I, the undersigned REGINALD JAMES BLEWITT, do hereby give you Notice that I became the lawful owner of these estates on the death of my elder brother, EDWARD hereby give you Notice that I became the lawful owner of these estates on the death of my elder brother, EDWARD FRA.NCIS BLEWITT, which happened on the 20th Feb- ruary, 1868, and that I have not made any (disposition of the estates whereby my rights to the same can be affected. I therefore give to you and each of you Notice that any Lease or Agreement made with any of you since the said i 20th February, 1868, is absolutely null and void, but it is I my intention to treat with the most just and honourable consideration all such as will at once acknowledge my title and submit their leases or agreements for my appro- I val. I will confirm all payments of rent made before the receipt of this notice, but any payment made afterwards will be disallowed. I shall shortly appoint a Receiver and Manager of the estates, of which appointment you will have due notice, and you are not to pay any rents or galeages to any person not authorised by me in writing to receive the same.

LMr. Blewitt having been obliged to distrain on several tenants, will. allow those who have not replevied four months' interest at five per cent., with expenses.] TO THE TENANTS ON THE LLAN- l TARNA.M ABBEY ESTATE, in the County of Monmouth. 9, New Square, Lincoln's Inn, 27th August, 1875. GENTLEMEN,—Mr. REGINALD JAMES BLEWITT has sent us a printed copy of a Notice, dated 14th August, 1875, addressed to you, requiring you not to pay Rents to any person but himself or his Agents, and containing a State- ment of what he calls his Title to the Estate. On behalf and by direction of the real Owners of the Estate, we beg to give you Notice that Mrs. DOWLING is now the Tenant for Life of the Estate, subject to certain charges on it; that she is the person entitled to receive the Rents, and that Mr. R. J. BLEWITT has no Title whatever, and has no pretence for interfering in any way. We do not think it necessary to comment upon Mr. BLEWITT'S explanation, as Tenants are not at liberty to dispute the Title of the persons under whom they hold, but we send this Notice in order that no one may be in- duced, by Mr. BLEWITT'S statement, to pay him any Rent. The Rents will be collected at the usual time by Mrs. DOWLING, and no payment to any one but to her, or her recognised Agents, will be recognised. We are, your obedient Servants, 20,937] HUNTERS GWATKIN & Co. (To the Editor of the Merlin.) WITH reference to the advertisement of Messrs. Hun- ter, Gwatkin, and Co., in your last week's paper, I have only to say that I have caused an ejectment to be issued against their Client, and that immediately after they appeared I caused the issue to be made up, and gave notice of trial for the first sittings of thenew High Court of Justice for the City of London, for proof of my title as heir at-law of my brother, and as issue in tail I shall be entitled to judgment in November next. Wishing to give Messrs. Hunter and Gwatkin every facility for proving their alleged claim, I have offered to appear immediately and join issue with them upon any counter claim on the part of their Client, but to this offer I have had no reply. In order further to try the question of title, I have asked Messrs. Hunter to accept service of ejectments against some of the principal tenants, but this they have declined. Under these circumstances I have been forced to dis- train but feeling it would be a great hardship upon the tenants to be forced to pay their rents before the usual time, I intend to allow each of them who shall not have replevied, four months' interest at 5 per cent., and all expenses incurred by having been distrained upon. I REGINALD J. BLEWITT. Dated the 6th September, 1875. P.S.-The proper course for Messrs. Hunter is to apply to the Vacation Judge for an injunction, on which appli- cation I will appear immediately, and if any of the tenants should be distrained upon or served with any kind of legal proceeding by Messrs Hunter, I will undertake their defence free of any expense. TO MESSRS. HUNTER, GWATKIN, & HUNTER. GENTLEMEN,—It can be no possible ad- vantage to your Client to publish such letters as that which you last week caused to be inserted in the MERLIN. You have not taken one single step to prove your Client's claim, while I have done everything in my power to establish my right, and offered you every facility to enable your proceedings to march to trial pari passu with mine. Mr. DOWLING told me not very long ago that his mother had refused to sign the mortgage deeds for raising the money necessary to pay to the purchasers of my re- version from the official managers the balance of their purchase money. I leave the public to judge, if I had died in my brother's lifetime, how these purchasers would J have fared. Messrs. Hunter's Client would have refused to sign, and as a femme coverte who had not been ex- amined separately from her husband, she could not have been compelled. Her arrangement with the official managers was a nudum fractum, and void ipso facto without reference to any other objections. I am not sure that she signed any of the deeds of 1856, but if she did I know it was done most reluctantly, as she wished to stand on her own chance of getting the whole estate without incumbrance. Your late partner, Mr. Gwatkin, well knew what trouble Mr. DOWLING had to induce your Client to allow him to make any use of her name for this or any other purpose. REGINALD J. BLEWITT. 6th September, 1875. [20,952 (To the Editor of the Monmouthshire Merlin.) SIR,-Those who think that there is anything improper 0 or unjust in my conduct towards Mrs. Dowling, have only to put themselves in my place, and say what they would have done under similar circumstances. At her urgent request I undertook to advise her in a dispute between herself, as the reputed owner of the Llan- tarnam Abbey Estate, and the Pontypool, Caerleon, and Newport Railway Company, who were behaving to her in a most unjust and arbitrary manner. I shall not enter upon a narration of all the mortifica- tion and annoyances I had to endure from her own capri- cious temper and the conduct of the different Solicitors she employed; suffice it for me to say, that in August, 1874, through the refusal of Messrs. Phillips and Son to follow my advice, a Bill in Chancery, which had been filed against the Company, was dismissed with costs. Messrs. Phillips and Son advised an appeal to the House of Lords. I agreed that an appeal might be sustained, but advised that an ejectment should accompany it. Not being able to prevail on Messrs Phillips and Son to adopt my opinion, I, at my own risk and. expense, com- menced an ejectment and appeal, by which, if successful, as I can prove they must have been, they would have relieved Mrs. Dowling from the payment of from £ 2,000 to .£3,000 in costs. The ejectment was tried at Mon- mouth, contrary to the advice of Messrs. Powell and Jelf, who recommended that the Record should be withdrawn, which would have cost me from £ 400 to £ 500, and Mr. Justice Quain, without hearing the counsel for the defen- dants, directed the jury to find a verdict for the plaintiff, subject to a special case, to be settled by Mr. Dowdeswell, if the parties could not agree. A special case was drawn up, but Mr. Dowdeswell could make nothing of it, and the defendant's solicitors at last told him that he need not trouble himself to make any award, as the case was settled, which assertion was abso- lutely uutrue. It may be assumed that judgment on the ejectment, secured by my means, was entirely successful. Mrs. Dow- ling had opposed the proceeding, but I am informed that she was gratified to hear of its success, as well she might be, seeing that it put the Company dbmpletely in her power. Nothing now remained but the appeal, which, at my own expense, I had got set down to be heard, having paid the fees to counsel for their certificate, made the deposit of .£20, and prepared the briefs for the hearing. Let Sir Charles IHall, who dismissed the bill, read one of these briefs, and I will trust to his candour and honourable character to say whether it was possible to support the order he had made in face of my objections. Can any human being accuse me of any improper motive I in taking either of these proceedings ? and yet no sooner had Mrs. Dowling heard of the appeal, than she gave orders that it should be stopped. Messrs.Field and Roscoe, of Lincoln's Inn Fields, took her part; Mr. James Bour- dillon, my solicitor, refused to act for me; the Lord Chan- cellor and Lords Justices set aside my petition of appeal for imputed irregularity, while the irregularity, if any, was occasioned by the Lord Chancellor himself for autho- rising an order to be enrolled in direct violation of a standing order of his own Court. The result of all this was that the appeal was most effectually stopped, and all my expenditure, amounting to nearly £ 500, thrown away. Most fortunately for me, I had one resource, which enabled me to turn the tables against all my enemies. It is well known to all lawyers that a mortgagor always re- tails the right of what is called an equity of redemption, which, in other words, is a right to redeem the mortgaged lands by payment within six months after an account taken by the Court of Chancery, of principal and interest. This right remains to me. I hare never disposed of it either to the official managers or to vin. Dowling. In 1856 the official managers might have sold my mortgage interest by public auction, for £30,000 ready money. They preferred to sell it to Mrs- Dowling for £ 37,000, payable on my brother's death. Instead of waiting for that event, they chose to sell the .£37,000 in small parcels, most of which were bought by JMr. Gwatkin, Mrs. Dowling's solicitor and trustee. I had nothing to do with this arrangement, directly nor indirectly. In the year 1853 I received from the official managers, with many compliments for my honourable conduct, a general release from every liability except the mortgage of Giotto. I my reversionary interest, which they afterwards sold for j X37,0,1,1, as before mentioned, on my brother's death. This sum was reduced, by the sale of timber, to £ 34,500, which has been raised by mortgage, the money being ad- vanced by Mr. Gwatkin, or some of his friends, without, as I have been informed, the signature of Mrs. Dowling. All claims against me arc now barred by the Statute of Limitations aud general release; but I propose to pay to Mr. Gwatkin's representatives such a sum as was realised by the official managers by the sale, under his advice, of the £ 37,t00. If provoked by any more publications of Messrs. Hunter, I can give very good reasons why I should not pay one single shilling on this account I It is with the deepest regret that I have felt myself obliged to give this painful recital of my private affairs. In now claiming my rights, I have not been actuated by any of that sordid love of lucre which induces men, with one foot in the grave, to lust after riches which they can- not enjoy I have never cared for money in respect to my own per- sonal enjoyments, and in the use I propose to make of my now ample fortune, during the short time I have to lire, I will endeavour to show that it has not fallen into un- worthy hands. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, REGINALD J. BLEWITT. O THE TENANTS OF THE LLAN- T TARNAM ABBEY ESTATES. GENTLEMEN,—I have been exceedingly distressed at reading in the MERLIN an account of what took place last week at Pen-y-Park and the Green. House Inn. My in. structions to John Thorp, my bailiff for distraining, but not my agent, were to execute his duty in the most cour- teous and considerate manner, and in strict accordance with the law. I did not authorise him to employ any men to repel force by force but, if he were obstructed, to apply to the nearest magistrate for protection. Had I been at the Green House when he arrived, as the MERLIN describes, with his men, I should have desired him to send them away immediately, and if not permitted to distrain by Mr. Dowling's order, I should have read the Riot Act and ordered to be taken into custody all those who would not disperse. When he wrote me that Mr. Evans refused to proceed with the sale of hay regularly distrained at Pen-y- Park, and told him (Thorp) his life was not safe if he (Thorp) were to go to Llantarnam, I wrote Mr. H. J. Davis, the magistrates' clerk, (myself being a magistrate of 40 years standing) to send for Mr. Dowling, and inform him he could not be permitted to break the peace by inter. fering with a distress lawfully made. Mr. Davis' reply, twice repeated, was that Llantarnam was not in either of his divisions, and that he could not and would not interfere. Thorp, on applying for protection, was told by Mr. Justice (Mr. Davis' partner) that he must go to Mr. Edmund Edwards, the magistrates' clerk for the Pontypool Division, but said it would be of no use, as he knew that Mr. Edwards would not interfere. I do not believe this of Mr. Edwards, for I remember his acting under me many years ago with good knowledge of the law and magis terial duties. Mr. Evans, the auctioneer, refusing to proceed with the gale from bodily fear, and telling Thorp that his life would not be safe in re-visiting Llantarnam, a printed circular was concocted by them and approved by Mr. Woollett, signed by Thorp, as my agent, inviting you to meet him at the Westgate Inn, and hear his explanations of my conduct-all necessary explanations having been already given in a much more efficient manner than could be dope by an ignorant man like Thorp. A copy of this circular was sent to me. In the first instance it reminded me of an amusing scene between Owen Glendwr and Hotspur:— I can call spirits from the vasty deep (saith the And so can I, and so can any man, Welshman) But will they come when you do call for them ? Such is Hotspur's reply, and such (amongst many others) was my objection to the circular. I immediately sent a telegram to Mr. Davis, requesting him to send me the name of any magistrate in his division who refused to interfere for the purpose of protecting my lawful distress. Instead of sending me any such name, he wrote me a letter referring me to Mr. Edmund Edwards, at Pontypool. I have reported Mr. Davis' conduct to the Lord Chancellor but I expect an answer from his Lordship informing me that he has no authority over Mr Davis, and that I ought to have applied to the magistrates, and not be satisfied with the answer of their clerk. Under these circumstances I have thought it right to address a letter to His Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Lieutenant of the county, and responsible to Her Majesty for preserving the peace therein, now seriously endangered by the proceedings of Messrs. Hunter and of Mr. Dowling. I want no money from any of you before the usual period of collection; but Mrs. Dowling not being in possession of any part of the property, I am obliged either to eject or distrain upon you. After a successful ejectment I- could then maintain an action for mesne profits. I have no doubt that any advice from me will be re- garded with suspicion but any of the Newport solicitors) even those most unfavourable to my cause, will be obliged to confess that you have no other course to adopt. Write, every one of you, to Messrs. Hunter, Gwatkin, and Hunter, No. 9, New Square, Lincoln's Inn, and in- form them that unless they will undertake to appear for you to an action of ejectment, or to replevy your goods if distrained upon by me, you shall attorn tenants to me and pay your rents accrued due since the last payment, and all future rents, to me or to my order. To such of you as within ten days from the date hereof shall signify to me in a letter, addressed to the care of James Girdwood, Esq., 49, Pall Mall, London, that you are willing to attorn and pay rent as aforesaid, specifying the amount admitted to be due, with a small payment in ad- vance, I promise immunity and protection. Against all the rest I shall proceed either by ejectment or distress, ac- cording to the laws of the realm. Iremain, your obedient servant, REGINALD J. BLEWITT. Dated 15th September, 1875. [I have thought it better to postpone my intended letter to the Lord-Lieutenant until I hear from Mr. Edmund Edwards, of Pontypool, magistrates' clerk and Under Sheriff, the result of an application made to him to protect my distress at Pen-y-park, either by the inter- vention of one of the justices of his division, or by calling out on the part of the High Sheriff a sufficient force of the posse comitatus.j TO LANDSCAPE GARDENERS AND FORESTERS • \XJ HERE AS CERTAIN PERSONS IN » the employment of Messrs. Lucas Brothers, of Great George-street, Westminster, contractors, at the instigation of some evil-disposed and malicious persons, did, iu or about the month of April, 1872, demolish a portion of my Park wall, near the Pontypool Lodge, and there break into a plantation of young ornamental timber trees, of nearly forty years growth, there growing, and did, notwithstanding the remonstrances of an agent for the property, cut down, carry away, and convert to their own use such trees, and whereas I have commenced an action against the said Messrs. Lucas for damages, on account of the said wilful and wanton trespass, and I claim, amongst other things, that they shall replace the said trees by others of similar age and growth-Now I do hereby give notice that I am ready to contract with any person accustomed to the removal of growing timber trees, for the replanting, as nearly as possible in the same place, 20 of the same kind of tr2ss as were cut down. The contractor must find th ? trees where he can, and undertake to keep them in good health and condition for at least three years. The stumps of the trees are to be seen neai the Pontypool Lodge of Llantarnam Abbey. And whereas an ignorant and incom- petent engineer, in the employment of the said Messrs. Lucas, did in the month of January, 1873, begin to con- struct a coffer-dam in the middle of the river Avon Llwyd, for the purpose of carrying the Pontypool, Caerleon, and Newport Railway over the said river by a bridge of two arches, and by diverting the current of the river in a direct line towards my dwelling house, gardens, and shrubberries, did cause to be undermined and washed away several yards in length and breadth of a strong natural bank used as a wharf, in con- sequence of which the said wharf was rendered useless, and the land between the river and the house was inun- dated and covered with sand, stone and other rubbish, and in consequence of which also the cellars were filled, the drainage impeded, and the health and comfort of the inmates injuriously affected; and whereas a part of the said coffer-dam still remains in the bed of the river, and the bank has not been restored as it ought to have been and whereas I am entitled to have the coffer-dam entirely removed and the bank and whart' restored to their original state, at the expense of the said Messrs. Lucas. Now, there- fore, I do Hereby Give Notice to all Engineers and Contrac- tors that I am ready to receive Tenders for the execution of the works required to be done by Messrs. Lucas in the most efficient manner, subject to the approval of an Engineer to be appointed bJ" me. Dated the 16th day of September, 1875. REGINALD J.
