A London cable says: Notwithstanding repeated warnings that have been sent out from time to time by the United States Legation here and by the press of America concerning the fraudulent character of s0- called Eoglish estate agenta in Amerioa, reoent ree show the namber of dupes is increasing Daring the past few weeks more letters than ever before have been ‘received from America, inquiring after imaginary estates of fabulous sums awaiting the writers in the Bank of Eog- fand. In the case of many estates, such as the Jennings-Lawrence, Townley, or Chase- Townley, Hyde-Herne, Bradford- Hedges and others, -epeoial circnlars have had. to be printed to answer the namerous appli- eants. The frandulent agents insert advertisements in newspapers regarding estates and oollect fees for pre- soe gna eto, from the parties are persuaded that they are heirs. The dupes often pay money to these agents several successive years. During Mr. Lincoln's term as Minister here nearly all the letters have come from small country Texas, —“— Towa and the Var West seem to lly ace peregeha Amorg the letters resentty reosived at th Legation are communications from Sale: ants to some thirty-five estates. Ol all the claims investigated by the English solicitors, not one has been found to have any validity. In any oase the Legation here is powerless to help claimants or even investigate these onses. A statute of limi- tation fixes a period within which un- claimed estates revert to the Crown, and riod is twenty years. The limit within which action oan be brought for the recovery of real property is twelve years. There are no large sums of money awaiting claimants in the Bank of England. There are very few amounte of £1,000 and none exceeding that eum by more than £100 or £200. The amcunt of money in Chancery belonging to unknown heirs is altogether less than £1,000,000.
