Chancery Court in London for permission
to sell a family heirloom, a blue diamond
weighing 4fsl carats, and estimated to be

unique until another IL was recently
found weighing 35 carats. Counsel for
Lord Hope argued that the gem was use
less for ornament and that it would he
wiser to sell it for the benefit of Lord
Hopes income than to allow it to lie i'll a
bank safe for the next forty years. Coun-
sci for the Duke of Newcastle and Lady
Beatrice Lisler- Kaye, the eldest sister of
Lord Hope, opposed the sale, which the
