SCANDALS IN THE PEERAGE.
Charges of Blackmail Made by
Lord Against a Woman.

London, Nov. ia scandal affecting
an English peer who is popular in society
and political circles will come up for n
hearing iu the Westminster police court
tomorrow. The peer is Lord Darlington,
who today obtained criminal warrant for
the arrest of a woman whom he charged
with blackmail. Lord Darlington com
plains that the threats made by the woman
and the letters he has received from her
have made his position unendurab bic and
compelled him to take the most extreme
proceedings against her.
Lord Darlington IS one of the few Liberal
peers who still remain initiate with the
Prince Df Wales. He was at one time lord
chamberlain OF the Queens household,
He and his wife, who is the eldest dapgii
fer Of L7rd Suffield, are frequent visitors

to 40 per cent of the total population.
