LONDON, April 1s.-The Dowager
Duchess Of Sutherland was to-day COM
mitted to Holloway prison under SEN
tence of Imprisonment for six weeks, inn
posed by Sir Francis Jeune, president OF
! the court of probate for contempt OF court
Notwithstanding that the Imprisonment Of
a British Duchess in q common Jail is prob
ably unprecedented in England, the affair
did not excite any great surprise among
the public, and il had Deen anticipated that
the court would take severe action in view
OF the fragrant contempt with which the
| Duchess was charged. The name OF the
Dowager Ducess is Mary Caroline, and she
was a widow at the time OF her marriage
to the late Duke OF Sutherland.
When the case came up to-day an affida-
| Wit was presented on behalf OF the Duchess
saying that the document she had burned
was q private letter from her late husband {;
that she had not thought il any harm 20 de-
stroy document Of that character. and
she closed BY Offering an apology 70 the
court Sir Francis Jeune commented Ia
the severest manner on the action OF which
the Duchess had been guilty, saying
that it was evident the destruction OF the
document had been deliberately planned
and that IL was effected oy violence and de-
ceit.
The Justice then sentenced her 70 i'm
prisonment for six weeks, the Duchess 10
nav fine Of ESQ. The dOwager Duchess
was awaiting the disposition Of the case IN
the barristers' consulting room. There
was a great scene when her friends CON-
municated the sentence 70 her. The dow
ager Duchess and the friends around shed
tears and exhibited great Indignation TIE
solicitors Of the dOwager Duchess had
been prepared for the result, aud IN expec-
tstion Of the decision that was delivered

dowager Duchess hurried into the carriage
and. accompanied by her solicitors, drove
