Tho love affair of the late Earl of Shrewsbury and Mrs Brownlee was revealed in the probate court. The Earl was separated from hia wife in 1906, and made the acquaintance of Mrs Brownlee, then a girl of 20 years of age, in 1908. They were attracted to each other with a mutual fondness for sport, animals and racing, and afterwards lived together. The Earl, m September last, revoked dispositions amounting to a quarter of a million sterling in favour of the present Earl and other members of the family, thus practically leaving the whole of ‘his estate to Airs Brownlee.

The chargo was denied.
