UNCLAIMED MONEY.

NEXT OF KIN AND HEIRS WANTED. TO TBS KDITOB. Sift, —Very large sums of money are annually expended in advertising for "missing heirs at law, next of kin, and others in order that news of a "windfall" may be brought home to them. In a great number of cases these advertisements, though many times repeated, fail to reach the beneficiaries sought for, as they may have died before the legacy or fund accrued, and their next of kin or descendants havo become scattered in different parts of the world. As next of kin, unclaimed money and property' matters are more or less interesting, I venture to send you a summary of the most important of the advertisements which have appeared in Australia, New Zealand, and British newspapers during the current year in the hope that some of your readers may come in for some unexpected assets.
