Labouchere Skewers Royal Grants in Dismissing Generosity
A London letter ridicules queen’s gifts of royal residences with survivor ship to foreign royals as a monstrous job. Labouchere notes such reversionary grants persisted, though Parliament resisted in earlier reigns. He cites recent warrants continuing the practice and mocks the notion of princes receiving houses through long survivorship while the sovereign lives. Americans eyeing Western Australia face harsh conditions in the new gold fields with scarce water and high costs. The Record reports the art market’s high point as Sir Joshua Reynolds’ portrait sells for eleven thousand guineas at Christies, bought by Charles Wertheimer.
