LONDESBOROUGH EARLDOM
AWAITING THE ISSUE. [BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] LONDON, May 26. When the Earl of Londesborough died in April, aged 42, he left no son. The earldom consequently has been presumed to be extinct, and his lesser title of Baron Londesborough is regarded as having passed to his cousin, Captain E. W. Denison. Lord' Londesborough’s widow, the Countess of Londesborough, however, anticipates the birth of a child in a few months’ time. If the child is a son he will assume all the titles of his late father. If it is a girl she will have the status of an earl’s daughter, with the prefix “Lady.” In such case Captain Denison will be, as he is regarded now, Baron Londesborough.
