Crown over $4,000 which had been
escheated in 1871, says the London
Tribune. In that year man named
Bernard Reilly died in Drogheda, and
there being no known next -of-kin, the
estate passed into Chancery. An eff
fort was made in 1882 by Mrs. Mar
saret Craw!ey to prove her claim to
the amount. which was invested in
Consols, but without success. Re-
Gently it was discovered that Mrs.
Crawley's aunt was alive at the date
Of Reilly's death, and was actually the
next-of-kin. This aunt died intestate
and without issue. which consequently
makes Mrs. Crawley's fortune.
