BASELESS REPORTS
Millions in Chancery RECORDER’S WARNING London, January 11. "The public should know that this sort of phantom millions is entirely baseless.” said tlie Recorder at the Yarmouth Sessions, in referring to the socalled Jacques Estate, reputedly worth £30,000,000, mentioned in the trial of Ernest Rogers, a tram driver, who was found not guilty of obtaining £ll3 by means of false pretences from Harold Rant, a local grocer. The Recorder advised a verdict of not guilty, because Rant did not consider himself deceived by references to the ownership of millions. An official gave evidence that, although over £1,000,000 in the Chancery Court was unclaimed, some estates were absolutely derelict, and (here was no trace of the Jacques millions.
