The JENNINGS ESTATE We take the fol.
lowing from the Virginia Seniinel:
"lt IS now pretty well ascertained fact
that the much talked of Jennings estate Is
not recoverable by any one Of the name Of
Jennings. Old Mr.. Jennings married Miss
Corbin; and having no children, he bequeath-
ed all his properly to his wife 10 fee. Mrs
Jennings died some few years since intestate,
and consequently this immense estate Of
f40.oOo,0O0, or S20G COG, 900, passes over to
/ her relatives. The Grown Of Great Britain
has advertised that the money is in readiness,
that the heirs are in the United States Of
America, aud request that they come forward
and claim the same.
"Tho Corbins, of Virginia are the rigbtful
heirs of the Jennings estate, and through
them the Balls, of Fairfax, Va; the Jones, Of
Washington, D. c., and the Gordons, Of
Alexandria. Va, they having descended in
direct line from the Corbins"
| The CoRBINs and BALLS and JONES have
been long while in making themselves
heard, and we guess they are rather too late,
since our Nc. HEcroR JENNINGS has late as
surance from his London and New York
Attorneys that his claim is entierely valid.
