THE TICHBORNE HEIR AND ESTATE.
On the 28th of May next there will happen a new episode in a famous drama which in its time concentrated upon the Court at Westminster the attention of the civilised world. On that day Sir Henry Alfred Joseph Doughty Ticliborne comes of age, aud will enter into the possessions that have accumulated during his long minority. The -estate was deeply dipped into to meet the charges arising out of the c--ise of the Claimant, but it is said that it has since been so carefully nursed that the new baronet will come into a rent roll of nearly £30,000 a year. Arthur Orcon claimed the property as the eldest son of the lost passenger in the Bella. The present baronet was many years younger. He was, indeed, a posthumous child, and was born right into the baronetcy, which is one of the most ancient, although not nearly so old as the family, who were great people in Hampshire before the Conquest. Whilst the young heir thus comes into full enjoyment of his fortune, the man who churned it is earning a precarious living at pigeon matches, whilst the woman who called herself and was by many hailed as Lady Ticliborne, is with her two children living in a workhouse.
