[PEB PRESS ASSOCIATION.] CHRISTCHURCH, November 26. Luck has taken a favourable change for Duncan MacLennan, of Christchurch, who up till a short time ago was a relief worker, but who, on Monday, will leave for England, to receive his share of the estate of £102,000 left by his uncle, a Manchester publisher. A cable message from London, on October 22,' stated that' seven crofters, of Ross Shire, and three immigrants to New Zealand, would share in a fortune of £102.000, left by a Manchester publisher, Kenneth MacLennan, who died intestate in July. To Duncan MacLennan came a letter from a firm of solicitors, advising him that he was entitled to a share in the estate. MacLennan is coming back to Christchurch, and has made plans to return early in the New Year. He is married, and has been in New Zealand for thirteen years. To-day, MacLennan could not be induced to speak of the change in his fortune that has taken place in the papti. few months. “i prefer to wait until I return,” he said. “Then I’ll have a story to tell you. Just now I am not independent, and I have only I the vaguest, details. When I get the 1 money, I think I will hide it, for I’ve I lost one fortune already.”
