BOND THE WARWICK ESTATES.
Earl and Countess Turn Their Prop
erty Into Stock Company.

The fashion recently set by Lord
Montagu Of Beaulieu, and his heir,
when they turned themselves with
their assets and liabilities into a joint
stock company, is now being initiated
by the Earl and Countess of Warwick.
The alleged reason for the previous
operation was a desire to avoid the
death duties. In the case of the War
wick estates it is evidently some
thing of a more pressing nature that
has to be provided for, seeing that
the debentures now offered for public
subscription are payable, as to three
fifths on the death of the earl, and as
to the remaining two-f1fths on the
death of the countess. This bust
nesslike couple have entered into ar
rangements to sell their entire sources
of income to company, to be called
the Warwick Estates Company, Limit
ed, for the sum of 9295, 900, payable as
to G215,000 in cash and as to 100000
in fully paid shares, the latter COM
prising tWo-thirds of the total share
capital Of the company, of which G34,-
500 is reserved for future issue The
cash is to be mainly provided out of
the proceeds of a present debenture
stock issue Of G210,00O, carrying in
terest at the rate of per cent. and
secured by a specific first mortgage to
trustees of the life interest of the earl
in his Warwickshire estates, a free
hold etate with collieries in Somerset
shire, and the countess settlements Sc
cured on her Essex and Leicestershire
estates. Insurance policies have been
taken out on the two lives separately,
involving an annual premium charge
upon the company of e7,75O, but Sc
curing the repayment of the debenture
principal as already mentioned.
The Right Honorable the Earl Of
Warwick heads the list of directors.
He does not produce other than in
ferential testimonials as to his capa-
bilities for managing property of this
kind, but he will be recollected as hav-
ing figured in some of the HoOley
deals, being chairman of the Singer
Cycle Company, as we'll as of the milli-
merry undertaking foated by the Andre
Mendel group under the name of Mai
son VlfOt, Limited. 1t is noticeable
that the countess has not seat upon
the board We should not be sur
prised to learn that she is the better
business man of the two for she has
for some time had the distinction OF
being the only peeress whose name is
displayed over the door of a Bond
street shop. The three other directors
of the Warwick Estates Company are
Lord Kenyon, Tyndale White and
Major w. T. E. Fosbery. It is to be
noted that the trustees for the deben-
ture stockholders are Sir Henry G.
Burdett, late of the Stock Exchange
stock and share department., and his
grace the Duke of Sutherland, who is
of course, sort of stepbrother-in-laW
to the Countess of Warwick.-London
