A THIRrY.SIx MILLION HEIREss.-The Southern
papers mentioned, some time since, rumor that the
wife Of the Rev. Samuel Clawson, of Virginia. had
fallen heir to an immense fortune in England. The
Western (Vh.) Herald says the facts of the case are
as follows: There was originally the sum Of thirty
six millions Of dollars In the estate of the Earl OF
Lancaster, in England and upon the death Of the
Earl and his brother dispute arose between the
house of York and the house Of Lancaster, (inst-
tued by the former because of an intermarriage be-
tween the two houses) the house of York suing for
the heirshiP. The suit was protracted, from the
lower to the higher courts, from fifty TO hundred
years. and was finally decided at the Exchequer (the
Queens Bench in favor Of the house of Lancaster
After this decision, advertisements were scattered
abroad over the world for the heirs Of the Lancaster
estate; and the mother Of Mrs Clawson, wife of Rev.
Samuel Cawson, is one of the heirs. Attorneys are
employed by the heirs TO secure their interests. and
1t Is supposed that the whole affair will be settled up
during this winter, when the heirs will receive their
portions. The above sum Of thirtysx millions has
been at interest for more than sixty years, which
interest viii pay the cost Of law, and leave the orgi,
Ial clear.
