Attorney-General: Claim on part of the King of Hanover to the jewels valued at £54,900 bequeathed conditionally by Queen Charlotte as heirlooms to the House of Hanover, but it was held that as they had been acquired with public money they became public property and as such a part of the inalienable property of the Crown.
