Offer of Property.

LONDON. Jan. 1.-The correspondence
between Chancellor OF the Excheduer
Lloyd George and the Duke Of Suther-
land regarding the latters Offer to sell
thousands OF acres OF deer forest in
Scotland to the Government for 81 an
acre was published this morning The
letters were acrimonious and the belief
that the Chancellor overestimated the
property Of the Duke Is borne out The
Duke says ne owns only 100000 acres,
while the Chancellor credited him with
100000.
In his letter TO Mr.. Lloyd George TAX
ing him to task for this error the Duke
of Sutherland says:
Even with the knowledge which all
toe world possesses OF your controversial
methods. I am astonished that you
should be guilty Of such gross inaccu-
racy upon IA matter relevant to our corre-
spondence and In relation to which pro-
else Information Ia readily obtainabie.' -
Mr.. Lloyd George. In the course Of a
long reply to this attack. says:
Before you undertake to deliver gratu-
itous lectures to public men on contro-
versial methods you might rectify those
errors OF accountantship In your estate
which apply different methods Of assess
ment according to whether you are 70 pay
money or receive IT,"
This rebuke refers to the fact that when
the late Duke died succession duties were
levied on the estate according TO figures
presented by the present Duke. These
figures were later found to be an under
estimate Of the property. The Duke ex-
planned that the figures submitted by him
were only a preliminary estimate.
