the best terms that can be obtained, and the product applied, as far as it

■will go, towards the liquidation of any sums it may be found I still owe ; I
have been of very little service to society while I lived, I shall be glad if I
can thus become of any use after I am dead."
Whether the creditors accepted this well-intentioned bequest in part
"satisfaction of their claims is not recorded.
Some few years since, a lady bequeathed her body to the Hunterian
Museum for dissection, "understanding the Museum to be in great want
of pathological specimens." After dissection, her body to be burned.
In l'?74 a Mr Whitehead, much admired for his many literary pubK-
eations, bequeathed, among other whimsical legacies : "his heart, with £50,
to Lord le Despenser."
There is very little doubt that the fear of being thought eccentric or
singular, prevents a good many people from giving vent to their pecu-
liarities during life. But this fear of public opinion altogether loses its
influence in the matter of testamentary dispositions. When, in the pres-
ence of an expectant throng of bereaved relatives, the reading of the Will
takes place, the testator is quite beyond either reproach or reply. This
probably accounts for many a whimsical bequest, and when an expectant
legatee finds in place of a legacy, only a few personal failings pointed out,
he receives an unkind cut indeed.
Dr. Dunlop, of Scotch origin, afterwards a Member of the United
States Senate, left a very singular Will. It has often been commented on,
owing to its extreme singularity ; but its principal provisions are so amus-
ing, that no apology is necessary for reproducing them. The doctor is
described as having been a jovial and kindly man, and his WiU certainly bears
out this character. In it he says : —
"I leave the property of Gairbread, and all the property I may be pos-
sessed of, to my sisters, and ; the former because she is
married to a minister who — may God help him — she henpecks ; the latter
because she is married to nobody, nor is she likely to be, for she is an old
maid and not market rife I leave my silver tankard to the eldest
son of old John, as the representative of the family. I would have left it
to old John himself, but he would have melted it down to make temperance
medals, and that would have been a sacrilege. However, I leave him my
big horn snufE-box ; he can only make temperajace horn spoons out of that.
.... I leave my brother-in-law, Allan, my punch-bowl, as he is a big,
gauchy man, and likely to do credit to it I leave to Parson Che>:
vassie my big silver snuff -box as a small token of gratitude to him for tak-
ing my sister Maggie, whom no man of taste would have taken I
leave to John Caddell, a silver tea-pot, to the end that he may drink tea
therefrom to comfort him under the affliction of a slatternly wife
I leave my silver cup, with the sovereign in the bottom of it, to my sister
, because she is an old maid, and pious, and therefore necessarily
given to hoarding ; and also my grandmother's snufE-box, as it looks decent
to see an old maid taking snuff "
It was well for this affectionate brother that he had gone heavenward!
before the gist of his testamentary benefactions were made known, other-
wise he might have been "interviewed" by his scandalized sisters.
The following very whimsical bequest I take from a Scotch newspaper :
— " Some years ago an English gentleman bequeathed to his two daughters
their weight in £1 bank notes. A finer pair of paper weights has never yet
been heard of, for the eldest daughter got £51,200, and the younger-
£57,344."
WILLS. 99
The Will of Dr. Johnson, the celebrated lexicographer, who died in
1784, is noteworthy ; by it the bulk of his property was left to " his faith-
ful black servant.
The Chevalier Francois de Kosaz, who died in 1876, and who is reported
to have been very successful in prosecuting claims for persons interested iu
Unclaimed Money, left a very singular Will. His personal estate was sworn
under £45,000. The testator seems to have believed that in a " multitude
of counselors there is wisdom," for he appointed no less than seven execu-
tors. His Will contains this very extraordinary paragraph : —
" I beg and supplicate our Merciful Eedeemer to receive every one of
us in His Holy Paradise. I supplicate our very Holy Mother, the Virgin
Mary, the very Holy Mother of God, an'fl all the angels and archangels,
and all the cherubim and seraphim, all the throne and denominations, all
the dominions and virtuesses of the heavens, all the saints and the seven
million martyrs of the prosecution against our very holy religion, and all
the inhabitants of the heavens, to obtain pity, mercy, and pardon of God
for all our beloved family."
The bulk of his property he bequeathed to his wife for life ; on her
death, certain French and Italian Funds were to be set aside as a provision
for charities in France ; the entire residue of his property was to be applied
in founding a Catholic Asylum for thirty orphan girls, a Protestant Asy-
lum for thirty orphan girls, and charities for the relief of the infirm and
distressed. A Chancery suit arose on the construction to be put on this
whimsical testator's bequests, and the Heir-at-Law of the Chevalier was
inquired for.
Peculiarly-worded Wills have led to the waste of many a goodly pat-
rimony. Heirs, executors, and beneficiaries seem to take intense delight
in squabbling over a testator's intentions. Montaigne, the celebrated phil-
osopher, is stated to have got over any difficulties in the way of carrying
out his testamentary intentions by the happy expedient of calling all the
persons named in his Will around his death-bed, and counting out to them
severally the bequest he had made them. Many a whimsical testator
might usefully follow Montaigne's example ; but there is always a risk of
the donor getting better, and finding himself penniless. I once heard of a
ease of this sort. A small farmer in Suffolk, being very ill, was advised
by his affectionate relatives to distribute his money, and thus save legacy
duty. He did so, but got well again. The relatives declined to re-coup
these supposed death-bed gifts, and left the poor old farmer to seek parish
relief. Cases of this kind, it is to be hoped, are very rare.
Khyming Wills are scarce, but amusing. In a case decided in the Pro-
bate Court in 1875, the testator made a codicil to his Will, as follows : —
I, having neither kith nor kin,
Bequeath all I have named herein
To Margaret, my dearest wife.
To have and hold as hers for life,
While in good health and sound in mind
This codicil I've undersigned.
His wife and executors having predeceased him, probate was granted to the
Crown Solicitor, there being no Next of Kin. The publicity given to the
case may be the means of bringing to the knowledge of some distant rela-
tives of this evidently well-intentioned testator the news that the Crown
holds, in trust, funds for their benefit.

Another curious specimen of a Will in rhyme is that of a Mr. John
Hedges. The original may be seen at Somerset House : —
The fifth day of May,
Being airy and gay,
And to hyp not inclined.
But of vigorous mind,
And my body in health,
I'll dispose of my wealth.
And all I'm to leave,
On this side the grave.
To some one or other,
And I think to my brother,
Because I foresaw
That my brethren-in-law,
If I dil not take care,
Would come in for their share.
Which I nowise intended.
Till their manners are mended.
And of that, God knows there's no sign.
I do therefore enjoin.
And do strictly command.
Of which witness my hand.
That nought I have got
Be brought into hotch-pot ;
And I give and devise.
As much as in rae lies.
To the son of my mother.
My own dear brother.
To have and to hold
All my silver and gold.
As the affectionate pledges ,
Of his brother —
John Hedges.
The following is an instance ot marreious good fortune for a day
laborer, arising out of the "Will of an eccentric testator: — In 1773, —
Edmunds, Esq., of Monmouth, bequeathed a fortune of upwards of £30,-
000 to one Mills, a day laborer, residing near Monmouth. Mr. Edmunds,
who so handsomely provided for this man, would not speak to or see him
while he lived.
Again, in 1775, a Mr. Henry Furstone, of Alton, Hampshire, died
worth about £7,000 in the funds, and having no relation, he left this large
sum of money to "the first man of his name who shall produce a woman
of the same name, to be paid them on the day of their marriage."
We have all heard of unmanageable sons and scapegrace nephews
being cut off with a shilling, but the following case of a wife having the
sum of only one shilling bequeathed to her is very sarcastic, and shows to
what lengths a long-suffering Benedict may be driven. In 1772, John
G e, Esq., of Surrey, died, and his Will contains this clause :
" Whereas, it was my misfortune to be made very uneasy by . . . my
wife, for many years from our marriage, by her turbulent behaviour, for
she was not content with despising my admonition, but she contrived every
method to make me unhappy ; she was so perverse to her nature that she
would not be reclaimed, but seemed only to be born to be a plague to me ;
the strength of Samson, the knowledge of Homer, the prudence of
Augustus, the cunning of Pyrrhus, the patience of JdbJ the subtlety of
Hannibal, and the watchfulness of Hermogones, could not have been suffi-
cient to subdue her ; for no skill or force in the world would make her
good ; and as we had lived separate and apart from each other eight
years, and she having perverted her son to leave and totally abandon me,
therefore I give her one shilling only."
One of the most whimsical bequests is recorded in a probate case
decided in 1879. The testator left £10 to the undertaker who buried his
wife.
A French lady, who died in 1882, desired by her Will that her heart
might be placed in the tomb of her second husband, but her body in her
first husband's tomb, in America.
Mr. John Innes, a well-to-do Lincolnshire farmer, was evidently of
opinion that a son having "expectations" is far less energetic than one
having none, for it is recorded that he, for many years, suffered his son to

go to another farmer as a laborer, but by his Will he left his hard-wofTong
son the handsome fortune of £15,000.
In the vrell-known Thellusson Will case, it has been computed that,
had the testator's intentions been carried out in their entirety, the sum of
money to be divided amongst the Next of Kin at the end of the period
fixed by the Will for the money to accumulate, would have amounted to
£140,000,000, or thereabouts.
The following case is interesting, as showing how prodigiously money
accumulates at compound interest :
" M. Ricard appointed by his Will that the sum of 500 livres should be
divided into five portions. The first, at the end of a hundred years,
amounting to 13,100 livres, to be laid out in prizes for dissertations proving
the lawfulness of putting out money to interest. The second, at the end
of two centuries, amounting to 1,700 000 livres, to be employed in estab-
lishing a perpetual fund for prizes in literature and arts, and for virtuous
actions. The third, at the end of three centuries, amounting to more than
226 millions of livres, to be employed for establishing patriotic banks, and
founding museums with ample establishments. The fourth, at the' end of
four centuries, amounting to 30,000 millions, to be employed in building a
hundred towns in France, containing each 150,000 inhabitants. The fifth,
at the end of five centuries, amounting to four millions of millions of
livres, to be appropriated for the payment of the National Debt of Britain
and Prance, for producing an annual revenue to be divided among all the
Powers of Europe, for buying up useless offices, purchasing a royal domain,
increasing the income of the clergy, and abolishing fees for masses, for
maintaining all children born in France till they be three years of age, for
improving waste lands and bestowing them on married peasants, for pur-
chasing manors and exempting the vassals from all servitude, ior founding
houses of education, workhouses, houses of health, and asylums for
females, for portioning young women, for conferring honorary rewards
on merit ; besides a large surplus to be appointed at the discretion of his
executors."
In the list of Dormant Funds in Chancery there is an entry — " The
one hundred years term account." Can it have reference to the following
whimsical Will case, a note of which appeared in the Madrid newspapers :
— " A Spaniard, Juan Delgado, died, leaving a Will endorsed to the effect
that it should not be opened until one hundred years after his death. The
hundred years having elapsed, it is not surprising to find that the deposi-
tory of the Will, as also the location of the property, are anxiously
inquired for," — no doubt by expectant Next of Kin.
A very short Will was proved in 1881. The exact words are these : —
"All that I possess in the world I leave to my wife." But a still shorter
one is recorded thus: — "Everything to my brother Tom." — Preston's
In the principal registry of Her Majesty's Coiirt of Probate, at Som-
erset House, there are Wills of which " approbation " was " had and
obtained " nearly 500 years ago. The &c8t Will recorded is in the year
1383, and is in Latin, as most of the very early Wills are. The first
Will written in English is that of Lady Alice West, widow of Sir Thomas
West, and was proven on September 1, 1395. It begins thus : — " In dei
nomine. Amen. On Thursday — that is to sey, the xv day of the moneth
of Jul, in the yer of the iucarnacion of our Lord Ihu Crist a thousand
and thre hundred and fourscore and fiftene — 1, Alice West, lady of Hyn-

ton Martel, in liool estat of my body and in good mynde beynge, make my
testament in the maner as hit folweth hereafter : In the begynnyng, I
bequethe my soule to G-od Almighty and to his moder, Seynt Marie, and
to al the seyntis of heuene, and my body to be beryed in Crischerch, in
the priorie of the chanones in Hamptschire, by the Newe Forest, wher as
myne auncestors leggeth." The writing of a Will of 1395 is not to be read
as easily as the writing of the present day, in consequence of the difficul-
ties connected with the different shape of the letters, the variations in and
the uncertainty of the spelling, the unfamiliar abbreviations, and the
obsolete words ; but from the laborious carefulness with which they were
originally engrossed, the pains taken with the formation of each letter,
putting to shame the slipshod writing of the present day, and the great
care taken of them by the officials who have their custody, they are in a
wonderful state of preservation, and far more perfect and legible than
many wills and documents of a much later date. The very slowness with
which they were written seems to have been the means of rendering them,
so far as writing can be made so, permanent. The writing has in many
places, where the ink has faded, been since touched up; and in some
places, where the parchment is worn, the words are illegible ; but, gener-
ally, the writing stands out sharp and distinct, although a little browned
by age. The Wills of persons of position were, in spirit, much the same
in the fourteenth century as they now are ; there are pecuniary and specific
legacies to relatives, legacies to old and present servants, legacies for
charitable purposes, and particular directions about the funeral and place
of burial. Dame Alice West's Will is too long to give at length; but
some extracts, showing the articles which at that period were so valuable
as to be specially bequeathed, the amounts of the legacies, and the persons
to whom they were left, may prove interesting. The lady commences the
disposition of her property as follows ■.^-" Also I devyse to Thomas, my
sone, a bed of tapicers work, with all the tapices of sute, red of colour,
ypouthered with chapes and scochons in the corners of myn auncestres
armes, with that I bequethe to the same Thomas the stoffe longyng
therto — that is to seye, my beste fether-bed and. a clu canevas and a mat-
eras and twey blankettys and a peyre schetes of reynes and sex of my best
pilwes," which he will choose. ^' Also, I bequethe to the same Thomas,
my sone, a peyre matyns book and a peir bedes, and a ryng with which I
was yspoused to God, which were my lordes his faderes." Except among
small farmers and shopkeepers in Wales, by whom it is a common custom
to bequeath bedding to- different members of the family, it is an unusual
thing in the present day to dispose of it in this manner by Will ; and the
reasofi is that feather-beds, mattresses, pillows, blankets, and sheets are
comparatively cheap, and the use of them not confined to the wealthy ;
but in Lady Alice's time they must have been articles of luxury, and a con-
siderable item in the dower of a bride. There are several bequests of beds
in the Will which point to this conclusion — in one, forty marcs are
bequeathed to Beatrice Wareyn, "and a bed convenable for a gentel-
woman ;" in another, testatrix bequeaths " to Idkyne, my chambrer, £20,
and a bed convenable for her estat." Tetetatrix next thinks of her
daughter-in-law. "Also I bequethe to Johane my dough ter, my sone is
wyf, a masse book and alle the bokes that I have of latyn, englisch, and
frensch out take the forsayd matyns book that is bequeth to Thomas my
sone. Also I bequethe to the same Johane all my vestyments of my
chapell and my tapites whit and red paled, and blu and red paled, with
WILLS. 103
alle my grene tapites that longeth to my chapell forsayd, g,ad with the
irontels of the forsayd auter, and with all the rydells aud trussing cofres
•and all other apparaile that longeth to my chapelle forsayd." We wonder
what books she had, and particularly what English books ; a list of them
would be most interesting. She could not have had many, and we cannot
■suggest what they were. It must be remembered that this Will was made
more than five years before the death of Chaucer, and nearly eighty years
before the first book was printed in English, and books in Enghsh must
consequently have been few indeed ; their scarcity made them of great
value, they were carefully treasured, and their future ownership specially
provided, for by Will. Something might be said as to the education of
ladies of the highest class at that time. Here was a lady possessing books
in English, Latin, and French, which it is presumable she could read,
Latin, however, was the language of her religion ; French was probably
the tongue she was brought up in, and was the language of the Court ;
and English was the language of her dependents ; so that, almost as a
matter of necessity, every lady of rank must hav.e been familiar with all
three languages.. There are several other legacies to testatrix's daughter-
in-law, Johane. She gets, among other things, *' a basyn of silver, with
boses upon the brerdes, and " a chales,'' we suppose for use in her chapel ;
and " my chare, and that I have longyng thereto. Also a chariot with
twey standardes heled with lether which that serveth for myn barneys."
Then come gilts to other mefnbers of her family: — To "Sir Nichol
Clifton, Knyght, and to Alianore, his wif, my donghter, and to Thomas
Clifton, here son, £130, euenliche to be departed betwix ham thre ; and if
Thomas here sone forsayd deyeth, I wol that it tome to profet of his
fader and his moder ;" and to, " my suster Dame Luce Pitzherberd, prior-
isse of Sheftebury, £40." ; The three following legacies speak for them-
selves : — "Also I bequethe ^40 to be departed among alle my servants, men
and women of myn household, as well for their attendance on Thomas
her sone as for her, and as welto hem that I have eny thyng bequethe to
in this testament as to hem that I have nothyng bequethe, and I wole that
it be departed trewely to every, man and woman after his degre." "Also I
bequethe £40 to be departed among my pouere tenantes where I have
lordshype — that is to seye,. to hem -that have most nede." "Also I
bequethe to Richard Ff orster, \which is a blyndman that was somtyme ser-
vant with my f orsed lord, 20 ihajcs." We should not expect to find any
Will previously to the Reformation without a legacy to say masses. Lady
West gives £18, 10s, "for to,-synge and seye 4,400 masses for my lord Sir
Thomas West is soule, and for myne, and for alle cristene soules," and
they are to be " done " within " fourteen night after her deces." If it is
reckoned up, it will be found that masses then cost about a penny each.
There is another bequest t6. Christ Church, where she was to be buried,
■" to bidde and to rede and synge for iny. Iprdes soule forsayd, and myn,
and alle cristene soules, while' the world sclial laste." Testatrix gives many
sums of 100 shillings to bodies of religious women and communities of
brothers, among others to the religious women the " menouresses" liv-
ing without Aldgate of London, the " freres prechoure" within Ludgate of
London in Plet-street, the Augustine brothers within Bishopsgate, and the
Hospital of Seynt Marie Maudeleyne above Wynchester, and sometimes is
added, " to the priests belonging to the same," " to be departed among
them by evene portions for to synge and rede divine service, and to preye
for my forseyd lordes soule and myn, and for alle cristene soules, and for
104 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
the estat of Thomas my sone and Johane his 'wif and her children," and
some smaller sums to several recluses for the same object. Having given
iill the legacies she desires, the testatrix then disposes of the remainder of
lier property : — " An al the residue of my godes, after the dettys that I owe
ben quyt, and after my testament is parfoned, I bequethe to the foreayd
Thomas my sone ;" and, after all these directions and legacies, the good
lady finishes her Will by ordering the manner of her own interment ;
when she^dies her body is to be carried "to the forsayd priorie of Chris-
cherch,, and with right litel cost," buried at the first masse, with a taper
of six pounds of wax burning at her head, and another taper of six pounds
of wax burning at her feet.
CHAPTER XVI.
LAPSED LEGACIES.
IN" 1852 this adTertisement appeared : " Notice. — If Mr. William SnoTT-
don. Joiner, late of West Herrington, in the County of Durham,
will apply to any of the parties mentioned below, he will hear of some-
thing to his advantage "
Mr. Snowdon, however, did not apply, and the result was a Chancerj
suit, asking the directions of the Court, as to the disposal of the funds
accumulated by reason of this legatee's disappearance. A decree was
made by Vice-Chancellor Stuart directing (among other things) . inquiry
as to whether the aforesaid William Snowdon was living or dead. In con-
sequence of that decree, further advertisements were issued, but thfr
missing legatee was not traced. The matter came on again before Vice-
Chancellor Stuart, and the following is an extract from the Vice-Ohancel»
tor's judgment :
"The rule was well-established that if a person could be shown not to-
have been heard of since a given day, and seven years or more have
elapsed, one might presume at the expiration of that time that he was
dead. Of course he might reappear, and such cases had happened. Thfr
executors in this case caused advertisementa to be inserted in the news-
papers respecting William Snowdon without effect, but that was no evi-
dence that he died before •sthe testator. There was no sufficient evidence to-
presume that he died at any particular time during the seven years. H&
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 oam©^
before Vice-Chancellor Malins, and in which a sum of £34,834 lis. 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, theu 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 MARTINDALB'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
From that time till the institution of the suit the son had never been heard
of. In 1870 advertisements were inserted as follows :
"Tvt'ENTY Pounds Kewaed. — To Kegistrars of Deaths and Parish
Clerks, Tailors' Trade Societies, and Masters of Union and other Work-
houses. — Wanted, information of. la 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 ternpted to reply thereto. The
notice seems carefully worded 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,
leavii\g 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 haying
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
lemained another question, when did he die? Mrs. Johnson, the sister
■was now dead. Jf her brother died in her lifetime, she would, as one of
his Kext 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 woiild not be bound by her settlement of her
interest in it. The only conclusipn at which the Vice-Chancellor could
^arrive on this part of the case was that Henry Stuart Duncombe was now
certainly 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 Duucombe should
be found to be living, he must resort to his brother and nephew for the
Tepayment 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
Tie 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
£35,000, 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 niultiplepoinding and exoneration, instituted
in 1859,. at the instance of Mr.C. 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-
4;ion,of Gavin Maltman, who went abroad about 1814. This Gavin Malt-
man, who was born in November, 1793, 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
dourt, in consideration of Gavin Maltmau'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 aUve, 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 wUl doubtless be some cases of hardship arising, by reason of
the missing Heirs-at-Law returning home afte.r 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, unf ort-
Tinately, 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. —

CHAPTER XVII.
MISSING EELATIYES.
THEKE 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 festive
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: —
"Paeticulae Notice. — Missing Relatives. — Frederick Foot and
B. Foot (sons of Matthew Foot, late of Enniskerry, in the countyof Wicklow,

information relating to the above parties will be thankfully received.

are invaluable as a means of tracing Missing Relatives: —
"Missing Relative. — Thomas Allen or his Representative, who'
went from London to Australia about %% years ago, will hear of something

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 : —

cause of ..... . such of the Poor Relations of Feancis Hodgson, late

time in the month of February, 1785), to whom he did not, in and by his.

Here is another curious Missing Relative Advertisement : —

The following extraordinary Advertisement appeared in 1836 ; there
are doubtless numbers of people equally as anxious as the advertiser was
as to an uncle's testamentary dispositions : —
" The Advertisbb Wishes to Find His Uncle 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-

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 know if they

the effects laid at Burnham."

Many domestic complications result from husbands leaving their homes,
as appears from the following case: — In 1850 Maria Dunster 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 18 71 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 li-Ning with Mr. Melhuish, or at the time of going
through the ceremony of marriage with him, she had ever heard of her
husband, and afiBrmed 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."

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 : —

In 1882 Sir James Hannen had to adjudicate on the following pecu-

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 apphed for letters of administration.
AfBdavits were read in support of these facts, and the learned President
granted the application."
Noth withstanding lavish expenditure of time and money, efforts ta
trace • Missing Relatives 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 Ereius 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 Johni
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 then
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 Thousand Pounds Reward offered by Lady Franklin to
MISSING RELATIVES. Ill
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 Erelibs 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.
£1 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
Austraha, 300 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 Trn'onto-
Mail, and with it I may appropriately close these jottings on Missing Rela-
tives : —
"About twenty years ago ia 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 langiiage, 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 son
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 £6,325 in full, and gave him discharges abso-
lute (which was occasioned by the faihng 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 God to bless fhis endeavours with some
small estate : He, therefore, in gratitude and justice, invites them to
receive the full remaihder 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 ia 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 whitewashmg,
112
UNEXPECTED ASSETS. 113
and prospered again, might take the hint with the prospect of a wonder-
fully relieved conscience. .
Here is another specimen of what may be called an Unexpected Asset
Advertisement : —
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 & Carson, Prince's Street.
Jane Clarke, Regent Street.
Sarah Shirley, Salisbury Square.
Watson & Co., Grutter Lane.
Wm. Prazier, Norfolk Street, Strand.
Thos. Caldwell, New Bridge Street, Black-
friars. .
J. & W. Hayward, Oxford Street, all in the
John Thomas, Dover Street. City of London.
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 Alvanley's Creditors. The following 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 ]»748, 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 applied 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, 1793, made another Report,
and in July, 1793, 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 Eeport, 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 1793, 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 that 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 dif&culties which
necessitated either the creditors taking a composition of a few shillings in
the pound, or losing the whole. These bid accounts have long since been
forgotten, the original creditors having died, and nothing more is done in
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 wliose 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 Deed
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."

On the transfer of the East Indian Railway to the Government, in
the year 1880, the " Surplus Assets " of the Company amounted to about
£110,000, arising from unclaimed dividends, interest on investments there-
of, etc. No list of the persons entitled to these Unexpected Assets was
published, as in the Thames Tunnel Company case before referred to
(page 108). 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 Eepresentatives are often over-
looked by the persons interested, owing to the Advertisement not appear-
ing among ISText of Kin notices. The following was inserted in a long
string of Trustee Eelief Act Advertisements, but it contains remarkable •
good news concerning Unexpected Assets : —
"Joseph Lomas, Deceased. — Whereas, Joseph Lomas, late of . . . was
... in the year 1831 .... 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 ihem. And whereas, the said Jo-
seph Lomas died .... having by his will ma(fe certain provisions with
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 ring.
116 MARTINDALE'S UNCLAIMED MONEY MANUAL.
In the other case the creditors of a Mr. Archbald Winterbottom (who
failed some fifteen years ago for £50,000, and paid a composition of lOs.
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 years after a testator's decease :
"Whereas, certain sums of Stock and Cash, of the value of £13,000
or thereabouts, are now standing to the credit of an old suit in Chancery
.... which sums are alleged to be payable to the Ceeditoes of Chakles
PiTFiELD, formerly of Middlesex, who died in 1740, whose names are set
out in the Eeport of Master Lane, bearing date August 9, 1793 ....
And whereas certain of the said Creditors did not receive the amounts
directed to be paid to them, and the said sums of Stock and 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. Now, 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.J —
Preston's Unclaimed Money.
A romantic instance of restitution appeared in Chamber's Edinburgh
Journal some fifty years ago. The narrative is headed, "Curious how
things come about sometimes," and the following is a sumtnary 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 himseB, 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, and 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 him, but
they could 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-
ward 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 Kapsley 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 Eapsley was an
emancipated convict, and the Warringtons consequently gave him the cold
shoulder, but he would not take the hint that his soqjety was not wanted.
At last this very undesirable neighbor requested a private interview with
Mr. Warrington, which was granted. Prom the interview Mr. Warrington
returned in a very excited state. It turned out that Eapsley was the iden-
tical person who.had committed the memorable robbery, and that he was
anxious to refund 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 Eapsley,
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 silver, in coin, plate, bullyon hath been of ancient
time hidden, wheresoever it be found, -whereof no person can prove
any property, 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 law ; that such goods whereof no person can
claim property belong to the King, as Avrecks, 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 not 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 Eoman 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 Municipality paid the finder the
handsome sum of 18,293 francs for his half of the treasure."
There was a discussion in Parliament, in 1877, as to whether some
very valuable 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 that 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 Eeturns on the subject.
In the year 1818 a curious] Treasure Trove case was decided. The
following is the short history of it : — The plaintiffs were the executors of
a Mr. Noakes, 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 what
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
t6 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
Eevolution in 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-

CHAPTER XX.
ESCHEATS.
UNDER 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
very important to be known in this country, masmuch 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, cadere: Brett. 28a.; Litt.
§683 ; 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 93b) or to the Crown." It is derivM from the Feudal Rule :
" 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. Real prop. 136), 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, so 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. Real property 138 ; 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 oflEice 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 (3) aid per. delictum tetientis,
(for felony). The latter takes place where a person is outlawed for felony,
upon 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 judgment 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. 33 ; 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. 131
'descended, into the place of ■which it comes. (Burt Comp; 335 : Hargravis
note to Co. Litt. 18 b).
Escheat is minutely defined in 2 Bl. Com. 344. As to how it arises
see 9 Mass.364, 368. As to title thereby see 1 Chit. Gen. Pr. 379.
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. 189 ; 1 Brown

An action of ejectment commenced by writ of summons has taken
the place of the ancient writ 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. 380,) and
the lord could only seize for want of an heir guousqm, 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 topersonal 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 thirty 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
Tecognized 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
123

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 favor, which to our
certain knowledge has been frequently done.

UNCLAIMED ESTATES IN THE COURT
OF CHANCERY.
The following two extracts will give some idea of the enormous amount of money
lying unclaimed in the Court of Chancery, in England i—
(Prom The Times of 8th October, 1873.)
"The Chanoeet 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 i;50,
was continued to the benefit of the recipients who had before the Chancery Funds Act of 1872
was 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, aad
£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 th»
Court on 1st of October last £2,423,340."
(Prom The Times of 7th October, 1874.)
" In Chanoeby. — 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
August, 1873, the securities and money in the Court of Chancery 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-
solidated 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, &o.,
all brought into Court for safe keeping during some strife or suit. There are also a large
number of boxes and miscellaneous effects in the Bank of England, deposited there on behalf
of the Court of Chancery — boxes containing securities, jewelry, title-deeds, a will, 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 3l8t 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) pari 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 notf 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 effect. 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 ia
very large. Unclaimed dividends on the public ' Fimds ' have accumulated until the
amount reached £991,711, in April, 1873, Cut at the beginning of the present year the
amount 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 suras are due to old soldiers and
sailors, or their next of kin, and it should be known that these moneys are easily recoveiv
able by the proper parties."
CONCLUSION.
FOE information concerning the following lists, we refer the reader to
pages 6, 7, and 8 of this Manual. Additional lists will be inserted in
«ach successive issue of the Manual, which will be revised and pubhshed
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 sterliny awaiting Next of Kin, and Leonard
H. Smith, in "List 17," who, amongst other property, left $10,000 in U.
S. Government 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
vranted, 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 Bureau. 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't Manaffer.

Note A.— The wife is only entitled to thetiiird of the gross rental of thereat estate for life as her dower, but in most cases
this is barred, rather as a matter of form by lawyers, than for any other reason, and she then takes no interest in the real
estate.
Note £.~ThiB only applies to real estate in possession ; the husband would take no benefit flrom his wife's rerersionary
interests in real estate.
Note £?.— Children who have had advances from the/af/101' in the lifetime are to bring them inti account.
Note JD.— The abuve table to successions to real property does^otextend to the decease of any person dying before 1st Jan-
uary, 1834, nor to Gavelkind lands in Kent and other places, nor to land held subject to Borough English custom, nor to
Copyholds, nor to Estates Tail.
Note E.— The husb ind is entitled by canon law right and not under the Statute of Distributions. He would, therefore, he-
excluded from taking any share of his wife's effects if given by any deed or will to " her next of kin " at her decease.-*
