We understand that the Gentleman, who lately
relitiqiieed to Lord BYRON the purchase of his
Lordship's patrimonial seat; is become the purchaser
of a distiogoishell residence and extensive estates in
Wales. It is erroneously stated, that the purchase
from Lord B was made by monies vested in trust.
It thoold be stated, in justice to the honourable
and humane feelings of her Royal Highness the
Princess of WALEs, that previous to her quitting
England for the Continent, she made an arrange-
ment that all those domestics of her Royal Highness's
household, who, on that. occasion. might be dis-
charged, should each receive one year's wages, and
board. wages until they should procure another situa-
tion ; and to those faithful domestics who had been
some years in her service, her Royal Highness has
granted annuities for their lives.
