Claims ef the Heirs of Anneke Jans—Action Againet the Trinity Corporation Likely to be Taken by Them—Nature of the Preceedings which will Probably be Instituted. ‘The origin of the claim of the heirs of Anneke Jans, ‘whose name islegton, is no doubt famitiar to the older Portton of the community in connection with the numer- ous occasions on which their pretensions to legal owner: ship of the property of Trinity corporation, which is gene- Tally estimated to be worth $65,000,000 have eome before the courts, These heirs clatm to be the descendants of Anneke Jana, who married Domine Bogardus, when the Dutch Lold Manhatian Island. Anneke Jana was sald to belong to the royal family, and was given by the King of Holland a tract of laud on the west side of the city, ex- tending from Warren strect to Chrietophor, At that Pertod it was of but little value, being for the most part marshy, low ground, and but fow of the easy- going Hollanders of Manhattan ever dreamed that the tract of land thus situated would evor be sasessed at any such figure, or that the noble structures which now adorn that locality would ever be reared by thelr descen- dants, When tho English government gained porses- ston of Now York, it is nsserted that the title of the heirs of Anncke Jans was confirmed, and that Trinity obtained, at a subsequent period, a*lease of the land, Under this latter posession, without a legal title, they al- lege the property to bave been held. As the lands in- ‘oreared in valae, oforts wore made by the helrs at Attfor- ent periods to obtain porsession, all of which were onsne- ceesful, In support of their claims, it ie stated that tho representatives of Trinity have upon several occasions need their influence with the State Laulsiature to get ‘that body to jnvest thom with @ legal title, and that members of the Logis'ature, believing that Trinity had no title, have made afforts to secure the corpormtion right of the property to the Stete, But Trinity has always defeated this project by their great influence, Something like a year ago some of the heirs took oc- caston to eall upon a committee of Trinity in relation to open'ng a suit to establish thets clame, ‘The: ta tives of the Trinity corporation, it waa reported, stated to the heirs at that tine that they were willing to compro- mise tho matter by paying & sum of money, some- where between $20,000 and $50,000, rather than enter into any fresh Litigation with them, the question of ht to the ownership of the property having been ono the greatest expenditure and (rouble to the trustees for the past fifty years. On tho strength of thie state- ment several parties, compriving the hetrs -of this im: mense estate, rosidents of Brooklyn, got together and consulted as to thelr mode of aciion, when they doter- mined upon instituting leval proceedings. They immo- diately conferred with several eminent beg Soa el among them Mr. Michael J. Dunoe, of yn, whom they engaged to collect an¢prepare all the necos- sary inforraation and to commence a suit, As soon as their counsel had gathered a number of the beira, aboat two hundred tn all, and gained a considerable amount of evidence, he formally apprised the ‘lle ton or trnstecs of Trinity of the matter by letter, aud though he received no answer direct them, he was given to understand that the subject had been referred to a committee. Subsequently the services of Mr, Brown, of Philadelphia, a dia- tinguished member of the bar, who for pearly twenty has paid great attention 10 tho maiter, were With their united energies they pra m! additional evidence, through the ald of no leas ix hundred descendants of Anneke Jans, whom the ze found desirous and determined to proseonte ir claims. gn the counsel pressed thetr enit with the churchmen it they refused to hold any imiercourre whatover with mm on that subject, Several means of procedure wero thon devised for future action against Tyinity, among which may be hamed the tollowing:—In the first place it waa intended, in order to ertabliah the holrship, to take a9 a test care and prosecute the claims of some ono of the many claimants, who conid beat prove Mneal and genealogical descent. ‘This wan coneiderod as a good point to establish tn conrt, for the reavon that similar suits, previously entertained, have gone of on such technical points of pedigree and eevonlogy. If necessary, they declare that they are now ready to estabtich fully sneh title to their lineal descent, Another movement is on foot, which will, it is hoped by the heirs, eventually crown their jast eforis with suc- cess, it is to elect certain members who are now m the field as candidates for the State Assembly. These men, apert from the fret that they ore interested as heirs, are supposed to be pledged to the tnterest of the clalinanta, and Will urgo measures to seoure the possernion of the property to the State, whence, it i bolteved, their right will ta time be acknowledged, and their claims validated under the enabling act. They further rely on the symna- be which they hope to create among the people, and the of the independent press of New York. Still another mode of action which bas been lered i# to contract with the trustees of Trinity for the purchase of a plece of property, and when calied upon to Pay the purchase money to refuse, on the round that the chareh cannot maintain soy act against thom, they being the legal heirs thereto, Mr. Astor has a his perty leased from the ehureb, ane xtraordinary amount therefor he saw fit to examine into the claims of the alleged beire, which was satiafac- tory to bim. ‘They state that the corporation of Trinity ts not will- ing to allow a doubtful question of right to defeat them ; but a minority of the trustees of the church think it highly anjast to deny @ legal right The case wtil prob. iv come up ere long in the shape of an t, whieh will be taken ont by the heirs in order to detect the validity of the title to the property. ‘Two or three mootings of the heirs have recently been held in Brook- Typ, and another will take place on Monday evening for the purpose ‘etermining farther on t course of aetion, Thus stands the matter at present.
