j John Mobbs was a Northampton-
shire coachman. In 17i7 he married
1 the daughter of his old master a rich
London distiller and thus became the
owner of a largo agricultural estate
in the then outskirts of London. Hut
Mobbs' use of the land was restricted
by certain ancient "lights" which the
! citizens of London possessed to prac-
Ul.. "fr. e nrehelv" over them. and
i there were stone "archer's marks"
! dotted over the fields when Mobbs
.became their owner
i Mobbs however granted leases Im-
' providently over tho greater part of
the estate and then mortgaged the
j whole thing to a merchant named
Stuart. The greater part of the Mobbs
j meadows thus fell Into the hands of
tho Sturts the head of whom is now
Lord Alinpton.

they were all covered with houses

London Dec. lfl (Correspondence
of tho Associated Press). Legal
wrangling which has been going on
for eighty years over "John Mobbs'
Millions" will be ended next spring
with the sale at auction here of the
Immense properties which have caused
so many heart burnings.
The auctioneer knows these prop-
erties as the "London estates of Lord
Alington" and their value is some-
where In the neighborhood of seven
million dollars. They Include factor-
ies and docks covering scores of acres
on the Regent's Canul In London to-
gether with more than 2500 houses
rented for various terms of years to
working class tenants.
Mobbs1 millions have for nearly a
century been a glittering bubble to
hundreds of "rightful heirs" who have
either turned up In quest of them or
U buv un at high prices in order to n
8 'place them witli parks and healthier
8 ! dwellings. As London increased in
8 value the value of the property went
8 up and various descendants of John
Mobbs went into tin- court carried
on lawsuits seized empty houses and
otherwise endeavored to assert their
alleged claims.
Many of tho original leases did not
expire until 1S7U and there was then
a great reopening of the legal hostili
lies. The attempts to regain the
Dronertv for the descendants of Mobba
always failed however although there
seemed to be plenty of legal technl
ealitles to justify their pleas. At one
time professional pugilists were em
nloved to garrison the empty houses.

AN EXPERT Oil COLDS
Comparatively few people realize that
a cold is a signal of physical weakness.
To treat a cold with weakening
physics alcoholic syrups or dragged

invite more serious sickness.
