The fake lord at Hadley's Orient Hotel Hobart:A colourful character the hotel saw through its doorswas Lord Lymington, but not all was as it seemed."This was a guest who checked in and announced himselfvery proudly to be Lord Lymington and he was apparently very charming and influential. But it all happened to be a case of false identity — he wasn't a lord at all. He had completely made up this story to escape and elope with another woman even though he was already married with nine children. He got a very special seat at the Theatre Royal and got treated very well for a while."The fake lord got away with it for a few days. After some investigations, he was caught out and had tostand trial facing charges of wife desertion.
