Mr.. j. A. LESLIE;
Editor CLINcH VALLEY NEWS
Dear Sir:-In your issue OF this
week there appears, together with 9TH
er statements, the following: "The
purpose Of the meeting was chiefly, To
decide whether or not a convention
should be called to decide between the
two candidates who announced them
selves for the Office Of sheriff" | wish
to say that called your attention to
that article prior to it's publication and
told you 1t was not correct. You told
me you had shown the same TO Il. 4.
Lynch and that he approved it. At
that meeting G.. w. Doak, Chairman,
&c. Mr.. Lynch being present, stated
that the committee was called To pass
on the resolutions, printed in another
column OF the same paper, and that the
other matter would probably come up,
this when asked. AS the article appear
ed 1t was untrue, or the statement Of
Chairman was false.
1 asked Mr.. Doak to correct it over
his own name and he refused to do so.
/ denounce the statement and demand
that you correct the same in unqualifi-
ed language.
r. S. GILLESPIE.
The Editor was not present at the
meeting referred to. IT seems, il we
understand the matter, that the CON-
mittee did not meet "chiehy 10 decide
as to whether or not n convention
would b e called, but TO pass certain
resolutions, which was done, and the
question OF convention or no conven.
vention come up afterwards, as the
chairman Of the meeting stated it would
probably do Our statement hat "the
purpose OF the meeting was chiefly to
decide whether or not Il convention
would be called" &C., was incorrect
It seems to have been one OF the objects
but notthe "chier' objcc', as we under
stood from our informant.

"JARNDYCE VS.. JARNDYCE"
Famous Case Before Chancery 1O4
Years May Have to Re-
opened.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
London, Jan. SIT seems highly prob
able that one of the most extra ordinary
cases in the history Of English law-sup-
posedly settled for all time two years ago
will have to be reOpened. If it is.
British nobleman who has just been en-
tertaining King Edward may have to sur
render his wealth and broad acres to folk
of humble station.
The legal contest which seems likely to
be rescuCitated is the void renowned
''Jennens case" which occupied the at
tention Of the English chancery courts for
l04 years, and on which Charles Dickens
founded the interminabe "Jarndyce VS..
Jarndyce' case In BLEAK House. The
dispute was to the next Of kin of old
William Jennens. reputed to be the richest
man Of his time, who died intestate in
1898.
To this fortune the young Earl of Howe
who is lord-in- waiting to King Edward,
and who has just been acting his ma
jesty's host. fell heir two years ago, the
chancery court in which the case had
dragged on for SO many years having de-
cided some time previously that he was
the rightful owner. The estates which
were awarded to Earl Howe included Cop
sail hall. Acton place. Aston hall, the
Penn estates in Buckinghamshirea and
town house in Curzon street, Mayfair,
London.
There were murmurings when the earl
came into his title and lands that he
might not be left in undisturbed possess
sion of them. III spite of the chancery
courts decision. and a few days ago sew
eral of his rival claimants announced that
they had just discovered certain certifi-
Gates. long given UP lost. which prove
beyond question that Earl Howe has no
right to the Jennens estates. These
claimants threaten to bring an action to
make the nobleman disgorge.
All over the United States there are
people who believe themselves interested
in the Jennens millions. and so many of
them have written to the American en-
bassy in London asking to have their
claims pushed that the officials there have
had a circular printed sta ting that the
property has been awarded to Lord Howe
and that any attempts to bring the mat
ter up again are useless. VIZ
William Jennens, the millionaire whose
death without a will in 1898 led to per
haps the longest legal struggle of which
there is any record, was the son of an
ironmaster of Birmingham. His line was
an aristocratic one. however. one of his
ancestors having been aid de camp to the
Duke of Marlborough.
