THE JENNINGS ESTATE.-A writer in the " Y
Journal of Commerce estimates the value Of this
estate at g., ,000,0O0. A number OF the Jennings
claimants reside in Virginia, and have held meet.
ings to consider their interests. Speaking of the
great original Jennings" he says:
VIM. Jenning, by whom the estate was left died
in London in 1898, aged 81 years. He had been
page to George the lst and during the long period
OF his life, remained bachelor, more given to pc
nuriousness than hospitality. He was the last
annuitant of the Exchequer Tontine of 500
share, for which he received $4,000 year for
many years past. He had property in almost eve
ry fund, and such was the immense wealth, that
the dividends ON most of his stocks have not been
received since 1885, the interest on his mort
cages for q long time.
In his iron chest the key of which could not be
found till after long search,-hid in a mortgage
eed,-there we're bank notes of the year 1873 to
the amount ELS, 900. and several thousand new
guineas. About 100000 were found in money
and bank notes at his town and county houses,
and also key to the chest containing his mothers
plate and valuables, which is deposited at Childs
the bankers, and has never been opened since his
decease. He is reported to have always kept ESQ.,.
00O in his bankers hands for any sudden emergen
cy, and had not drawn draft on the Bank for the
last fourteen years.
