maining three still stand unchalleng
ed. The revival of the case after the

interest in the suits unabated as lo

indictment against Col. McGraw was
quashed Friday.

SUM IN ENGL A mm
-I
In This Country Are Looking
Forward to the Time When
They Will Receive It.
An Immense fortune, amounting
with interest to over $250,400,000 is
now lying In the Bank of England,
belonging to the Hedges family in
America. Unless the lineal descend
ants of Sir Charlps Hedges, who died
in 1714, file their claims agalnBt the
estate by .January 1, 1916, the esate
will revert to the crown of England.
Such a decree was recently Issued by
King George VI and has been re
layed to the United States.
Sir Charles Hedges of the (Actors'
commons, a celebrated statesman,
and. Tory politician in his time, was
born about 1650, and graduated at
Oxford at both Magdalen Hall and
college, where he commenced M. A.,
May 21, 1'673, and L. L. D? June 26,
1675. Engaging in the profession of
civil law he soon acquired great
eminence. Upon the resignation of
Sir William Trumball, wljo was sent
as ambassador to the Ottoman court,
Sir Charles was, in 1680^ by a patent
appointed for Ufo chancellor and vi
car general of Rochester. This pro
motion was soon followed by his ac
quisition of the mastership of facul
ties, and the dignity of judge of the
high court of admiralty, of which
Sir Richard Raines was- dispossessed,
and on whose demise some years af
terward, he also became judge of
the prerogative court of Canterbury.
In 1687 he became advocate and
legal counsellor to King James II. In
his controversy with the Oxford Col
lege authorities. .
His progress in political life was
equally successful, for he received
the honor of knighthood and served
in parliament many years?for Ox
ford In Suffolk in 1608; for Malms
bury in Wilts in 1701 and 1702; for
Calne in 1702; and for two Cornish
boroughs from 1705 tQ 1713. It was
he who drew un and presented In
parliament In 1701. the famous ad
juration act, which forever set at
rest claims of the pretender, and es
tablished the succession in the Pro
festant line to the British tnrone. He |
was appointed secretary of state byl
King William III, November 5, 1700.!
In 1701. he was replaced by the earll
of Manchester. In 1702 Oueen Anne i
ascended the throne and Sir Charles
Hedges was again, May 2, 1702, ap
pointed secretary of state, for which
place he was pressed by the earl of
Nottingham, who declined to serve
In the cabinet unless Sir Charles was
re-appolnted, giving as a reason why
he should be restored, that he had
lost bis place by reason ol a con
scientious vote In the house of com
mons.
In 1706 he was appointed on the
commission, on the part of England
to settle the termB of the union of
the English and Scottish kingdoms.
He remained secretary of state until
1707, when, owing to the power of
the duke of Marlborough and the In
fluence and intrigue of tho duchess,
together with the threat of their son- .
In-law, Godolphine,. lord treasurer, to
resign, and pressure brought' to bear
-by promlnent whlgs then getting into,
power, the queen was' compelled to
provide a place'for another son-in
law of Marlborough, the dtike ot
Sunderland, and with the utmost re
luctance she appointed him secretary
of state In place of Sir Charles, with
the proviso, however, that Sir Charles
should be Judge of the prerogative
court on the death of Sir Richard
Raines.
Sir Charles Hedges died at Rich
mond. June 10, 1714. His grandson,
Joseph Hedges, emigrated to Amer
ica and settled In Maryland. Ha
died Manaquacy, Prince George
county in 1732. Joseph Hedges left
several sons apd daughters,, who set
tled In Frederick, then a part of
Prince George county and in Berk
eley and Brpoke counties, Va. The
descendants of these then moved to
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Ken
tucky, Iowa, Missouri, Louisiana anfl
other states. There Is a "Hedges
Family Association of the United
States." A well attended meeting
was held at Cincinnati, O., In May,
1881.
For more than two centuries this
huge fortune has laid in' the Bank of
England. Now after tw:o centuries'
the king of England has Issued a no
tification ordering a settlement.
The heirs have been quietly and
earnestly Investigating their claims
for more than a score of years. Lee
Hedges, of this city, says if he gets a
share he will buy a Ford car.
