By Daily Mail Reporter and Mia De Graaf PUBLISHED: 07:33 EST, 29 November 2013 | UPDATED: 09:33 EST, 29 November 2013 A cousin of Samantha Cameron has arrived in court to sue his family for 25 years of income from their Hampshire estate. Old Etonion, John Sheffield, 50, second cousin of the prime minister's wife, claims he has not received any money from his late grandfather's 1,000-acre property despite being granted a 25 per cent stake in 1983. Now, five years after the death of his grandfather, son of the sixth baronet of Normanby, the Old Etonion is suing his father Julian for a quarter of a century's worth of rent, farm yields and shooting rights fees.
