Benjamin are irreconcilable over the marriage of their daughter, the former Mrs. Alexander Dallas Bache Pratt, to Preston Gibson was made known in the Supreme Court yesterday when they filed suit to terminate the trust of $200,000 created by Mrs. Gibson for her children, Cynhia and Dallas Bache Pratt, 2d, under which they are to be maintained until they are of age, and after reaching their majority are to get the full income from the trust.

Etat : Good. 3 articles on 2 ledger sheets, 31 x 42cm. ."Sir Charles Garden Assheton-Smith, 1st Bt, was born on 16 April 1851 at Ryde, Isle of Wight. He was the son of Robert George Duff and Mary Astley. He was baptised on 19 June 1851 at Ryde, Isle of Wight.The name change from Duff to Assheton-Smith came as a result of the death in 1859 of his mother's aunt, the childless but wealthy widow of Thomas Assheton Smith MP (1776-1858). The estate at Vaynol in Wales passed from the deceased widow to George William (Duff) Duff-Assheton-Smith (1848-1904), the elder brother of Charles Garden Duff, together with the exotic animal collection that was kept on the parklands which were part of the Vaynol estate. These included "wild bears and [allegedly] wild white cattle". The name came with the property. Although sources do not spell it out, this was almost certainly an express term included in the will of the deceased as a condition for inheriting the property. When George William (Duff) Duff-Assheton-Smith (1848-1904) died he was not childless. However, there was "only" a daughter, so the lands were transferred not to his own child but to his younger brother, the Charles Garden Duff who is the principle focus of this page. This was again conditional on taking the name that went with the estate, so Charles Garden Duff became Charles Garden Assheton-Smith. Further advancement came with the coronation in London of a new British King George V and His Queen in June 1911. Charles Garden Assheton-Smith was among those who became a baronet."He married, firstly, Hon Maud Frances Vivian, daughter of Charles Crespigny Vivian, 2nd Baron Vivian, of Glynn and of Truro, and Mary Elizabeth Panton, on 16 February 1875 at Bangor, County Down, Ireland."He married, secondly, Mary Elizabeth Brinsley Sheridan, daughter of Algernon Thomas Brinsley Sheridan and Mary Lothrop Motley, on 10 July 1894. He and Mary Elizabeth Brinsley Sheridan were divorced. ."He died on 24 September 1914 at age 63. [4]"He was given the name of Charles Garden Duff at birth. He gained the title of 1st Baronet Duff, of VaynoThe grandfather of the brides was:Ambassador John Lothrop Motley (April 15, 1814 - May 29, 1877) was an American author and diplomat. As a popular historian, he is best known for his works on the Netherlands, the three volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic and four volume History of the United Netherlands. As United States Minister to Austria in the service of the Abraham Lincoln administration, Motley helped to prevent European intervention on the side of the Confederates in the American Civil War. He later served as Minister to the United Kingdom (Court of St. James) during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.In December , 1870 Mr. Motley sent a 62-page dispatch to Secretary Fish, titled "End of a Mission," in which he protested his recall and recounted the events leading to the dispatch of November 10. The Secretary followed with an even longer rejoinder sent, not to Motley, who was no longer in an official position and hadn't been when he had sent the dispatch, but to the chargé d'affaires, Benjamin Moran. Senator Sumner upbraided Mr. Grant and Mr. Fish on the Senate floor, then had the Senate publish all the documents related to the recall. In 1878 Oliver Wendell Holmes, a fellow Brahmin, wrote a memorial biography which was devoted to a defense of the former minister and a repudiation of his recall. John Jay, who had succeeded Mr. Motley in Vienna, published his own defense of him in 1877. Mr. Grant, after leaving the presidency, wrote a letter to the New York Herald reiterating that his reason for dismissing Mr. Motley was solely that he had failed to carry out his duties. Mr. Grant restated this charge a few years later in a Cairo interview, while he was on a world tour, concluding that he had no ill will toward Mr. Motley who "?like other estimable men, made mistakes, and Motley made a mistake which made him an improper person to hold office under me.".Provenance: Lt.-Col.
