A GLADSTONIAN CHIP.
♦ i A chip of the first tree felled by Mr. j Gladstone at Hawarden, after the an- \ nouncement, in 1 879, that he intended I to forsake Greenwich and seek the representation of Midlothian, has justj ust ' been sold by auction at Clerkenwell ; under a distress of rent. The article i was undoubtedly highly prized by its i possessor, for he had taken the trouble to fix upon it a silver plate containing ' a description of its history and origin engraved in a highly ornamented • manner. The hammer fell when the bidding for the chip, silver plate in- ' eluded, reached 7s 6d. It was stated that the article was purchased by the broker whoso duty it was to seize tho goods, for presentation to the Radical Club, of which he is a member.
