COFFINS OF STUART PRETENDERS
New Tomb In St. Peter’s
LONDON, March 20.
The Rome correspondent of “The Times” says that Cardinal Hinsley, Archbishop of Westminster, has entrusted to the Vatican a new tomb in the crypt of St. Peter’s for the remains of the Old and Young Pretenders and Henry, Cardinal of York. Their three coflins were removed in August from beside the coffin of Pope Pius X, where they have lain since 1807, because Pius XI chose this as his lasting resting place. James, Prince of Wales, known to the Jacobites as James 111 and to the Hanoverian Party as the Old Pretender, died in Rome in 1766.' He was buried with regal pomp in St. Peter’s, where Canova’s famous monument, erected by Pius VII in 1819, commemorates him and bis two sons— Prince Charles Edward, known as, the Young Pretender, who died in Rome in 1788, and Henry Benedict Stuart, who had an ecclesiastical career.”
