A large Claim

Some years ago the PRESS published q long
account of the claim OF one of the Skillings
heirs to large quantity of property, embrac-
ing the Old City Hall, and the land on which
1t stands, and the land lying on Centre street
and the square reaching to the Free street
heater. This property, it was claimed, was
owned by John Skilliugs originally and be
leased it for ninety-nine years to Enoch Ilsley.
Ilsley, it is argued, gave quit-claims of the
property to many people and they in turn,
gave warranty deeds to the parties from whom
the present owners obtained the land.
Yesterday, Mr.. VIM. M. Sargent, attorney
Tor the Skillings heirs, served notice on the
City CLERK that at the end of six years-the
time when the ninety-nine years expire--he
shall bring suit for the property now claimed
By the city, on which the Old City Hall stands
and which the Soldiers and Sailors Association
