STRATHSPEY’S PLEA
’ SOME’ SUITABLE OCCUPATION” NIECE HOLDS VAST ESTATES. (Sydnev "Sun” Cabled LONDON, July 7. Lord Strathspey, in an interview, said he was unable to understand why the Seafield estates of 400,000 acres went to a niece instead of to him. He declares that the trustees will not respond to his appeals for assistance. “It is strange that they adopt this attitude. Most people agree it is only just to allow me at least a portion of the estates. They are content that I.' should live on a mere pittance of £7OO. If they would only find me some suitable occupation, like a directorship, I should be only too happy, but' they have never given me any assistance in such a direction.” The Seafield estates are held tyy the Countess of Seafieid, who is 19. Her mother was a daughter of Dr. J. T. ToWnend, formerly of Oamaru. Baron Strathspey is her heir.
