LORD CHANCELLOR'S PRIVATE Roost.—Our report in
Friday's Paper of what transpired in the Chancellor's
private roJin, we are requested to state, is not correct.
We there reported that an application was made respectiug
Lady Gresley, who had been declared a lunatic. That is
not the fact, though her son (Sir Roger Gresley) is adopt.
ing legal proceedings to obtain a verdict to that effect.
The question, however, is, we hear, to undergo a public
investigation before a Jury, and that the proceedings will
be strenuously opposed by her Ladyship at every stags.
there being, in fact, no pretence for the charge of her
being a lunatic.
