SEIZED HOUSE

COMEDY.

CLAIMANT TO FIGHT WITH

CROWBAR.

AN INJUNCTION.

London, Mar. 28. Surprise followed surprise at Brixton yesterday, where Mr. Wil- liam Adrian Allery, the 84-year- old claimant to the £60,000,000 Angell Estate in South Landon, further entrenched himself at 180, Brixton-road, the old house which he scized in such dramatic clr- cumstances on Monday.

Armed with a crowbar, he de- clared that he will "hold out," but meanwhile the law has been set in melon.

High Court writs to obtain, pos- acaulon were issued at the instance of the Ecclesiastical Commission- ers during the morning. On two Occasions men unsuccessfully atp. templed to serve these writs on Mr. Allery and Mr. Bowes, his the "chief-of-stuff." Later afternoon, however, a young wo- man called at "No. 180," and while Mr. Allery was courteously re- moving his bowler hat to welcome her, she handed him a writ. She also served one on Mr. Bowes.

Warning Notice.

The upshot of this was that Mr. Justice Russell granted an injunc- tion restraining the two men from soliciting or interfering with the tenants on the estate.

Earlier in the day the house- breakers were ordered to take the roof off Mr. Allery's "G.H.O" as a first step towards demolition. When Mr. Bowes heard of this ho immediately sent for his "chief" who was said to be resting in the country...

Just before lunch Mr. Allery. returned and, arming himself with a crowbar, announced from the front door steps his intention of fighting to the bitter end,

Excitement ran, high when 'a large notice to the tenants was put up in the garden of the house on behalf of the Ecclesiastical Commisioners. This read:

Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England,

Brixton Estate: A Warning to Tenants.

The claim of Mr. Allery to any part of the Ecclesiastical Com- missioners' Brixton estate is sim- ply foolishness. Do not be misled to pay or give your rents to him or to Mr. Bowes, or to anyone on his behalf. It will be money thrown away, as you must tinue to pay your rents to the Commissionera' agents, Messrs. Clutton, 195, Brixton-rond.

con-

Mr. Allery will not attempt to take proceedings against any of you. If he should be so foolish the Commissioners will defend you in any such proceedings.- (Signed) SLE. Downing, Secretary of the Ecclesiastical Commission, No. 3, Millbank, SW.

This notice was in answer to a poster pasted up on a wall of the house by Mr. Allery announcing that tenants on the estate who paid their rent to him, would.re- ceive a rebate of 25 per cent,

Things reached their climax late In the afternoon when Mr. Allery of the More down the notice Ecclesiastical Commissioners and stamped on it with considerable ceremony. Ile then retired into the house with his crowbar, and barricaded himself.in.

"My men and I will hold out," the shouted to a Morning Post representative through the win- duw.

Mr. Allery left the house soon after 7 last night, and at a late hour had not returned.

Rivals in the Field.

Mr. Allery. does not appear to be alone in his clalm to the es- late, for several other claimants appeared on the scene during the day One was an elderly woman, who refused to be interviewed, and another was an elderly grey-hair- ed man who said that his name was John Angell. He claimed to be a direct descendant on the male side of "the original John Angell, landlord of the estate."

"My grandfather, John Angell," he said, "fought at Waterloo under Wellington," and he produced a Waterloo medal.

Another rival was Charles Stockwell, who declared that he was a descendant of "the original Charles C. Stockwell of the tate,"
