COLSTOUN. THE CHASE ESTATES. - A Glance at the Other Sidc. Axx "Aunog, Mich,, March 11, 1873, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: . . Sim: . LouG crics of immonso estates in Eng- land waiting to bo claimed by some happy family on this sido of the great waters, aro now coming up all over onr fairland. So for as tho Olages aro concorned, they can urge no valid objootions if no worso result followa.than being- tho rocipionts of numorous congratulatious, both from their old and many new frionds. Woro this all, no discouraging word would ba said; but, whon asscssments of 35 oach: nro called for, or largo credits givon or asked, with tho oxpoctation of renlizing anything from theso’ fancy estates, would it not bo prudent to wait pationtly beforo parting with ready monoy, or increasing largo liabilitios ? % In 1840, o similar. excitemont relative to the groat Townloy, or, ag it is now called, Ohaso ostato, oxisted. Mootings wero called, and ngents 2ent to England to investigate, They roturnod, and reportod no such cstate. The newspapors thon donominated the whola nffair as “a wild- gooso chase,” The samo articlos published thon, favoring tho bellof in tho existenco of” thoso es- tates, have juat boen republished by a committeo, of tho Chaso heirs, 'who mab last October in Boston. ¥ " .. In about tho Xenr 1895, & now crop of Cheses may be expectod to roproduco the smart snyings of tho present gonoration, and Al the newspapers with thrilling noticos of the “‘recont” decreo of the High Court'of Chancory in their favor. ' ‘The writor has most cortainly no objections to having this large sum of monoy (8260,000,000) distributed among tho Ohases 'lu this: country, for o is juatly ontitlod to one share; but, Lav~ ing inquired into the matter with very uusatia- factory results, he dooms it to be his duty to nd- viso hs poor and noedy rolations (by. blood or | ‘marriago), who live by dint of their daily labor, not to part with their hard earnings to aid tho ‘¢ Chngo Fund” 1n any way whataver, for the Committeo are most certeinly mistakon in their ‘mission. My roasons for enying so are briofly summod .| up a8 follows : First—T1 wroto to two of said Committoe, sop- aratoly, sevoral weeks ago, roquesting them to oxplnin, if thoy could, how it was possible for tho threo Ohase brothers, who'came to this country in 1629, to bo nephows of Col. Francis Townley (thoir own mothor’s brother), who was exccuted in tho year 1746, or just 116'years after. thoy loft homo; and no roply comas yat, All accounts substantinlly agroo nsto these dates. Thoy indicato that thoso Chaso brothers raust have been noarly 100 yoars older than their mothor,—a thing too absurd for an ordinary dream, ‘and much more to preach to any peoplo ‘with open ug:s, uxpacting{ thom to beliovo it. Second—The Lnglieh Chancery Reports, pub- lishod in this country, show no suoch decision ag |- has boen ropregonted. iy Third—Tho Committeo wero mrfimflted to pro- cure and publish an suthenticated copy of snid alleged decreo, nearly two months since; and'no such notice has appearod yot, Fourth—In tho year 1869, Columbus Smith, of Balisbury, Vt., who said he had then beon sue- cosafully engagod for twonty-fivo years in the prosecution of claims in Europa for the recovery of proporties abrond, wroto to mo, undor dato of April 11, a8 follows : Dean 8in: Yours of tho Gth inst, fareceived.
