AN HEIR TO MILLIONS
Au ok la nd, Yes ler day
Mr. F. Sinclair is an Auckland claimant to a share of the Jennings’ millions in Chancery referred to in Tuesday’s cable. He is a Scot, who married at Wellington in 1917, Elizabeth Jennings, a direct descendant.
After marriage Sinclair took up residence at Hawera and later established a farm at East Tainaki. His wife died in Auckland Hospital three years ago. The cable referred to was as follows: Mrs. Douglas Jennings, of North Sydney, lias received cabled advice to the effect that she is included among the 45 claimants who have established the title of £53,000,000 in Chancery under the estate of William Jennings. Win. Jennings possessed extensive factory sites in Birmingham in addition to big holdings in the East India Company. The proving of this claim ends a lawsuit made immortal by Charles Dickens as the world-fa-mous case of Jarndyce v. Jarndyce in the author’s Bleak House. Other Australian beneficiaries are living at West Wyalong and Melbourne.
