Something About the Many Millions That
Await Claimants in English Banks
and Courts.
si. Y. World.
There are are few subjects mere inter
esting and especially te readers in tbe
new world than that treated by Mr. Ed
ward Preston, of 1 Great College street
Westminster, S. W., the well-known com
piler of "Chamber's Index te Next of Kin,"
in his little volume, "Unclaimed Meney.' '
As te the extent of the work covered in
such an "Index" jt may be said that the
nrrrtTiir rkli,win,y f t,e T.nnrfnn Wm Fm
one year contained some two thousand no
tices. In twenty-six cases the treasury so
licitor advertised for the next of kiu. The
amount of money reverting te the crown
is rarely made public, but in the famous
case of Mrs. Helen Blake, of Kensington.
tbe persenalty alone amounted te $700,000
aud the last Parliamentary return showed
receipts by the Crown of windfalls "
amounting te 303,302. In many ether
cases large rewards were offered fur bap
tismal, marriage and burial certificates.
The descendcuts were advertised for of
the Braats, born in 1778 ane 1782 ; of a
baronet who died in 1724 ; of a couple that
married in 1708 ; of a person who came te
America in 1G83. A cab-driver was want
ed te take possossien of a fortune, a pau
per at IIull te receive 30,000 bequeathed
by a Scottish nobleman. The baptismal
certificate of the son of the Earl of Dcla
mcre was wanted, aud 2e0 were offered
for a clue te the marriage settlement of a
rich man, who, dying suddenty, could only
mutter anxiously, ".Lincoln's Inn i lclds."
There were many people who would " find
it te their advantage" te reveal themselves
some had net been heard of since 1798,
one had fallen heir te 12,000.
On the subject of dormant funds in
Ulinnccry Jlr. 1'resten tells us that since
1725 all money and effects have been given
into the custody of the Bank of England.
In 1829 the total amount of suitors' stock
then in court was nearly 38,000,000. In
1853 the Suitors' further relief act was
passed, by which the Lord Chancellor was
empowered te investigate accounts the
dividends en which bad net been dealt
with for fifteen years or mere and where
he was of opinion that it was net probable
any claim would be made for the same te
make eiders for the appropriation of
future dividends for the benefit of the
suitors, direction being also given for a
similar investigation at the end of every
five years. In 1834 the suitors' stock then
iu court amounted te 4G, 000,000 and there
were 5GG accounts ameuntiug te mere
than 236,000 that had net been dealt
with for fifteen years. On publication of
the list about one-half of the stock was
transferred out of court te successful
claimants. The list of dormant funds
in chancery .printed in the Louden Gazette
in 1872 filled thirty pages and contained
2,500 names, besides which there were
eighty entries of articles at the bank be
longing te suiteis in Chancery, such as
' five chests and one box, marked ' plate
and jewelry ;' " "a box marked, 'diamond
necklace, coronet and ear lings ;' " "a box
containing documents of title, jewels,
trinkets, watches and personal ornaments;"
and the like. The unclaimed funds iu
chancery have been used te lighten the
burden of taxation, and the new law courts
wete built with the unclaimed interest of
these funds.
Among the instances given of successful
claims upon the government for the ic
fuuding of estates which had reverted te
the crown by reason of persons dying in
testate and leaving no known next of kin,
several are worth quoting. A four line
notice of the death of Mrs. Maria Mangin
Biown iu 1S72 secured 192,535 te four
claimants from Italy. In 18C1 the rela
tives of Brigadier General Geerge Kehler,
who died in Egypt in 1800, obtained his
property iiem the Crown, the
principal ameuutiug te about 3,000 and
the interest te 15,000. Themas Dewell
died intestate in 18-G, leaving an estate of
2,004 ; this the next of kiu recovered 'in
1858, with interest, the vice chancellor
ruling that " the crown had no right te
have money, as it were, wrapped up in a
napkin." In 1842 Mr. Jehn Turner died
intestate, aud when some years later his
estate was claimed, the crown had te re
place 57,000 of stock sold and covered
into the treasury, and pay interest en it at
4 per cent. And se en. There arc also
funds te a large amount lying dormant iu
India, lists of which are regularly pub
lished, while the Crewu agents of the
colonies print schedules of intestates. One
single list in New Seuth Wales contained
150 names, mostly these of miners and ex
plorers, the assets ranging from a few
sovereigns te 4,000. Anether list from
the Cape of Geed Hepe contained 500 en
tries, the sums involved ranging up
te 1,200. Of army prize money, tee,
a large share is i ever claimed ; be
tween 1809 and 1870 the commissioners of
Chelsea hospital received 1,890,451, of
which only 1,122,040 went te claimants.
Naval prize money is net se important an
item as it was in the geed old days as in
1745 when Captain Talbot captured two
Ercnch vessels which yielded 850 a man
te the common sailors, the proprietors of
the privateer throwing iu for 700,000, or
when another bold privatetcers man, Cap
tain Butler landed a 400,000 prize ; or in
17G2, when Captain Pewnall captured the
Hermioue oil" Cadiz, which netted 520,
000, the captain receiving 05,000, the
admiral and commodore dividing a simi
lar sum, and ordinary seamen having each
485 5s. 4d. " Peer Jack" hardly get his
hhare at the capture of Havana in 17G2,
when the admiral obtained nearly 123,
000 and the commodore 24,500, while
12, 000 seamen enlydivided 15,947 between
them. In 1785, it is worth adding, where
a number of East Indianmcn surrounded
a French vessel and made a prize of her
without firing a shot, the passengers and
recruits carried en the vessels claimed a
share, but the former were non-suited, the
court holding that "it was net probable
that these gentlemen who were looking
through the windows with their hair full
dressed struck any terror into the mind of
the enemy." The capture of a slave
dhow affords a small profit nowa
days. In the case of the Asmecn the
captain of the English vessel get
85 18s. and his subordinates smaller
sums down te the eight and sixpenny
share of a boy. One reason why a large
percentage of prize money is never claim
ed, apart from the possibility of the
claimant's death iu later actions, is found
in the long delays that commonly elapse
ere the money is formally awarded. Thus
in the Indian mutiny of 1857, the loot of
Banda and Kirwee amounted te an im
mense sum ; it was net begun te be divid
ed till 1868. The list of the articles looted
is decidedly interesting. At Kirwee the
jewels included 109 diamonds iu a paper:
28 diamond and pearl bracelets ; 6 large f
geici bracelets ; se geld neck chains ; l
pearl necklace 9 strings ; " numerous
ether " pearl, diamond aud ruby necklaces
17 strings of pearls; several diamond
ear-rings; 56 ornaments with precious
tenes: 18 pearl ear ornaments; aiar,
large
i 244
pearl necklaces with emeralds
pearls; 1 armlet with 66 brilliants; 1
diamond necklace with pearls 31 divis
ions ;,29 small pearl necklaces ; 4 geld nose
rings with 4 large pearls ; 2 silver-cased ;
mirrors; 1 diamond necklace in three
strings with brilliant drop and a large
emerald ; two pearl necklaces 190 pearls ;
' numerous " diamond armlets ; 2 bangles,
with 22 bells ; 1 string of 4 large pearls ;
22 diamond rings ; 1 pearl waist-belt ; 31
strings of pearls and 2 diamond bracelets
132 brilliants. Besides, there were 69,-
597 geld Venetian coins, 15,534 mehurs
and 431 sovereigns ; 250 bars and brick of
geld and geld chains and bracelets, valued
at 100,000. with rupees and pice amount
ing te 210,000, and 10,000 worth of sil
ver bullion. AtBandawere found with
many ether things diameud and geld
armlets, geld and coral necklaces, strings
of diamonds, a geld hookah bet with pre
cious stones, and geld mouthpiece, a geld
tray set with precious stones, a diamond
head-piece, an emerald necklace, a d.tgger
set with brilliants, te say nothing of 5 sil
ver umbrellas, 4 silver spears, 1 silver
trumpet, 21 silver sticks, 1 silver punkah.
17 pieces of geld lace, 110 Sewars' blue
coats, a let of watches and musical boxes,
carpets, uniforms, elephants and trappings,
the palace and grounds, bathing ghauts,
houses and gardens, ottugalews, promis
sory notes and securities amounting te
250,000, and ether items. The promis
sory notes were adjudged net te be prize
within the meaning of the proclamation.
In the Dcccan case mere than 8,000,000
were claimed, including such items as
"treasure found at Nassuck, 302.500;"
"the Pei3hwa's money, 387,358;"
"jewels and ether valuables, 298,963;"
" treasure belonging te the Rajah of Nag Nag Nag
pere, 337,500;" "jewels of the Rajah
found iu a drain, 2,500,000;" "arrears
of rent due te the Peishwa from the Nizan
4.373,000," and se en. It was some four
teen years ere these claims were adjusted.
It may be added that many thousands of
pounds of unclaimed soldiers' pay await
distribution, some men having left sums
of 150 and ever te their credit, with no
indication of the relatives' whereabouts.
These of our leaders who are interested
in the Hussar and Captain Kidd'streasuic
enterprises will find geed reading in Mr.
Preslen'3 tenth chapter "Lest at Sea."
The Luxine, a 33-guu ship, which tailed
in 1799 from Yarmouth for theTexcl, was
lest off the Dutch coast with a large
amount of treasure. She was heavily in
sured, and the underwriters paid the
claims aud then undertook salvage, recov
ering 80,000 of specie in the fiist eigh
teen months. Operations were resumed iu
1814 and contained till 1821, but the wreck
had sunk into the sand only a few pieces
of silver rewarding the searchers. In 1822
a company was formed which sank several
thousand pounds without success, and
abortive efforts were continued until 1857
when a storm cleared the wreck in part
and 25,000 worth of geld was brought
up. The Thetis was wrecked in 1830 oil
the Brazilian coast, having onboard 102,
000 in bullion ; the ships en the station
subsequently saved a geed deal of it, for
the crews were awardcd34,800 salvage and
expenses. Anether interesting chapter is
that in " Ileirs-at-Law versus Chanties."
Net the least curious charity mentioned is
that known as "Smith's Peer Kiu." In
1G27 Aldcrjnan Smith bequeathed 1.000
te be invested in laud, the income of
which was te be distributed for the relief
and ransom of captives taken by the Tin k-
is!i pirate.-;, and a similar sum te be simi
larly invested, the income in this case te
be applied te relieving the poorest of the
testator's kindred, "sick, aged and im
potent person, and such as could net
maintain their own charges." The es
tate is new worth 11,000 a year, but the
"peer kiu" have increased proportion
ately. There were four needy relatives iu
1700; in 1830 there were 100; in 1808
there were 412 ; new there are ever 700.
Among these "peer Smiths" are a gen
tleman, a wholesale grescr, a surgeon, a
music master, a retired surgeon and a ic
tircd druggist, the most indigent of
whom has 300 a year; another "peer
Smith" has an income of 440. The
charity commissioners have been directed
te frame a new scheme anil apply a por
tion of the income te general charitable
purposes, whereat the peer Smiths cry
lustily aloud, "Confiscation !"
The unclaimed dividends iu the Bank of
England amount te immense sums. Seme
900,000 of "dividends due aud net de
manded" arc entered in the books, be
sides a nearly equal sum advanced te gov
ernment. Curiously enough, the bank no
longer publishes li.sts it being claimed
that such publication promotes fraud
but confines itself te sending out circulars
te people who seem in its governors' epin
ion likely te be interested. In some cases
dividends have been accruing since 1754.
According te the lists published some forty
years age the representatives of some 30,
000 investors in the Seuth Sea company
were entitled te about 5,500,000 for un
claimed dividends and stock. There is
also some seven or eight millions sterling
in the hands of trustees iu bankruptcy,
representing unclaimed dividends. Still
mere unclaimed money is awaiting the
heirs of owners of prizes iu the state lot
teries of the last century, as appears
from an entry in the aunttal state
ment of the Bank of England.
There is a large sum of money lying
dormant in the form of unexpected
assets. Thus in 1748 one Ashley died, his
estate being settled in 1792. Seme of the
creditors had lest track of the case and
never called for their dividends, and in
1867 the courts were called ou te take some
action with regard te these sums. Simul
taneously a large sum of money unex
pectedly accrued te the estate, and a law
suit arose which was settled iu 187G by
the decision that the dividends of 1792
left unclaimed must (in the absence of any
act of Parliament concerning their dis
position) remain till some one came for
ward aud proved a title te them, while
the newly-accrued fund must be appor
tioned among all the original creditors
these whose debts carried iutcrcst being
entitled te interest from 1792 te 1876, un
less they had left their money iu court, in
which case they could have no interest en
the money se left, but must bear the conse
quences of their ewu neglect. In 18G4a sum
of nearly 150,000 was announced as hav
ing been received for the representatives of
the creditors of an insolvent of 1803 ; in J
1850,1 ull payment was made te the credi
tors of two gentlemen named Proudfeot,.
who failed in 1792 ; and new the heirs of
an insolvent of 1821 have advertised
for his creditors. In conclusion we
may give some of the most strik
ing instances of windfalls recorded by
Mr. Preston. Edward Whitmore, a private
soldier in the Ninth, fell heir te 50,000 un
expectedly ; a soldier in the Ninety-first,
while at Cerk, saw a newspaper adver
tisement for "next of kin," and answer
ing it obtained a fortune of 250,000; a
peer barber at Gloucester came into 350,
003 in like fashion; Mr. Jehn Fergusen,
of Cairnbrook, who died in 1855, left
800,000 in sums of from 1,000 te 50,-000,-teagreat
number of relatives, most
of whom were in humble circumstances ;
a Yerk cabman found himself ene of
eight inheritors te an estate of 150,000
&c., &c,

from the Old Mam's .
Erie Herald.
The circumstances were as follews: Mr.
Gallagher had te take a train that left at
six-o'clock, and se he arose before day
light te breakfast, and thought he would
put en his thick beets instead of the very
light shoes he had en ever evening. New
it seems that Gallagher's son had worn
the old man's beets while roller skating
and had left the skates en the. beets, and
in the darkness Gallagher didn t netice
this faet as he pulled the beets en, though
he thought the beets felt heavy. He then
groped his way te the head of the stairs,
the skates making no trouble ea the car
pets. Then he started te go down stairs.
He get there. He get there dreadfully sud
den. He was terribly annoyed as he picked"
himself up and said very wicked things m
he started for the dining-room. Break
fast was laid, but only a dim light
was burning. Immediately he set feet en
the polished fleer, Mr. G.'s feet flew into
the air and his head came down with ter
rible force. The wild yell that he gave
brought his wife and mother-in-law from
the kitchen. He arose te his feet, but
they immediately started off in different
directions, and after wrenching his spine
and knee joints terribly in trying te con
trol them they get away, and he jarred
his spinal column the whole length as he
wcut down. "Land of gracious ; this fleer
is oiled !" he reared as he began te make
efforts te rise. "Have you apoplexy or
have you been drinking?" asked his wife
as she strove te assist him te get up.
"Yeu held your jaw, you idiot 1" here
plied, and 'then she let go of him sort of
sudden and dewu he went, bruising him
self in six places. "Gesh," "tunket,"
"drat" and "durn" were words called
into requisition te relieve his mind that
time, and he told his mother-in-law,
who had fallen, laughing, into the chair,
that he hoped she'd meet cows every
time she wcut out. Then he essayed
te rise ence mere and get upon his1
feet. The skates began te slip, but1
he struggled like a here aud clutched the
air wildly te keep his balance. Ne nse.
As he fell forward he wildly grabbed the
table cloth, and as a result yanked the en
tire breakfast upon him. The het tea
scalded him, the pepper get into his eyes,
tlie mustard into his mouth and tue eggs
all ever him. His rries were fearful. They
hauled him from the debris and started te
put him te bed, when they discovered the
rollers. Mr. G was terribly used up,
but he started at ence te find his son, and
the lad's sighing ever his great grief was
heard si blocks away.
Deg Shew.
On January 17th a deg show will open
iu Pittsburgh, at which some of the finest
dogs in the world will be exhibited. Mr.
J. J. SncIIeubcrg, the owner of a gorgeous
kennel iu Philadelphia, will make a splen
did exhibition of his pure Laventck set
ters, headed by his well-known field trial
winner, Thunder, who took part "in the
recent field trials in this county,
lie will also exhibit May Laverack, who
took the first prize at the Great National
American field trials held at Yinccnnes,
Iudiana, last November.
There arc a large number of fine dogs of
all kinds in this city and county, and
would it net be a geed idea for some of
the owners te get up a deg show in this
city ? A great deal of interest las always
been taken iu canines here and
a hhew would be largely patronized as
owners of dogs in all parts of the county
could be induced te exhibit their animals.
It might be combined with a poultry
show for that matter, and it has been
suggested that te test pubiic interest
in deg breeding a few benches of geed
dogs be included in the coming poultry
show.
