STIR IN PROBATE COURT
Proceedings Stopped and a
Dowager Duchess Summoned.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST HER

In the Duke of sutherIand's Contest to
Overthrow the VIII Made BY His
Father, His Counsel Claims the Duchess
Buraed an Important Document to Save
n Big Estate.
LONDON, April 15.-A sensational state
ment was made to-day in the probate
court in the hearing before the president
Sir Francis Henry Jeune, of the cele-
brated Sutherland will contest instituted
by the present Duke Of Sutherland to
overthrow the will made by his father,
the late Duke of Sutherland, in favor of
the dowager duchess, the second wife of
the late duke.
The late Duke of Sutherland, married
for his second wife, March 4th, 1889,
Mary Caroline, the widow of Arthur
Kindersley Blair The duke was at the
time about sixty one years of age.
The marriage led to bitter disputes
between the late duke and his second
wife on the one hand, and the present
duke, then Marquis of Stafford, on the
other hand, and the late duke was
greatly aggrieved by the hostile attitude
of the marquis.
The late duke died on September %.
last, having made will as favorable as
possible to his second wife. A dispute
at once began between the new duke
and the dowager duchess concerning the
possession of one of the ducal seats,
Tittensor Chase, near Trentham. and
also concerning certain valuable family
heirlooms.
The present duke contested his fathers
will, and in court to day counsel in be-
half of the present duke asked that a
writ of attachment be issued against the
dowager duchess on the ground that,
having obtained an order to inspect GER
tain papers, she had deliberately placed
in the fire document which, under the
orders he was permitted to inspect.
Justice Jeune said that the charge was
a serious one. The justice at once
stopped the order of inspection and said
that the dowager duchess must make
answer to the allegation on Tuesday.
The case was thereupon continued to
that date.
