January 20. th,
For a number of years the country
at • large has heard more ,or less of
the .celebrated ^ Lawrence-Toivnley
estate, of England, and the struggles
of the heirs in this country to get
pOssession of the estate which is
theirs by right.
Mr. Jasiel Lawrence, of Rome N.
Y., is one of the lineal descendants
of Mrs. Mary Townley, through whom
the estate is derived. Indeed, Mr.
Lawrence is the oldest living heir,
and has taken the task on his own
L. ELR.IiREE
shoulders, principally, of working
up and proving the claim. The es
tate is situated in Manchester, En
gland, consists of 3G square miles in
the wealthy portion of the mother
country. and the retains have
amounted to .V2:4.000,000 sterling
There are now fourteen heirs, all res
IT t, lIS
idents of America, and the most o
them in New York and adjoining
States. For years prominent inem
hers of the Lawrence family in var
ous parts of the country have ex
pended large amounts in attempting
to prove themselves the lawful heirs
of this enormous estate, but they fail

lapses to the State, for -the reason
that the original, holderp of these
stocks, or their legal representatives,
cannot he found. We, often hear o
such instances of th'e re4very of
great estates in Enghind, as - those o.
the Delaney, Dusenbury, Northage,
Leake and other families whose suc
cess is of recent date.. -The estate to
which attention has been called by .
the item referred to is known as the
Lawrence-Townley estate, an estate
which. has been in the custody of the
English Government for 100 years,
and has accumulitted to enorthous
proportions.
It is dot strange, that the attention
of the Lawrences and the Townleys'
in America should he awakened to
intense, interest, or that the general
public should be eager to second this
fatnilvlnterest, when it is - understood
that this estate is now estimated at
$5(10.1)0o,Oi)0. real and persOnal.
Filly years ago the'Lawrences of
Boston and vicinity were thoroughly
aroused to the study of their family
history, and to combined effort to
bring this estate, in its enormous
dimensions, to 'this country, and a
formidable effort was made in 'the
English courts: of chancery, ..which
efforts, as will be remembered by
many of our citizens still living,
failed; through inability to establish
the fiiet of descent according to En
glish lbw. Their suit was defiled, as
it was found, in the kriging& of the
decree, case No. 24,300; "That the
said claimants are not the lawful and
lineal descendants of John Lawrence
and his wife Mary ; that they are not
in the -line of descent." The Hon.
Abbott Lawrence and Daniel Web
ster (the latter in the interest of the,
Chase Tamily in its early connection
with the same estate), have had to
do with the inquiries instituted.
Many and more recent movements
have been noticed .by Hie press in
different section's of the country,, as
for example the large gathering of
the Townleys in America at Eliza
beth, N. J.. held Septe'mber 21,180,
at which time a commission was sent
to England, which resulted like the
Lawrenees Mentioned - above; and
the gathering -of the possible heirs at
Middletown, N.. 'Y., October 1i 77,
Official fidvereplentfil occ*Mtiltr
appear in the New York Herald and
New York Times, calling for the
heirs of the estate. • We are indebted
to a gentleman conversant with the
history of this estate and the move
meats made for its recovery for the
following outline of its proininent
features : " The family of Lawrence
is traced plausibly to a Robert Law
rence, who settled in Ladcashire and
was knighted..in 1191 for valorous
deeds at the siege of Acre," yet more
positively to a Sir Robert Lawrence,
of Ashton Hall, whose 'marriage to
Anne Trofford in 1298 is a matierpf
public record ; and the records of
Ashton Hall for a period of 400
years bringS us to a son of the house
named John, who married Mary
Townley of Townley Hall. The de-
scendants of this pair are the heirs
officially called for so frequently by
the English authorities. Ashton Hall
is situated 6 miles west of Manchester;
is entitled to one member of Parlia
ment, and is remarkable, among other
features, fora large church of thetime
Henry the Fifth,•' and the Lawrence
family is thus prominent in English
history. But the enormous posses
sions of the Lawrence• Townley fami
ly are derived from the wife. Mary
Townley. was the oldest daughter of
Sir Richard Townley and Mary Wid-
drington, of Widdrington, Northum
berland County; of notoriety from
his connection with the hero of Che-
wy Chase ; of whom, was sung
My heart Is %rot. tot IFl,l,lrlngton,
As one in doleful-dumps;
For when his legs were smitten off,
•
Ile fought upon his stumps.
The Widdrington estates included
many mining properties in
‘ Durham
county, near to Newcastle-upOn-Tyne.
These, of very great value, were con
veyed by will to his daughter, and
by - marriage settlement secured to
her separate right, and were accord
ingly willed to her two; daughters,
Mary and Dorothy. The former
married, against her father's consent.,
John Lawrence, who was a -Protes
tant, and socially inferior, diiubtless,
as he elected to follow the seas. The
couple eloped and were married in
the English kirk at the Hague. in
Holland. As Mary Townley Law
rence was about to become a mother
she made application to be received
at •I\iwnley Hall, but 'Sir Richard
refused to receive her, and she re
turned to 'the ship.Highilyer Which
had brought her from Holland, and
of which her husbandlvas the second
officer;: and on board this ship were
born twin sons. The ship put into
the port upon the solway, which was
nearest to Corby Castle, where her
sister Dorothy, who had married
Henry Howard (Lord Effingham),
resided, and there, at the church of
the parish, Witheral, to which Corby
Castle belonged, the twins were bap
tised by the names of - John and
Jonathan. The formet died in in
fancy. JoOthan, together with a
sister Mary:subsequently born at the
Hague, emigrated with-their parents
to Ameriofil in the autumn of 1714,
and the fainqly were virtually lost to
their Engi,ish relatives, being in con
structive disgrace from the powerful
effect of the .anger of Sir Richard
Townley, l a Townley Hall, whose
high social position and great wealth
added force to his displeasure thro' 7
out - the eiree of his kindred. These
emigrants, John.and Mary Lawrence,
with their son and daughter Mary,
were with difficulty followed in their
wanderings after their • arrival in
America, for the reason, chiefly, that
the father and son followed the seas
and the females would have only such
temporary abodes on shore as might
' suit the coasting expeditious of fa
ther and son -,Jonathan. The son,
however, eventually found . a home
at the future age of 43 in a town
not, far from Boston, and his marriage
is.recorded to have taken' place No
vember •13, 1738. He became con
spicuous as an officer Commissioned
by Governor Shirley in the, French
and Indian war, and was rewarded,
with others, by his Majesty, King
George Third„ by a grant of five hun
dred acres of land in Nova Scotia.
Upon this grant he settled, and there
di e d in .
.1.71;9. The I4mily history
has been traced from him with suffi
cient authenticity, it is_supposed, to
justify the institutionlof legal pro
' ceedings, and these have quite recent
ly been commenced. In 1743, or five
years after the marriage of Jonathan
Lawrence, there culminated several
large estates into onethe one now
called the Lawreneeqownley estate.
TIIE GENEALOGY.
The following is given as the true
line of genealogy : Mary Townley
was the daughter of Richard Town
ley, Esq., Manchester, England, and
was married in Hague, in Holland,
to John Lawrence (the ancestor of
.Jasiel Lawrence. of Rome, New York
State),, who emigrated to this coun
try in 1714. John , Lawrence and
Mary Townley. had only one son,
Jonathan, who was the greatgrand
father of the present heirs-at-law.
This .Jonathan Lawrence . married
Hannah Robbins, of Walpole,.Mass.,
in 1738, by whom he had two sons,
Jonathan, Jr., and William. Jona.
than was the . eldest son and next heir
to the estatqaccording to the laws
of England.. married
Rachel
He was born in Wal
pole. Mass. ; in 1739.. He
Rachel Smith. of Easton, Mass., in
1763. This fact is proved by the
town records of Easton and• other
official documents in possession of
the heirs Jonathan Lawrence, jr.,
had two sons, Lebbeus-and Jasiel, sr.
He died in England -in 1516. Leh•
bens was born in. Nova Scotia in
17165, and died in Lansingburg,
Y., in 1818, leaving two sons, John
A and Wm. TN Lawrence. John A.
Lawrence was born Dec. 29, 1803,
and died in Troy, N. Y., June 'lO,.
1557, leaving only one son, Norman
.1. Lawrence, who died in 1562 with
out issue. Wm. T. Lawrence, being
the next oldest and only surviving
son of Lebbeus, was born Sept. 10,
1512. .Jasiel Lawrence, sr., only
brother of Lebbeus, was, born in Eas
ton, Mass., in 1772; and died in Dun
hamville, Onedia conty, N. Y., in
1543, leaving - Jasiel`'; Lawrence, jr.,
who was born Sept. 30, 180, and is
the only surviving son. Thus it ap ,
pears that Jasiel Lawrence, of Rome,
is the oldest male heir' to largo es-

King of England, in the fourteenth
century fot his military valor.
._THE PROSPECTS.
"The records and genealogy of the
family hive been searched out and
examined by Mr. Lawrence with'
great care and perseverance. He has
been engaged ; in the" work for about
ten years. Having been to England
three times, he has searched ceme-:,
tcries, clerks' offices, church records,
and all otherimaginable places where
he .would be- likely to gain informs
tion,regarding the family. Six years
ago, after nearly completing all his
papers, they were stolen from him,
and he was compelled to go all over
the ground again. In his labors for
the past few years he has been assist.
ed by Col. James F. Jacques, of
Washington. Col. Jacques is u man
of sound judgment and good address.
To his other qualities is added the
fact that he is an excellent detective,
having been employed as. a Union
spy during the war, and a member
of the United States Secret Service.
Col. Jacqiies is very sanguine of suc
cess in this matter, and thinks that
the estate will be in the possession of
the beirsin,a short time. After vis
iting England once before this year,
lie has now returned to his task in
London, July I'2 1879. Feeling con
fident that • it will be the last trip in
this long and tedious case, - and also
thinks. the end is nigh when, they
shall reap the reward due their per
severance and complete success, and
the . recoVery of the whole estate,
which our process show behing to
American heirs, and a cause which
is just and true in law and equity,
the best, barristers in , the British
empire having pronounced the case
complete in all its proofs.
The LaWrence-Townley estate went
into Court of Chancery in England
in 1818,and remained with that court
until,lB2J before it was 'decided that
there ways no lawful- claimants of it
in England. Numerous efroits made
by different Lawrence people to prove
their claims appear to have been in
vain, as the Court of Chancery of
England as late as 18(15, ordered by
the House of Commons, decided that
the Lawrence-Townley estate remains
unsettled, and is yet subject to a
claimant; and there is marked on
Chancerybooks, heirs gone to Ainer,
ica. The court also passed the fol
lowing decree: That the estate be
longs to the - heirs of Mary Townley,
whO married a Lawrence and Settled
in America ; her descendants are the
legal heirs to the estate."
This is the decision of the English
Court of Chancery, which decides on
all unclaimed estates. After the de
cision of the court the estate is held
in trust: for the true heirs'of 'the En
glish Government, which collects the
revenue. On the occasion of his late
visit to Englind he received assnr
;limes- to the effect that he and thir
teen associated with him are the only
heirs - to the estate, and that the prop
erty would be delivered over to him
shortly. Manchester, where the
property lies, , is a laige_ manufactur
ing town, and the land is covered
with many millA. Many men of high
ability, have paid much attention to
this subect, and 'are of the opinion
that the fourteen heirs are the true
and .only heirs to this magnificent
estate, and they have. sufficient faith
in It to advance money to assist Mr.
Lawrence in pressing his claim. One
thing is certain-: there is a Lawrence-
Townley estate in England, which is
worth .many million pounds.. It is
quite apparent that Jasiel Lawrence
and the other heirs have proved their
claims. It only remains for them tot
get what is rightfully theirs, It is
to be hoped they ,may be successful.
The following extract is from the
ClaikenWell News (London) of Feb.
" DrAxn or Cw.. TowNLEr.—We
have to announce the death of Col.
.John Townley of Townley hall,
Lancashire, who died unexpectedly
at half-past eight last evening, at his
residence on Carlton Ilouse 7 terrace.

ABSTRACT OF A LETTER RECEIVED FROM
COL JACQI'ES.
A letter has been received from •
Col. Jacques,dated London, October
s, 1879, stating that he had just re
turned to London from a tour of in
spection of the estate, .known as
Townley. Hall, Howard estate, \Vi'd
drington estate, and fOund over thirty
thousand acres of improved lands,
and, city and village property, there
fore yielding all a large revenue
That the three estates above named
are lying in the counties of Cumber
land.. Durham, and La6cashire. That
no claimant or owner has been on
either of them during the knowledge
of the oldest inhabitants living near
them. And that the best barristers
and legal advisers there advise him
to enter and take possession of these
estates at once, which can be done
by the authority of Magna Charta.
Once in possession of theeie lands,
which includes the rentals, money,
plate and jewels-Will "follow-as a mat
ter of course. There is no one to
oppose us now, and any appear on
the scene hereafter, they must eject
us. To do this they mast produce a
better claim than' we have, which no
man on earth can do. This is fully
"determined ; they mean to move on
to victory certain. They mean to
make no mistake. He also ; states
that the Chancery Docket being Clear
the first of .January, A. D.1_879, it
will be again clear on the first of
January. A. D. 1880; our case includ

So they got down on their hands and

The Brakeman at Church.
On the road once more, with Leb
anon fading away in the distance, the
fat passenger drumming idly on the
window pane, the cross passenger
sound asleep and the tall, thin pas
senger reading " Gem Grant's Tour
Around the 'World." and wondering
why "Green's August Flower"
should be printed "above the doors of
"A Buddhist' temple at Benares."
To me comes the brakeman, and seat
ing himself on the arm of the seat,
says :
" I went to church yesterday."
• " Yes ?" I said, with that interest
ed inflection that asks for more.
" And what church did you attend?"
" Which do you guess ?" he asked.
"Some union mission church ?" I
hazarded.
"Now " he said, " . 1 don't like to
run on these branch roads very much.
I don't often cr and o to church, an when
I do, I -want to run on the main line,
where your run is regular and you go
on schedule time, and
.don't have to
wait on Connections. I don't like to
run on a branch. Good enough, but
don't like it."
. "Episcopal ?" I guessed.
"Limited express," he said, "all
palace cars, and two dollars extra for
a seat, fast time,' and only stop at the
,big stations. Nice line, but too ex
haustive fOr a brakeman. All train
men in uniform, conductor's punch
and lantern 'silver-plated, and no
train boys allowed. Then the Neal
sengers are allowed to talk back to
the'conductOr, and it, makes them to
free and easy. No, I couldn't stand
the palace cars. Rich road, though.
Don't often hear of a receiver being
appointed for that line. Some mighty
nice people travel on it, too."
" Universalist ?" I suggested.
" Broad gunge," said the brake
man; "doeS too much complimentary
business. Everybody travels on a
pass. ; Conductor doesn't get a fare
once in fifty miles. Stops at all flag
stations, and won't run into anything
bat a union depot. No smoking-car
on the train. Train orders are rather
vague, though, and the train men
don't get along well with the pa4sen
gers. No , I don't go the Universal
ist, though I know some awfully good
men who run on that road."
" Presbyterian ?" I askisd.
" 'Narrow gunge, eh ?" said the 1
brakeman, "pretty .

tain rather than go around it ;

leKel 'grade; passengers have to show
their ticket' before they get on the

ears are a little narrow; have to sit
one in a seat and no room in- the
aisle to dance. Then there is no stop
over tickets allowed ; got to go right
straight through to the station you're
ticketed for or you can't get on at all.
When the car's full'nci extra coaches:

But you don't often hear of an acci

" May=be }.on" joined the yree-
Tkinkers?" 1 said. •
"Scrub road,l' said the brakeman,
dirt road-bed and no ballast, no
time-card and 'no train dispatcher.
All trains run wild, 'and every en
gineer makes his own time, just as he
pleases. Smoke if you Want to;
kind of a go-as-you please road. Too
many.side tracks, and every switch

'switchman sound asleep and the
target-lamp dead out. Get on as you
.please and off when you want.. to.
Don't have to show your tickets, and
the conductor Isn't expected to do
anything but amuse the passengers.
No, sir,
I was offered. a pass, but I
don't like the line. I don't like to
travel on a road that has no terminus.
Do you snow. sir, I asked a division
superintendent where that road run
to, and he said he' hoped to die it he
knew. I asked him if the general
superintendent could tell me, and lie
said he didn't believe they had a gen
eral superintendent, and if they had,
he didn't know anything more about
the road than the passengers. % I ask
ed' him who lie reported to, and he
said, 'Nobody.' I asked a conductor
who he got his orders .from, and he
said he didn't take orders from any
living man or dead ghost.' And when
I asked the engineer who he got his
orders from. he said,' he'd like to see
anybody give him orders; he'd run
that train to suit himself, or he'd run
her' in the ditch.' Now you see, sir,
I'm a railroad man, and I don't care
to run on a road that has no time, or
makes no connections, runs nowhere,
and.has no superintendent- It may
be all right, but I've railroaded too
long to understand
" Maybe you went to the Congrega
tional church ?" I said.
" Popular Road," said the brake
man, "an -old road, too; one of the
very oldest in thiS country. Good
road bed and comfortable cars. Well
managed road, too; directors don't
interfere with division superintend
ents and train orders. Road's mighty
popular, but it's pretty independent,
too. Yes, didn't one of the divison
superintendents down East discon

But it's a mighty pleasant road to

Snow Two Hundred' Feet Deep
The following remarkable account,
from the LOndort Times, Of enormous
snow falls in North Wester - India,.
shows what a world of vapor is car
ried inland on the monsoons from the
Ind / ian ocean. to strike against the
loftiest mountain chain in the world,
and be precipitated in such snoS-s
and rains •as occur on the middle
slopes and foot-hills of the Himalayas.
About the sources of some of the.
great rivers of India occur the heat:-
lest rains ever known; and further
east., in Cashmere, it seems the snows
are sometimes terrific. ' The Lond,on
Times says:
Some interesting details of this ex
traordinary snow! all.in Cashmere in
1877-75 are given in a paper in the
just-issued number of, the Journal of
the Asiatic Society of Bengal, by,
Mr. Lydekker. Early in the month
of ,October. 1877, snow commenced
to fall' in the valley and mountains of
Cashmere, and from that time. up to.
Mail- 1575, there seemed to havp been
an ;almost incessant snow-fall in the
higher mountains and valleys ; ht
deed,-in places it snowed-withoutdn
termission for upward of ten days at
a time. At !This, which has an eleva
tion of 10,000 feet, Mr. Lydekker'
estimated the snow-fall, from the na
tive account as having been from
thirty to forty feet thick. The effects
of this enormous snow-fall were to.be
seen throughout the. country. At
Dras, the well-built trdvelleCs bunga
low, which has 'stood some thirty
years, tvas entirely crushed flown by
the weight of snow which Nlupon it.
In almost every .villnev of--11 6 neigh-•
boring.mountains more or le 53 of the
ifer houses had fallenovhil at Gul
marg, and Sonomarg, where no at
tempt was made to remove the snow,
almost all the huts of the European
visitors were utterly broken down by
it. In the higner mountains whole
hillsides have_been denuded of vege
tation and soil by the enormous ava
lanches which swept down them,
leaving vast gaps in the primeval
forests, and closing the valleys hetes
'Fifth the debris of rocks and trees.
As an instance of the amount of
snow which must have fallen in the
hbrher levels, Mr. 'Lydekker mentions'
the Zogi pass, leading from Cash
mere to Vras, which has an elevation
of 11,300 feet. He crossed this early
in August last year, and then found
that the whole of the ravine leading
up to the pass from the Cashmere
side was still filled with snow, which
he estimated in places ' to be at least
150 feet thick. In ordinary seasons•
this road in the Zogi pass is clear
from snow some time ,during the
month of June. As another instance
of the great snow-fall Mr., Lydekker
takes the valley leading frout:the
town of Dras up to the pass separa
ting that place from the valley of the
Kishengunga river. About the mid
dle of August almost the - whole of
the first-mentioned valley. at an ele
vation of 12,00 u feet, was completely
chocked with snow, which in places
was at least 200 feet fleep. In the
district all passes over 13;000 feet
were still deep in snow at the same
season of the year. Mr. Lydekker
gives 'other instances of snow lying .
in places ,in Septeniber where no
snow had ever before been observed
after June. As to the destruction of
,animal life in the Upper Wards - an
volley lavre numbers of ibex were
seen imbedded in snow ;!in one place
upward of GO heads were counted,
and in another not less than 100.
The most convincing proofs, how
i ever, of the - havoe caused among the
wlid animals by the great snow-fall
'is the tact that scarcely any 'ibex
were seen during last summer in
those portions of the Wardwan and
Tilail vane) s,' which, are ordinarily
considered as sure finds. So. also,
the red bear and - the marmot were
far less numerous than usual: Mr.
Lyildekker estimates that the ik
struction, to :animal life 'caused - by
snow has far exceeded any slaughter
which could-be inflicted by sports

stamp, Which is ready for ancither.
