Charles Towry-Law, 3rd Baron Ellenborough

Lieutenant Colonel Charles Edmund Towry-Law, 3rd Baron Ellenborough (17 November 1820 – 9 October 1890), was a member of the House of Lords.

All three became absolutely entitled to a considerable amount of property, but Charles and Gertrude were of unsound mind and in weak health.

Gertrude Law died in 1895 intestate and a spinster, whereupon one-half of her personal estate devolved upon her sister, and was in pursuance of the settlement handed over to the trustees.

In 1902 Charles Towry, Lord Ellenborough, died intestate and a bachelor, and letters of administration to his estate were granted to his sister, Emily Law, who was his heiress-at-law and sole next of kin.

Emily Law was not desirous of bringing any further property into the settlement, and she now applied by originating summons, in the matter of Lord Ellenborough's estate and in the matter of the settlement for the determination of the question whether her interest as heiress-at-law and sole next of kin was effectually assigned to the trustees, and whether she bound to assign or transfer such interest.
