Tho Farldon OF Darnley. its Niscounty'

,aa, IN toe House OF Lords for life 1t Is
.s repres, .ative peer of Ireland. lie
/, claimant 10 the Scottish Dukedom
~ T.annox. now held By the Duke of Rich-
nsnd. The old Stuart DuSedom OF Len
rox was a Scotch one, and nearly ali the
Yearages OF Scotland are transm'ssiole
through the female line.
II is fust q question whether the stuart
Dlkedonl OF Lennox belonged to this
stsgory or not. Charles II took the
ground that II did not. and that the
honor had become extinct on the death
Of the last stuart Duke Of Lennox' be
slowing It in consequence, along with the
Dakedorn Of Richmond, as new crea-
ion. upon mis- natural son by Louise dc
Querouallles. Duchess Of Portsmouth
from whom the present Duke of Rich
nonS OF Gordon and Of Lennox Is de-
sserded IN the direct male line.
Should. however. the dukedom be trans
niss!ble In the female line, then II IN
jeubtedly belongs to the Earl OF Darn
lev. as descended from Lady Catherine
stuart. the last Stuart Duke OF Lennoxs
laughter II the earl has mace no move
as get 10 secure the dukedom 1t Is On
account OF the enormous expense involved
