HI READE ESTATES.
A Family Episode that Highly interests
the Author Of "a Terrible
Temptation"

The London Standard, in a recent
issue, says: A very extraordinary case
is down for trial next term. 1t is in
Its present phase a simple action for
ejectment, wherein Sir Stanhope G.
Loskyns Reade, seventh baronet of his
line, seeks to recover landed estates
in Oxon, Berks and Gloucestershire
valued in the bulk at $2OO,OOO. to,
gether with Shipton Court, the an
cient residence of his family. and a
number of h~eirlooms, such as plate.
jewelry, pictures, etc. The story is in
every respect a romance. The LAST
baronet, Sir j. G. Reade, was not only
eccentric but of dissipated habits. He
was accustomed to drink with his ser
wants, and when in his cups was ex-
tremely violent. In the year 1913 he
had in his employ a butler, named
Slnden, and a footman, one joseph
Wakefield, a native of Leeds. 1t was
announced one summer night that the
butler, a maj under forty, was dead,
and also Immediately afterward he
was buried, no less than forty nails
being driven into his coffin. A fort
night later it was limited abroad that
the poor maj had met with foul play.
and had, in fact, been done to death
by his master, the baronet. Upon
this the body was exhumed,
and the coroner's jury returned an
open verdict, the chief witness being
Joseph Wakefield, who deposed that
the nan fell down in a state of in
ebriety and died from the consequent
ces of the fall. Shortly after this
occurrence the baronet severed him
self from all society, including his son,
who died during his lifetime, and his
daughter, an epileptic patient, and
until his death in 1868 lived in abso-
lutte seclusiOn, his only associate being
the aforementioned Joseph Wakefield.
After his death his will was proved.
wherein he ~bequeathed all his posses
sions to Joseph Wakefield, who has
since assumed the name of Reade. and
has during the past ten years received
a considerable sum in rents, the man
sion itself bringing in $500 a wear
The present barOnet, who is the great
nephew Of his predecessor in the title.
has already proved his claim to tie
%baronetcy by a suit in chancery, and
now seeks to recover the estates Thich
formerly appertained to his family.
Sir G. Reade is a relative of Mr..
Reade, the celebrated novelist and
dramatist.

a credit to our river commerce, the
commercial interests of Memphis and
the bends, which have long felt the
need of a line of regular packets
accommodate them and do their
business at a uniform rate. There
will be two first-class sidewheel steam
ers in the line for the present, and an
other will be added in a few weeks,
making a tri-weekly line between this
point and Vicksburg, which will prove
very advantageous to our commerce,
and Major Adams should be encour-
aged in his great enterprise by a lib
eral patronage from our merchants and
the bends people. In order to carry
out his determination of giving the
Memphis and Vicksburg trade the
benefit of a frst-class line Of steamers,
he has contracted for the building of
two elegant new sidewhoel steamers
for the trade. For the present the
Red Wing will leave here on Friday
and the 0uachita Belle on Tuesday.
