AN HEIR FOUND.
WORKING AS ROADMAN. Auckland, April 19. Some time ago a Whangarei lawyer read an advertisement in an Auckland paper in which an English firm of solicitors asked for information about a certain man. The lawyer recalled that a couple of years previously he gave two days’ work to a man of the same name, but did not know where he had gone afterwards. During a motor tour of Northland recently the lawyer and his wife recognised the man breaking stones on the road. An inquiry elicted the fact that the English advertisers were his family’s solicitors in Manchester. He had left there forty years ago owing to a disagreement and had not communicated with them since, The lawyer thereupon was instructed to take up the matter on behalf of the roadman, who is a member of a well-known English family. As the result he will be able to live on a vastly different scale from past years.
