THERE has been great deal OF gossip re-
Gently in England about the will of the late
Sir John DuntZe, the whole of whose large
fortune goes away from the family. The fact
is that Sir Johns mother Miss Carew, of
TwertOn Castle) was the sister Of his fathers
first wife, so that when he came of age in 1850
he was technically illegitimate; and when he
assumed the title and took possession of the
estates after his fathers death, which took
place just when he came of age, some of his
relatives threatened to dispute his rights, and
he never fOrgaye this proceeding, the fruit of
which is to be found after fifty years in his
will. In 1925 the late Duke of Beaufort, whose
only son (the present Duke was the offspring
of d similar marriage, fearing that his next
brother, Lord Granville Somerset, might
claim the titles and estates, induced Lord
Lyndnurst to get passed the act on the sub
ject which made all such marriages legal
which had taken place prior to Aug. 81. 1885;
and, of course, this legislation also placed Sir
John Duntze in position of security.
