REJECTION OF CLAIM.
PROPERTY SAVED TO THE
NATION.
LONDON, March 21.
Mr. Justice Eve, after declining to disturb owners' titles dating back 80 years, refused an application by a claimant to the Page estates, covering nearly half of Middlesex, for the appointment of a"receiver and manager.
[Mr." W. H. Morris, of Katoomba (N.S.W.), is the latest claimant to the Page estates, the capital valuei of which is believed to turn the hundred millions and may even reach £150,000,000. The great pomtab'out the.estates is that they are in Chancery and that for want of a claim held to be good they have come to be regarded as the property of the nation. The possibilities of the reversion ot this great accumulated value'to private ownership were regarded with some foreboding.]
