THE JENNINGS ESTATE, AGAIN.

To the Editors of the National IntelIgencer:
An article in recent number Of your paper and many
other kindred communications the subject Of the Jen-
nngs estate which have appeared the newspapers from
time to me have induced to solicit your kindness to
publish in your paper this short article To one who has
been observant of passing events this subject and
who possesses knowledge of the genealogy of
the Jennings family and other circumstances connected
with the subject the design OF these articles is obvious
Their design for the part is to deceive and misead
the unwary and unsuspoctng heirs to this immense
tate to discourage them, and them to abandon
withdraw their pecuniary aid from any enterprise to OBJ
tain their rights Some of these anonymous writer's have
pretended that this estate has long since been dstrbu
ted and that it is not in abeyance say it be-
longs to some certain family and others say it has been
decided that some other individuals inherit it, and
Now 1t is fact that no decision has been had in
the case and consequently the estate has been
inherited by awarded to any individual set Of in
divduas One notice purports that family of Corbns
will obtain the estate, the inesatc wiled his estate
to his wife, who Corbn, and she left no children
and another purports that Mr. Corbin married Miss
Jennings. Now, in relation the first of these state
ments, the ntestate, William Jennings never had wife,
and in relation to the second it is not probable that the
descendants Of this Miss Jennings would inherit the
the exclusion of all otLers when it is well
that said William jennings who died leaving this i'm
mense estate made will. The facts in these anony
nous notices being at fault their conclusions aud
L would advise all who concerned in the premises
that the ostensby friendly warnings Of most of these
anonymous writers should be but little regarded espe
cay when they tend to advance the interests of those
who are known to have paid 100000 TO solicitor to
the dismissal of suit brought for the recovery
of this propery and when it is further known that the
money thus paid went into the pocket of the idyer and
not the client who instituted the suit
All newspapers friendly to the Of justice and op-
posed to imposition respectfully and earnestly
