to the British nation of the royal family

having SO many sources of income be-
yond their regular allowances. Each

Duchy of Lancaster actually belong
ing to the public as crow lands), and
yielding in 1872 the sum of 94O, 900
over and above all expenses. The
Prince of Wales has an income of e4O,-
900, with an additional fl0,000 a year
to his wife out of the civil list, and the
Duchy of Cornwall brought him an ad-
ditional f65,574 clear of expenses
