telling of the judges decision and it was blazoned on the front page of the Brantford Expositor to-night with a heading nearly as big as that announcing the defeat of Meighen's government by one vote. First thing this fore noon a big car drove in the lane & a young man came over to where Dad was raking and held a long interview with him. Finally Dad. called me over and introduced him as Mr. Pearce of the Simcoe Reformer. He said a press despatch had come through from Toronto this morning and he wanted all the details he could get. Dad. was loath to say much but when he found the papers had got as much as they had he thought it was no use trying to keep any of it quiet. Pearce had not been gone long when Mr. McKinnes the Presbyterian minister drove in & said that a friend of his on the Hamilton Herald had called him up and asked him to come over and get an interview with Dad. About five o'clock Mr. Barwell drove over. He was half dead with a bad headache but he said he couldn't resist coming over to congratulate Dad. & showed him the Brantford Expositor which had under big headlines the following despatch to-gether with a note from their Dover correspondent probably F.H. Stringer. "London. July 2 - Justice Romer, in the Chancery Division has given judgment in the summons issued by the trustees of the will of "Quinty" Dick, who died in 1858 leaving property in Ireland and elsewhere said to be worth more than $2,500,000. A claimant to the estate was found in William Henry Barrett a farmer of Port Dover, Ont. The question was whether his claim was barred by a clause of the will, which stated that the person entitled to the estate should adopt the surname of Dick, and that if he refused or neglected to do so within a specified period, then the estate would go to the next person entitled. The judge said that the person who became entitled was entirely ignorant of the will, and, therefore, could not have "refused or neglected" to comply with the condition". It is not much wonder the old town is agog with that being passed around. A Globe reporter called Dad. up to-night but he wouldn't go to to talk to him so Frank went. I drove home here about three o'clock to get Marj. as she wanted to go down and have a foot specialist who is at Coley's show store pass judgement on her
