MR ASQUITH'S TITLE
CLAIMED BY STONEMASON. TOMBSTONE PROOFS, Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, January 23. (Received January 29. at 9 a.m.) Mr Ernest De Yere, a stonemason, living at Wapping with his grown-up family, claims to be the twenty-sixth Earl of Oxford, the title which Mr Asquith is assuming. Ho says his great-grandfather, who was eccentric, destroyed all documents, and ho now only possesses proofs provided by the inscriptions on the family graves. “We are not going to be bothered with a fight for the title,” he said, “ because there is no money concerned.”—Sydney ‘ Sun ’ Cable.
