ANCIENT PHRASE A MISNOMER
Money In Chancery" Not What the
Name Implies. EnaIish Saw.

Most people have heard the phrasa
money III chancery.' but it is more
than doubtful whether many people
KNOW what the money is or how it
came into %chancery or how it gets out
IN most cases after the lapse Of many
years, says the London Answers.
As q matter Of fact, the phrase mon
ely IN chancery'' is Il misnomer. for
there Is no o q court of chancery
as Il separate organization. If was
Killed by act of parliament. the iudica-
thre act dong the deed. There is Il
~chancery division of the high court of
justice, and the money commonly call
ed money in chancery is simply stand
ing in the books of the supreme court
pay Office.
How did the money get there?
Imagine a typical ease. A man lies
IN 1890. He leaves property to trus-
tees in trust for his -four children.
One of these children goes abroad and
settles out there. Some dispute arises
between the other children and the
trustees. The matter comes before the
court. and the trustees are ordered to
pay the shares into court. They do
this. and in time the three children
are able to draw II their shares, but
the one abroad never claims his, and
unless he or his descendants claim the
money it will lie there still.
There is nothing more improbable
thar the pursuit Of money in chancery.
Dozens Of people have wasted their
means and their lives at the game Of
hunting unclaimed. funds. One in a
hundred may get something in the end.
The other ninety-nine find themselves
baked and disappointed.
Som people run away with the idea
that because they happen to bear the
same name as one of the people men,
toned in the list of unclaimed funds
in the books of the supreme court
therefore they stand "A good chance Of
getting something. That is not so,
and even people with uncommon
names, although they see a similar
name in the list, often do not stand a
ghost of a chance. The court will re-
Quire very strict proof and very strong
evidence indeed before it will order
money to be paid out to a claimant,
and hearsay evidence is not acceptable.
