A Fabulous Fortune.

In a humble house in Natoma street, San Francisco, in circumstances far from easy, lives John Poultney, heir to something like $400,000,600, and incidentally owner of a seat in-the upper house of the British Parliament. At least, that is the story he tells. With almost indisputable evidence in his possession to substantiate it, he has had very’ little trouble in securing the asjjst&ncc of several well-known lawyers. There are now Interested In the case J. A. Hale. ex-District Attorney of Santa Cruz; Judge Walter 11. Levy, W. 11. H. Hart and Joseph P. Kelly. These gentlemen think so well of the proofs submitted by Mr. Poultney that at a jnceting held yesterday at the office of Kelly. to England to seeutc the one link in the chain of evidence"connecting * Jieif client with the hundreds of millions left by Sir William Poultney, prominent in the social and political history of England. This gentleman was, during his time, a bai rister of great note,-and at one time Lord of the ’"Exchequer." "In 1885 he died intestate, leaving an estate wortlTnrany millions. The San Francisco claimant has filed with his attorneys a clear statement of his relationship to the dead Sir William Poultney, and a general summary of the property owned by Trim. The attorneys-who have taken up the cause of the San Francisco claimant are positive of their jiltiraatriy securing the estate for their client. There is one mi.sslnglinl;,"ancrTr~is to picfr~tMs up, if possible, that Mr. Kelly will make the trip to England. They say that this is not absolutely necessary to the success of the cause, though without it the .present trustee' would not yield the $400,000,000 without a long legal struggle.—Philadelphia Item.
