H. ATKINSON, barrister of Moncton, has been for some time collecting information bearing on the claims in Nova Scotia and elsewhere to a big estate in Scotland. A Miss INNES who died in 1840 near Edinburgh, Scotland left an estate in personal proeperty worth 4,000,000 sterling with 2,000,000 worth of inheritable property. She had made the disposition in trust for the nearest kin whomsoever. It is claimed that the principal heir is one Robert INNES who came to Nova Scotia and whose descendants are now living in Amherst and River Herbert and elsewhere. Robert Innes landed at Pictou on the ship "Hector", the first immigrant ship that ever touched at that port. The Christies, Shipleys, Mills, Ripleys and Atkinsons are interested, in all 60 or 70 persons. Among other evidence obtained is a copy of the St. John 'Observer' containing the notice of Miss Innes's death. She came to her death by falling down a cellar stair, breaking her neck. She was a very miserly lady and lived alone.
