LEFT A FORTUNE
A LUCKY COUSIN CHRISTCHURCH RESIDENT INHERITS SUM OF - £100,000 (Press Assn. — By Telegraph — Copyright). London, October 16. Mr. Andrew Gibson, a Liverpool shipowner, left an estate valued at £699,913 including a bequest of approximately £100,000 to his cousin, Mr. John Anderson, of Christchurch, New Zealand. When the cable message was referred to Mr. Anderson to-night, he said that by the last English mail, he had received a letter from his cousin's lawyers informing him that he was a beneficiary under his cousin's will and that he would share in the residue of the estate. The letter from the lawyers also stated that Mr. Anderson's share on the realisation of the estate, would amount to a sum considerably less than that stated in the cablegram. Mr. Anderson, who is 83 years of age, was one of the survivors of the band of "Canterbury Pilgrims" who arrived by the first four ships to bring colonists to Canterbury. He arrived by the vessel, George Seymour, with his parents in 1850. For many years he was the head of the well-known engineering firm of Andersons Ltd. which his father originally developed.
