THE CASE OF THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE.—At the
Judges' Chambers, on Monday, an application was
suade to Master Pollock, in the feigned issue, " Hope
v. Beyfus," to amend the record by introducing the
name of the Duke of Newcastle as one of the trustees of
the property claimed by Mrs. Hope, at Carlton•house-
terrace. I'he application was made by Mrs. Hope's
solicitors. Master Pollock said that as the case had
been before the judge he declined to hear it. Sub-
sequently the parties waited on Mr. Baron
Pigott at Chambers, and the attorney for Messrs.
Beyfus, the execution creditors, objected to the applica-
tion. On the other side it was stated that the Duke was
one of the trustees. Mr. Baron Pigott endorsed the sum-
mons "No order," without prejudice to an application to
Mr. Baron Martin, who had settled the terms of the
issues directed to be tried.

Seymour, who was horn, lived, and died in France. He gave
all his personal estate, not otherwise diSposed of, to "lee
hospices de Paris et de Londres," a gift which has occa-
sioned great litigation in this country. There were nearly
180 applicants for it, of which eighty-four were selected,
and the fund awaiting distribution among the claimants
amounts to £46,000, Which will be much increased as the
life interests created by the will fall in. The Masttr of
the Rolls directed £l,lOO to be remitted to Frauee, and,
after providing -fOr the costa of the suit, directed the
residue of the ftind to be divided among the claimants in
equal proportions. There, was a reversionary interest in a

between them.
