In chapter 5, according to Dr. Mortimer, a distant cousin of the Baskervilles named James Desmond, an elderly clergyman in Westmorland, would inherit the estate, but it turned out that there was an unknown Baskerville who would have had a delicate time proving his rights and his innocence in the matter.
