Ecclesiastical Promotions. 



[Feb. r. 



Philip, carl of Harthi ick, who for so many 

 years, and with such distinguished talents 

 and intcg^rity, held the office of lord hig-h 

 chancellor of Entfland. She for a moment 

 saw her husband possess the same high 

 station. Havings passed through the offices 

 of solicitor and attorney-general, he was, 

 as it is said, persuaded by his late miijesty 

 to quit, his friends, and the party with 

 whom he acted, and to accept the seal of 

 lord hisjh chancellor, was gazetted, and a 

 patent of peerage was niuking out, when 

 by his sudden death, Mrs. York saw her- 

 self deprived of the highest rank in the 

 nation, of a peerage to herself and family, 

 and of an affectionate husband. Since 

 that period she has continued in a state 

 of widowhood. She was the mother of 

 the right hon. Charles York, whom she 

 lived to see chosen to the offices of secre- 

 tary of state, and first lord of the ad- 

 miralty — of Sir Joseph York, an admiral 

 in the navy, and of the late countess of 

 St. Gerraaius. On the death of the earl of 

 H.'irdwick, who has no son, her son Charles 

 will succeed to the title. 



The late Duchess of Xorfolk. 

 The Duchess of Norfolk has left no near 

 relation, and her family estates go to a 

 very distant heir. There had been for 

 some time a commission of lunacy granted 

 from the Court of Chancery. The right 

 to the Horn Lacy property has been in 

 dispute for some time, amongst several 

 persons who have claimed it as heirs to 

 the last Lord .Scudamorc ; but it is sup- 

 posed that one moiety of ttie |iroperty will 

 fall to Sir Edwin Stanhope, Bart, and the 

 other so divided between General Burr and 

 Mr. Parkins, who claim, it is said, as co- 

 heirs at law of Sir James Scudamore, who 

 lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, they 

 being descended from two of his daughters. 

 The Rev. J. Harewood, B.D. F.S.A. claim 

 ed as being descended from a son of Sir 

 Joha Scudamore, who was Gentleman 

 Usher to King Henry VIII. and the ances- 

 tor Sir James: and a Mrs. Jackson, of Lon- 

 don, who was the petitioner when the 

 Duchess first became insane, claimed as 

 being descended from a daughter of the 

 same Sir John. Thus the fine Hom Lacy 

 estates go into an indirect Irne, after an 

 uninterrupted descent of many hundred 

 years, and, in fact, those three, who it is 

 supposed will take the property, wilt do 

 so as heirs to a person who vas born near 

 JOO years ago.
