UNCLAIMED MONEY.

AUSTRALIAN HEIRS WANTED. TO CLAIM MONEY AND PROPERTY DURING 1911. TO THE EDITOB. Sih, —The public at large have no conception of the great number of people in Australia and New Zealand entitled to moneys and property, of which they have no knowledge. Many of these emigrated to Australia in the early days, and lost touch with their relatives at Home, or who may have emigrated to other parts of the world, and who subsequently died, leaving money and property unclaimed. The largo number of advertisements which appear annually [ in Australian, . New' Zealand, and British a.nd American newspapers asking for information in regard to missing people, supposed to be resident in Australia or New Zealand, who will hear of something to their advantage on communicating with a given address named, often have reference to large sums awaiting the lawful owners, and are mainly inserted by trustees, executors, solicitors, and pursuant to orders of the Court of Chancery. It has occurred to me that a summary of the most important of these which have appeared during the current year may be of benefit, and of more than passing interest, to your readers. All the persons named in the following list, or their descendants or legal personal representatives, are supposed to be resident in Austrlaia or New Zealand, and in some instances they will be peremptorily excluded from all benefits unless their claim is put in within a stated time named in the advertisement: —■ Adam, Robert, formerly of Airdrie, late of Sydney; Adlard, Robert Evan, left Dorking for Australia ; Ahrbecker, Heinrioh Conrad Van De Poel (children of or next of kin); Anderson, Elizabeth, Mary, and Ellen, daughters of John; Ansel, Hyman; Annfield, James (coach-driver), last heard of at Adelong, N.S.W.; Ash, William John, late of Bendigo (next of kin of); Baker, Francis, late of Indian Civil Service, to claim £500; Barret, John, native of Castle Acre, left England for Australia 18B7; Beattie, John Wilson ; Bell, Robert (marine engineer); Beveridge, Thomas; Blackie, Jane and Robsrt; Blight, George, last heard of at Woolowie, S.A.; Bradshaw, Mrs, nee Todd or Tord, re property in France; Breehin, James, formerly of Queensland; Brown, George, son of Joseph, of Edinburgh; Brown, Herbert, son of Peter; Browne, William Moore (miner); Brown, Kenny, formerly of Dublin; Brown, Esther, wife of James, of Birmingham, who emigrated to Australia about 1865, or her representatives; Brome, Rev.
