CHILD
 LOSES FAMOUS
 ENGLISH ESTATE

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S. The British Court of Appeals has decided that the alleged child of Charles R. Slingsby and his American wife, Dor othy slIngsby. whom California courts and the London probate court had held to be the rightful successor to an es- tate in Yorkshire. England, valued at $500 .OOO. is inegitimate. The decision is on an appeal .of case brought by brothers of Charles R. Slingsby to test the right of Teddy Slingsby the child. Co the estate, and its effect Is to give the estate to the brothers.
 Teddy Slingsby was born In San Francisco, and it was charged by the brothers of Charles R. Slingsby that he was the child of Lillian Anderson. a San Francisco girl. and not the child of Mrs. Slingsby.
 A California court said that the child was the legitimate heir and court in England upheld that decision. An appeal was taken and was argued in January and February of this year. The decision was rendered last week.
 The hearing on the appeal of the Slingsby brothers against the iudg- ment declaring Teddy slingsby to be the legitimate heir laster seventeen days. and three appeal court judg- es who have allowed the appeal had the matter under consideration for five weeks. In delivering the judg- ment. the master of the rolls said 1t was impossible to over.rate import ance of the advertisement said to have been written by Mrs. Siingsby and inserted in a San Francisco newspa- per within a few days of the time Q child was born to her. The adver- tisement called for a newborn male infant
 Wanted To Adopt Child
 Furthermore. the master said, it was impossible to doubt that Mrs Slingsby called at the Associated Char tiles in San Francisco and made ap- plication to adopt O child.
 The master was unable 70 make himself believe that a woman expect ing to give birth to a child would take such course, which, he said, was re- pungnant to all one knew of the ma ternal extinct. He held there should be declaration that the child was not the legitimate heir.
 Judge Warrington. concurring in the opinion of the master said he re- gretted 1t was impossible for him to take Mrs. Slingsby's word without corroboratlon. He declared she was condemned as o woman who had lied upon one of the most important mat ters of the advertisement and had supported her lie with perjury. He expressed 1t as his opinion that the boy was the child of Lillian Anderson.
