| AN interesting and romantic claim to an ancient
Scotch barony has just been put forward by Mr..
John Fraser, of Mount Pleasant, C.ernarvon. His
that he is descended from the elder brother of
that Lord Lovat who beheaded for his share in
the instruction in favor of the young pretender in
| 1745. This elder brother, after killing fiddler at
ball fed from the hands of justice into Wales, where
he worked as a miner for the sake of conceallnent
and married working woman. From him Mr.. Fraser
claims direct descent If this be proved he is of
course heir to the Scotch title and the estates Of
Loyat A complication, however, arises, for the
present Lord Lovats father obtained removal of the
attaner and restored to the Scotch peerage and
estates Before that he had been created Lord Lovat
in the peerage of the United Kingdom. If the
claimant succeeds he will have the Scotch title and
tates while the dispossessed nobleman will remain
Lord Lovat of the United Kingdom but will have no
estates
