UNCLAIMED MONEY.

AUSTRALIAN HAIRS WANTED.

The public at large lias uo conception of the great number of people in Australia and New Zealand entitled to monies and property, of which they have no knowledge. Many of these emigrated to Australia in the early days and lost touch with tbeir relatives at Home, or who may have emigrated to other parts of the world, and who subsequently died leaving money and property unclaimed. The large number of advertisements which appear annually in Australian, New Zealand and British and 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 relereuce to large sums awaiting the lawful owners, and are mainly inserted by trustees, executors, solicitors, and pursuant to orders of the Court of Chancery. Lloyd’s Next of Kin Agency has prepared the following summary of the most important of these which have appeared during the current year.
