COURT APPEARANCE
Claimant To New Zealand
Fortune
London,* December 14.
William Alfred Roland Seddon, of Coventry, who had expectations' of sharing in a fortune left by an uncle in New Zealand, was arrested and was charged at Wigan to-day with being in arrears in the payment of maintenance, for which his wife is claiming £1027. He was remanded. The police intimated that a charge of bigamy is pending. It was reported last week that a scrap of newspaper might be the means of Seddon inheriting a fortune. Seddon, who was working at a motor factory, was having his lunch when a companion, reading from a paper in which it was wrapped, said: “Bill, has this anything to do with you?” The paper contained an advertisement asking Alfred Roland Seddon to communicate with a firm of London solicitors, from whom he learned that his uncle in New Zealand, Isaac Richard Seddon, had left £20,000.
