A NEW AND FORMIDAB.M ELEMENT.

London, Feb. 5,

As the result of the lamented and tragic death of Lord Herbert VaneTempest in the Cambrian railway disaster, when two trains met head-on on a single track, the estate in Antrim, known as Garron Towers, with surrounding lands, passes into the possession i)t Mr. Winston Churchill, first cousin once removed. The inheritance is believed to be in the vicinity of £5OOO per annum. The relationship came about thus: Mr. Churchill’s great-grandmother, who was the grandmother of Lord Herbert, was Jhe daughter and hairtss of Mayrj

Vane-Tempest and wife of the third I Marquess of Londonderry. The pro- ‘ perty in question was bequeathed by her * to the younger children of her son, the ) fifth Lord Londonderry, and after them , to the children of her daughter, Lady i Emily Vane Tempest, who had married 1 the seventh Duke of Marlborough. One. i of the latter was the late Lord Randolph ; Churchill, father of Mr. Winston ’ Churchill. Mr. Churchill is thus heir to i the property by reason of Lord Herbert : Vane-Tempest’s death without issue. ; The Marchioness of Londonderry, Sir ■ Henry Vane-Tempest’s heiress, died in 1865, and left £lO,OOO to Lord Herbert Vane-Tempest’s elder brother, who predeceased him, and sums estimated to be j more than £14,000 per annum for 21 j years, to accumulate at compound interest, for her son, the fifth Lord Lon- ; donderry, and his issue, the youngest of I whom was Lord Hrbert Vane-Tempest. 1 By another political writer the opinionl is hazarded) “Perhaps the greatest which the twin leaders of the Coalition hays reeeived i» tb» JthUll
