She told a Press Fepresentative that, as she had not yet been able to lodge a preliminary sum of £70 against costs, the House of Lord hall extended the time given to he in which to find 'the money. ¥ "If I can raise the money, in all about £1,500, I shall go to te House of "Lords," she said. "I have been working on this bs matter of six years. i "It was only two years ago tha my sister and I found in the regis- ters of St. Martin-in-the-Fields a marriage entry proving that Marie L'Epine had been married in Lon- don, and that her daughter and our ancestor, Abigail Eccles, was legitimate." George III presented the 'money to Lord Howe in recognition of his services abroad, with the stipula- tion' that in the event of heirs bf the L'Epine family being discavey- ed he would hand back the prop- ert; The' estate was valued in 1792 at 245 ,000;, and 'at compound interst of 2} per cent. would now amount to many millions. | As it was believed 'that Marie | L"Bgine had no legal heirs, the for- tune, instead of going to a daugh« ter, became escheat to the Crown.
