onation of George Here is the letter
which Guelph mailed to king George
yesterday morning:
My Dear Brother George: It was
my intention to have taken the neces-
sa=y steps to accept the challenge of
the kings champion at the prelim-
inaries in Westminster hall in connee-
ton with the forthcoming coronation,
with a view to appealing in the spirit
of honor. justice and chivalry of the
people of the British empire to inter-
pref the laws of church and state by
which marriages in the United King
dom are regulated, and thereby obtain
once for all the legal definition of
direct legitimate lineal succession to
the throne.
Il am Informed by the consul gen
erai Of Sam Francisco that the time
honored office OF kings champion
was declared extinct by the decision
of the court of claims held at the last
coronation This is unfortunate but
not entirely unexpected, as IN 1894 I
intimated to our revered grandmother,
Victoria. and to our lamented father
my intention to take such action to
reinstate my long suffering and deeply
Wronged mother to the seat of honor
before the empire and the world.
Under the circumstances. I have
now no other alternative than that of
submitting directly to the court of
claims my unqualified protest against
the proposed coronation ceremony, on
the ground that, in my opinion. the
direct legitimate lineal succession.
within the meaning of the marriage
laws Of both church and state, lies
with the first born son of the late
sovereign, our father, and by his first
wife.
Recognized by Edward
And as your father accorded to me
the recognition. protection and sup
port within the meaning of the law
governing the recognition of legiti-
mate offspring. my action in this mat
ter. is prompted by a sense of duty to
my people, and is in no way intended
to reflect upon you. My personal feel
