TIE NICHOLSON ESTATE.

The n. Y. Post furnishes some facts relative 10
tho Nicholson Estate which are interesting. John
Nicholson was tie partner OF Robert Morris Of
Revolutionary memory. The debts due by his ca
tate are said to amoult twelve millions Of dollars
lie was Comptroller General OF the State o.
nnsylvsnis, from i7sS TO 1906, and in some way
used the pubic funds to carry on his speeulatons
or the extent OF his landed possessions, some con
eep,un may be formed from the fact, that his bro
Their, Samuel Nieholson, after very laeoricus IN
vestisatiOn. reported to the Government in lsO6
that the lands, TO which he had indspu,ab,e tile
covered one seren,h oi the surface Of the State
In letter to on intimate friend, he mentioned a
transfer in q single operation of between one and
two million acres, in Georgia.
About the year I795 he became seriously emb,r-
rassed and died in the year 1900. he was debt
or to the Commonwealth, and tho State had lien
on all his lands. Many of these have been clear
ed OF all membranes by eompiomisr, but the lien
still remains on more than million OF acres, rem
dering, as a committee Of the Legislature say, utss
doubtful and uncertain, retarding tho improvement
al the Commonwealth, and keeping all concerned
IN endless suspense"
To adjust the conflicting claims Of landho'ders,
heirs creditors, and the Commons ealIh, the Legs
lature Of Pennsylvania, few years since instituted
q special court, called the Nicholson Court, with
plenary power in the premises. And the people OF
Erie county, in that State, have been not little
astonished by Of order from that Court, which, II
carried into effect, will cause nearly the whole
county TO pass under the auetonees's hammer N
about 1--WE weeks time! tappsars TO have been
the 6sst ntimation they had, that their lands were
embraced in the claim.
Great, also, was the surprise and alarm in the
county of Beaver, when n handful was eeeived
from Piitsburg, containing lists Of land 10 be sold
at Pittsburg, on the 2!th o, October, by order Of
the Nicholson Court On examining 1t, there were
found embraced in it two or three hundred tracts Of
four hundred acres each, altogether exceeding one
hundred thousand acteS, OF the hest land IN The
county, aud embracing nearly fourth par; Of Us
terrific ial limits. This Advertisement to SELL is II

ever had a claim 10 single trac, Of land in the
county-,he aany hundreds. nay, almost thousands
of persons now 10 possession, no; dteamns Of inse-
