part Of their honeymoon as the
quests of Lord Kitchener, an old
friend of the family.
The trial of the Murray Scott will
suit was a famous one in English
jurisprudence. It revived in a dra-
known Wallace collection and the
love story of Pepita, the Spanish
dancer, and Lord Sackvil1e. over
which there was so much litigation
few years ago.
This romance dated back to 1870,
ford, of Thackeray's Lord
Steyne," went to France in search of
health. He was accompanied by
Richard Wallace, who was introduced
as a kinsman. When he died about
a month after landing in France. the
marquis left a fortune estimated at
$12, 100000 to Wallace.
Wallace decided to use a large part
of the money in aiding the people of
Paris, Impoverished by the Franco
Prussian war. In this undertaking he
employed a son of DR.. John Scott, a
young lawyer. Through his zeal in
this work John Murray Scott laid the
foundation for his own fortune, which
at his death was estimated at $780,
100000.
Both Wallace and Scott came to be
strong friends of Lionel SackvfIle-
,
embassy. The latter had met Pepita
de Olivia, Spanish dancer, and plan
ned to marry her but found that he
couldn't, as she was already married.
Gossip continued to connect the
names of the two however, and the
dancer soon came to be known as
Countess Vest
Sir John remained unmarried. Lord
Sackvi1le-West's daughter, Victoria
Josephine, fell in love with and mar
ried her fathers nephew, Lionel Ed
ward Sackvflle-West, who was made
heir to the titles and estates. Scott
feared that the claim of Pepita's son
might be sustained and that Lady
Sackville-West and her husband
would be left without income. So he
made a codictI to his will to save the
woman from any vtcissitudes of for
tune.
It was this codici1 which formed
the basis for the contest in the recent
suit. The draft for it was found
among the effects of Sir John when
he died in January of 1911, but the
solicitors contended that no copy of
it had ever been executed. They Of
fered a, reward of $4,000 for the
missing copy" but the court sus-
tanned the claims of Lady Sackville-
West and she obtained possession of
her part Of the fortune.
