EDINBURGH COURT OF SESSIONS
HEARS MOST REMARKABLE
CASE TODAY.
Will Be Dug Up and Rehashed
in the Courts.

EDINBURGH, Oct. 9.-When the
Edinburgh court of sessions convened
today. it was to hear an action which
is among the most romantic ever aired
in q Scottish court Scandal in the
lives of great and mighty mobiles now
turned to dust will be rehashed during
the hearing.
The action is brought by Mrs Alex
ander Wentworth Macdonald Bosville,
Of Thorpe hall, near Bridingon, one
of the best known county gentlemen nj
Yorkshire, who asks for a declaration
of the legitimacy of the eldest son of
the third Lord Macdonald of the Isles.
Vastly interesting is the story lead

Although the duke was so anxious
to have his marriage legalized, he was
not by any means faithful to it, and
was soon engaged in an amour with
his wife's lady of the bedchamber,
Lady Almeria Carpenter, daughter of
the last Earl of Tyrconnel From this
liaison daughter was born, with
whom the romance of the case which
has now been entered really begins.
This lady. who went by the name of
Farley Edsir-that being the name Of
her reputed father-lived for some
years in Holyrood Palace. wher she
had rooms. in the early part of the
century, and died there.
The third Lord Macdonald of the
Isles, so it is alleged, wooed her and
| ran off with her to Gretna Green,
where they were married They had
| two children, son and a daughter
! The daughter married in 1926 the fifth
| Earl of Hopetoun, and was the great
grandmother of the present Marquis
of Linlithgow and the son was over in
| the succession of the title.
| After the birth of her two children
/ Lady Mcdonald acquired religious
scruples and insisted on being re-
married in the church in England
| BY some curious legal bubble this
| action apparently caused the former
| marriage to become null, and de-
prived the two elder children of the
advantage of having been born in
| wedlock The elder son. Mr.. Alex
ander Macdonald, took the name OF
Bosville on inheriting from relative
large estates in Yorkshire.
The second son. Godfrey. who was
born in 1909, after the marriage in
| England succeeded to the peerage
and the estates in Skye. He was sue
ceeded by his eldest son Somerled, or
whose death in Edinburgh thirty-fve
| years ago the title passed 10 his
| younger brother Mr. Ronald Mac"
| donald, who now holds it.
| The claimant in the case now to be
heard is the grandson of the disin-
herited Alexander Macdonald. or Bos-
Vile, and he raises the question
whether the second or religious mar
riage ceremony did. indeed, deprive
| his grandfather of the right to be
considered the elgest legitimate son
| of the third Lord Macdonald. A very
| interesting case is looked forward to
| The sisters of the present Lord
| Macdonald are Lady Napier of Mag
| da!a. Lillian. Countess of Cromartie
and Mrs Anthony Obdy. Lord Mae
| donald married Miss Louise Ross
| daughter of the late Colonel Ross, OF
! Cromarty. and has a family of three
| sons and one daughter.
