UNEXPECTED WEALTH.

[TO THE EDITOR OF THE " SPECTATOR."]

Sin,—I have heard it said by a friend of the late Albert Way, the well-known archeologist, that he came by a fortune in this wise. Crossing Pall Mall, he cannoned against an old gentle- man, and discomfited him. After mutual apologies and the interchange of civilities, cards were exchanged, and on each card was imprinted "Mr. Albert Way." The older gentleman dying, had no natural heir, and left his fortune to the other St. Stephen's, Sutton, Surrey, January 8th.
