Note 62 — LORD NORBURY.

Reading edition

His lordship purchased from the legatee of the parliamentary trustee of my family estate, a small portion of it in the Queens’ county, for, I believe, 40,000l. I have taken steps to render all those sales subjects of equity inquiry—the trustee having bought it up himself, after some transfers—I unfortunately assented to the Act of Parliament which left 8000l. a year at the mercy of trustees—Dieu et mon droit!

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
