Mrs. Lightbourne, the survivor of the remakkeble Glouces tershire Coheiresses, who sometime since became possessed of Sandy Hill Park and Mansion, In that county, died last week at Cheltenham. These ladies had suoteeded to this inheritance in a manner extraordinary as it was eventful. Tnis extensive property, exceeding 7000/. per annum, together with nearly 101,000/. in the funds, had long beencontended for in Chancery by various claimants, tho then supposed neer:r of kin to that breach of the Tracy family, who were the last in legal possession, until a respectable Solicitor in Gloucestershire discovered that the right of inheritance awes equitably vested in the two sisters, then humble inhabitants of the town of Cheltenham. Impart ing to them his opinion, he is said to have undertaken to pro secute a suit in favour of their claim at his own expense, on condition of a stipulated remuneration if it proved successful. The issue confirmed his judgment, by putting the two sisters into an Indisputattle possession of this floe property, far which report states him to have been liberally rewarded by a dona tion of 20,0001. One of these co-heiresses did not lo .g enjoy her good fortune, and her moiety in consequence devolved on Mrs. Lightbourne, who has also recently paid the debt of na ture. Whether the estate is entailed, or what bequests may hove been made from it, has not yet been declared, further titan that Mrs. Lightbourne has humanely left some hundred pounds in trust as annuities for the future maintenance of more than thirty cats, from whose domestic society s:ie is said to have derived her principal delight, and whose provision was therefore regulated by the state of affection in which they were classed.
