Not the least remarkable feature con-
corning the unclaimed wealth held by the
courts of chancery and others is that

missing for between one and two hundred
years. There Is, for instance. nearly
10000 waiting for persons who can

lieutenant in the navy in 1880, are being
diligently inquired for. They are all
heiresses to considerable amounts. A
sum Of money is also payable to Isabella

and Edmund Cooper who left England for
New Zealand in 1858. Is an absent legatee
Among other missing beneficiaries are
