Tin FA:3torr Cuts—The great Egmont property
ease, which, on Friday last, came before Mr. Justice Keogh
and • special jury, at the Cork Assize; was, a• already
stated, concluded oo Wednesday. The case beseeched MOM
than an ordinary amount of intermit, not only because the
estates in dispute are worth about 12,0001. a year, but also
from the iscidecte onenected with them. It was an issue
directed by the Court of Chancery for the purpose of aeon,
fining "Mather a certain instrument was the last will of
Henry Earl of Egmont. It purported to devise all the
freehold and peen:nal "states, together with the right of
presentation to two livings in England, to Edward Tierney,
of Fitswilliarmitreet, feet, making him the
sole residuary legatee, after payment of some few =o-
peratively small charges. The families of the Egmotets and
Tieroeys first became aoquatoted at Brighton in the reign
of George IV. The ultimate effect of this intimacy between
them was, that Edward Tierney, who wu regarded to •
friend and couneellor of the Egmont', was appended agent
to the intake, which were very much involved. Imme-
diately after the accession of Henry Lord Percival, the tee-
tator, it became neemeary, in order to meet the embarrass-
ments of the family, to borrow mousy. This was done, and
two trust deeds executed, whereby the whole estates were
conveyed to Henry Lord Percival, Mr. Teed, and Edward
Tierney. These trustees were to pay certain sums to Lord
Emmet arid his eon • they were to bar all entail, to inroad
the property in the right of the Earl of Egmont, so as to give
him power to dispose of it ultimately to the testator,
Lord Percival. But when he succeeded to the title,
although he had property valued at 200,000 f., there we. a
debt upon it of 101,000 f., besides • further um of 13,0001.
owing to Mr. Tierney. Such being the position of hia peen-
Diary affairs he gave way to drink, and died in London some-
what midway in 1841. Three or four days before his death
Edward Tierney wee summoned to Loudon to me him, mod
it was on one of thew few days previous to his death that
the will was made. Subsequently to this the property had
been grattly improved, no less • sum than 70,0004 having
been caper dad epos it by Mr. Tierney. Owing to the pecu-
liar form of the pleadings. the question being the validity of
the will, the Re.. Sir W. L Derell appeared as plaintiff
against the Earl of Egmont (Lord Arden), whereas be was
in 'reality defendant, resisting the claim of leis opponent to
get paginate(' of the estates, which were alleged to have
been obtained by fraud and false repreeeatatios. and undue
influence. When the pleadings bad very nearly come to •
conclusion on Wednesday the cue was compromised without
being allowed to go to the jar'. Although the terms of the
compromise made have not been stated, it is generally un-
derstood that Sir Lionel Thrall sad the other plait:di& are
to receive 125,000 i. is lieu of the estates devised by the will
in dispute, and that Lord Egrnoot is to pa/ all costa. Mr.
Justice Keogh expressed him complete messfaction with the
amegemist.
