NOW A BARONET

SYDNEY BANK CLERK

A seventeenth . century English baronetcy has passed to a Sydney bank clerk, says the Sydney "Sun."

He is Mr. Frederick Trollope—grandson of the Victorian novelist, Anthony Trollope—and he becomes fourteenth Baronet of Casewick.

The actual estate associated with the baronetcy is small, it was learned. It is unlikely that the title, Sir Frederick Trollope, will be used in Sydney.

The new baronet was not inclined to discuss the title. The previous holder was an aged man who had gained the baronetcy in 1935.

Asked if he intended to' accept the honour, Mr. Trollope replied: "That question does not arise. The title simply passes down.'^"

A cable was received by "The Sun" from London stating that, following the death of * Sir '• Arthur Grant Trollope, the title and Lincolnshire estates pass to the next heir, a grandson of the novelist.

Two of the grandsons are dead. One, Frank Anthony Trollope, died last year in Hongkong. The "oldest surviving grandson is Frederick Trollope, a middle-aged man. He is chief security clerk at the Commercial Banking Co., of Sydney, Ltd. Originally the title was. a-barony, which became extinct when Lord Kestevan was killed during the war. He had no direct heirs, and only the baronetcy was passed down. The .. title was created in 1642. ■■••-.
