One night card party took place
there. The players were the present
Duke of Portlands grandfather and
the Earl of Harcourt. The stakes
were high. and luck went against the
Duke. At last the mansion was the
stake, and It became the property OF
the Earl.
But when the transfer came to be
made it was found that there were
legal difficulties In the way Of alienat.

1t formed part. The difficulty wss
got over by the Duke taking ninety
