Statement by Wife's Father.
The ale cations made by friends OF
the marquis are denied By Mr.. South
crst. father of the mschioness. Fol.
lowing IS his statement of the case:
when the marriage Of my daugh
ter 10 Lord Townshend was in course
Of arrangement and during the dis
cnssion as to the marriage settlement
an agreement was come TO between
myself and the marquis in which
agreed to procure TO BE- advanced to
his lordship. upon adequate security
the sum OF G27.000 tsl35.000t. to be

with interest at the rate OF four per
cent. per annum. and with the pro-
ceeds OF the advance TO pay off a loan
of about e12,0e0 and other debts

charge referred to is executed and all
