ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-FLOOD V. PATERSON. His Honour, the Master of Rolls, said—The question on this summons, which was adjourned from Chambers, is whether the statute of limitations bars the plaintiff from recovering his debts. The plaintiff is the legal personal representative of the creditor, and the defendant is the legal personal representative of the debtor, and the defen dant as the legal personal representative of her hus band has proved his will in Jersey. Sho has proved the will of her husband, who was the debtor. In the meantime the only question is whether there was any person in this country whom the creditor could sue during the time that the statute was running through the term of limitations. The question arising under this statute does not arise under the Commercial Mercantile Amendment Act, as it arose before the passing of that Act. The facts of this case were these—this debt was originally contracted in 1842, but interest was paid on the debt up to September, 1849. The debtor died in July, 1850. And there was probate of his wilPin the court of Jersey. And the question is whether the Mercantile Acts was retrospective, so as to enable any person to sue who was not residing in Jersey at the time? It is quite clear that the law laid down in the case of " Jackson v. Wooley" was correctly laid down. There it was clearly established that the statute had no retrospective operation, and therefore nothing can be taken from the act. I fully concur in the decision of the Court of Exchequer Chamber in that case, that the the act of Parliament intended to give a remedy to persons to recover their debts, but it had no retrospective operation. It did not take away any previous rights. The creditor here could not sue the debtor in this country or in Jersey. And the question is whether there was any person in this country that could be sued prospectively ? It could not apply to the plaintiff because he issued his summons against the executrix, and renewed it again in 1858. lam quite clear that that summons was not ineporative, be cause it could not be carried out. His Honour referred to the case of Webster v. Webster, 10 Vessey, as a decision on this point. And, moreover, the defendant came from Jersey to this country to see the Exhibition here in 1851. His Honour said—l am of opinion-that the Statute of Limitations does not bar the plaintiff from suing her in this country, and as the statute does not bar his claim, the plaintiff is entitled to the benefit which the act gives him to establish his claims against her. The costa of suit will be added to the plaintiff's claim. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Justice Blackburn.) COLBITRN V. ZONES AND ANOTHER. This was an action on a charter party. Mr. M. Smith appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. Prideaux for defendants. Mr. Colburn was the master of a ship called the Martha Whitmore, of Newport, and defendants were merchants at Bristol. On the 25th of April the plaintiffs entered into a charter party with the defendants to proceed after leaving a cargo at Baltimore to a port in New Brunswick, and take in for the charterers a cargo of deals and timber. In the charter party there was a provision that the ship should pay £25 towards the lighterage. The ship proceeded to New Brunswick, and took in the cargo, when Mr. Defreses agent there claimed several sums for carrying out the cargo amounting in all to £125. Carrying ;out the cargo meant bringing it out of the country. The condition was that the plaintiff as charterer was liable to pay the whole claims. It was contended by the defendants that the custom of the port was for those charges to be all defrayed by the ship. The defendants had paid £5O into Court to cover the lighterage, but denied their liability for the remainder. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiffs for £5l ls. 6d. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. The judges in this court were occupied the whole of th• morning in hearing the arguments in a very complicated enclosure case. The question involved was whether Lord Portsmouth had the power to enclose 300 acres of land of Anstey Manor, contrary to the wish of a gentleman named Mr. Partridge, who had an interest therein. THE BONAP.ARTE FAMILY. A most interesting case will come before the Tri bunal of First Instance at Paris on the 25th of the present month. Madame Bonaparte, first - wife of the late Prince Jerome Bonaparte, ex-King of Westphalia and uncle of the Emperor Napoleon, and her son by her marriage with the Prince, claim to inherit their part of the personal property left by the Prince. Madame Bonaparte, who I believe is now in Paris, was, aS you are aware, an American lady named Paterson, and the real object of the present suit is to re-establish the perfect legality of her marriage. "By attempts renewed during the last few years," says the printed memoir drawn up by Madame Bonaparte's legal advisers, M. Berryer, advocate, and M. Legrand, avoue, " By means of writings recently published it has been tried to annul the character and vitlidity of the most solemn acts, in spite of the sanction they have received and the positive prescriptions of our laws. The best established facts have been denied or misrepresented, and an attempt will be made before the Tribunal to cause the illegal acts of arbitrary power, and the opinions servilely repeated by men without any judicial authority,* to prevail over the fundamental principles of law and of social order " A short sketch of the early career of Jerome Bonaparte is then given. He entered the naval service in 1803—his brother, the future Emperor, being then lirst Consul—and proceeded from Mar tinique on board of a merchant vessel to the United States. If he were born, as stated, in 1784, he would then have been only 19 years of age ; but from a communication of General Smith, uncle of Miss Paterson, his commission as officer showed him to have been 22. He was introduced in the month of May to the family of Mr. Paterson, " one of the richest and most respectable citizens of Maryland." Jerome became enamoured of Mr. Paterson's daughter, and after some time proposed marriage. After due inquiry as to whether any difficulties, legal or otherwise, existed, the suitor was accepted. Jerome announced to his family in France his approaching marriage. The French Charge d'Affaires to the United States communicated to his Government the particulars of the negotiation, and the despatches containing them are still in the archives of the French Foreign-office. The cere mony took place with great solemnity at Balti more, on the 24th of December, 1803, and the con trat de maniage was signed by Jerome, his wife, and his wife's father; and witnessed by Mr. J. Carrol, of Baltimore, by the V ice-Consul of France, by M. de Camus, a French citizen, afterwards Minister of Foreign Affairs in Westphalia; and by Commodore Barney, of the United States' navy. The ceremony was performed by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Baltimore, who delivered the following certificate : "Baltimore, Dec. 24, 1803. • "-With licence, I this day united in the holy bonds of marriage, is conformity with the rites of the Holy Catholic Church, Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the First Consul of France, with Elizabeth Paterson, daughter of William Paterson, Esq., of the City of Baltimore, and of Dorcas Spear, his wife. "t Y., Bishop of BALTIMORE." This certificate was verified by the French Vice- Consul, Henry Vernet. " Such were the solemnities of the marriage of M. Jerome Bonaparte with Miss Paterson," observes the memoir. " No opposition was sent from France, when the projected union bad been known many months before. The whole year 1804 passed over without protest, or any sign of discontent disturbing the quiet and honour of the Paterson family, or troubling the happiness and mutual affection of the young couple." It was only when the First Consul became Em peror, and " when he was preparing for his family the distribution of so many Royal and sudden grandeurs to impose respect and dread of his power on the Sovereigns of Europe," that the marriage of his brother Jerome appeared, in the words of M. Thiers, "opposed in the last degree to his political designs." The Emperor compelled his mother, Madame Letizia, to sign a protest against her son's marriage, as being contracted without her consent previously obtained, and the Emperor Eimself issued a decree forbidding it to be entered in the register of the offices of State. The memoir shows at some length that all this was of no effect towards annulling the marriage. Meantime Jerome Bonaparte and his young wife left the United States for Europe. They landed at Lisbon. Jerome proceeded to meet his brother, and sent his wife on to Holland, where she was to wait for him. He left Lisbon on the sth of April, 1805, and it was the last time she saw her husband. Several letters from Jerome to his wife are given in the memoir, all breathing the warmest affection, and expressive of the most unshaken fidelity. On the 6th of May, 1805, the Emperor wrote thus to his brother : "Your union with Miss Paterson is null in the eyes of religion and the law. Write to Miss Paterson to return to America. I shall give her a pension of 60,000 f. on con dition that in no case shall she bear my name, to which she has no right, by reason of the non-existence of the union. Inform her, of yourself, that you have not been able, and that you cannot, change the nature of things." The " nature of things" which Jerome could not change was the elevation of the Bonaparte family to the rank of sovereign families, but of recent date, and subsequent to the marriage. The Emperor addressed at the same time similar injunctions to his brother Lucien (afterwards Prince of Canino), " whose marriage, contracted with Madame Jouberton some years previously, seemed also disfigured by the same mesalliance in the ayes of the triumphant man who had just added to the title of Emperor of the French that of King of Italy." Lucien received a letter, declaring that " Madame Lucien would never be recognised by the Emperor, because her son might be called to in herit the throne, and the Emperor owed it to the dignity of his crown not to expose this immense inheritance to the issue of a marriage contracted against his will." Lucien was not the man his brother took him for; to his threats he answered as follows : " You conclude by tracing out for me the line of conduct I ought to pursue—viz., to destroy the contract which has united us for the last three years—to bring back to Paris my wife changed into a concubine ; to separate my daughters from their mother, who have found in her their parent ; to acknowledge my two children illegitimate. And you call that a simple proceeding 1 And you think that after having divided a poor family, dishonoured my wife, disinherited my children—that after having deprived them of their name and their position, which is no longer mine, but theirs, I should find compensation for so much baseness in the graces and favours which you say would enable my illegi timate children to live honoured and happy ! Sir, I respect in you the organ of the Emperor. Know, however, that rather than descend to such infamy I would immolate my son and my daughter with my own hand. . . . More over—l am again writing to his Majesty—excepting the sacrifice demanded of me, I am ready to make all others that may be thought useful to France. My dignities belong to the Emperor. The choice of the place of my retreat be longs to him. When he commands me to change it I will obey without a murmur ; if ho requires it I will quit Europe, but I will not quit my wife and children except with my life,. " Pesaro, May 25, 1805. " LUCIEN BONAPARTE." Lucien refused to separate from his wife ; she survived him, and their affection remained unal tered to the last. Meantime Madame Jerome Bonaparte continued to receive from her husband the same affectionate letters as before. The Emperor next addressed himself to the Pope (Pius VII.) and demanded a bull annulling the marriage of his brother Jerome. He descended to wilful mis-statements of the case. For instance, he said that Jerome had been only one month in America when he married; whereas he arrived in May, and married on the 24th December. He alleged scruples of conscience, on the ground that Miss Paterson was a Protestant ; " and," he said, " it was important to France that a Protestant girl should not be near the Emperor;' whereas, the Princess of Wurtemberg, whom Jerome afterwarde married, at the instance of his brother, was a Pro testant. The Pope refused to annul the ,marriage. "' If we usurped an authority,' he said, wl'tich we do not possess, we should become guilty of a most aOominable abuse before God's tribunal and the whole C hurch ; and your Majesty, in your justice, would not wish us to pro nounce a judgment contrary to the testimony of of Zr con science and the invariable principles of the Church. Again an attempt was made to extort the bull, and again the Pope refused. Madame Jerome Bonaparte, who was ignorant of what was going on against her, proceeded to Ens- • This alludes to what is called the Conseil de Emilie . the members of which, according to the memoi r , were MM. Abbatucci, Fould, Tr *long, de Meru, 13 ar o e h e , a n d General Ornane. 7 '!'' — "arnemlOw'; land, and there, on the 7th of July, 1805, gave birth to a son, the party to the present suit. Certificates of his birth and baptism are all given in fell in the memoir. Madame Bonaparte remained in London until November, 1805, where she continued to receive the same affectionate letters from her hus band. But *she grew tired of the solitude in which she was left, and, finding her position embarrassing, she resolved to return to America, which she did in November, 1805. Not long after this the letters of Jerome to his wife became less affectionate. The memoir explains this change:— " Since the Treaty of Peace of Presburg the Electro, Duke of Wurtemberg, had obtained with the title of King considerable territorial a:grandisement, and the hand of his daughter, now become Princess Royal, was already destined for the youngest of his (the Emperor's) youngest brothers. Was Jerome ignorant of these projects when on the 20th of Juze, 1806, he wrote from Martinique to his wife a letter reproaching her for having left Holland ?" This letter was of evil omen. The reproach of having left Holland was most unjust on the part of one who, having brought his wife from the United States to Europe, had abandoned her at Lisbon ; had told her to repair to Amsterdam; and soon after ordered her to return to America. On the 17th of July, 1806, he addressed his last letter to " Madame Bonaparte, at Baltimore ;" it made no announce ment of the project of his brother; it contained commonplace compliments, and consisted of four or five lines. On the Ist of June, 1806, an act was prepared which the memoir describes as " a melancholy monument of the vices engendered by the servile weakness and the guilty condescension of ecclesi astical authorities to the exactions of a Govern ment. This was a sentence issued by the Arch bishop of,Paris annulling the marriage of Jerome with Miss Paterson, an act which the head of the Church to which the Archbishop belonged had previously and repeatedly resisted as illegal and opposed to the dogmas of the Church. The Arch bishop had the baseness to declare " that there was no marriage contracted between the minor Jerome and Elizabeth Paterson ; that the alleged marriage was null and clandestine, having taken place with out the publication of banns, without the consent of the minor's mother, from which there resulted a presumable rapt de seduction, without the presence of a proper priest,* in a foreign country, &c." The Emperor having at last persuaded the King of Wurtemberg and the Emperor of Russia that his brother was free to contract a new union, Jerome was married on the 12th of August, 1807, to the Princess Frederica Catherine of Wurtemberg, and in December of the same year was proclaimed King of Westphalia. In May, 1808, Jerome sent a person to the United States to claim his son and bring him to France. From the letter which he wrote to his father-in-law, Mr. Paterson, it appeared what little value he set on the acts which annulled his Ameri can marriage. In it he spoke of giving his son the position " suitable to his birth and rank ;" bringing him up in the rank which belongs to him, he should thus diminish the grief he felt at being far from <his mother, and repair all the evil which the great political interests he was bound to respect had done us," &c. In a letter to his wife of the same date he says he " counts upon a more happy future," and "nothing will ever make me forget the bonds which unite me to you, and the tender attachment which I have vowed to you for life." Madame Bonaparte refised to part with her child. Another long letter is given, dated Cassel, the 22d November, 1808, from Jerome, now King of Westphalia, to his American wife, in which he pro poses to give her for her residence and that of his son " a noble palace, comfortable and in every respect worthy of you, at Smalcalden, about 30 leagues from Cassel," and also " the title of Prince and Princess of Smalcalden, for you and your son, with a yearly revenue of 200,000 francs." He also wrote to his son, who was then only three years old. Madame Bonaparte refused to answer hi 3 letters, and rejected his offers. Three years passed without any further corre spondence. In Februay, 1812, Jerome again wrote to his wife and son, and assured the farmer that " sooner or later all would be arranged." Un changed by the assurance "that all would be ar ranged sooner or later," Madame Bonaparte treated his letters in the same manner; she refused to answer them. But the next step she took was to demand from the tribunals of her own country a divorce from the husband who had abandoned and repudiated her. She was divorced a vincula matri mond in January, 1813, by an act passed in the House of Representatives and Senate of Maryland, "reserving her own rights and those of her son." In 1819 she came to Europe, and was received with much cordiality by the members of her hus band's family. Joseph, the elder brother of the Emperor, proposed to give ,his daughter in mar riage to Madame Bonaparte's son. The Princess Catherine of Wurtemberg and Madame Letizia, the mother of the Emperor, highly approved the project. Many letters are given in the memoir from the various members of the Bonaparte family, all couched in affectionate terms, and all recognising the relationship of Madame Bonaparte and her son, as if nothing had occurred. The marriage did not take place with his cousin, the daughter of Joseph. M. Jerome Bonaparte visited Italy in 1827, and was received in the same affectionate manner by his grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins, as proved by the ample correspondence contained in the memoir. He returned to America and married in 1829. He received letters of congratulation from all his relations. Madame Letizia, his grand mother, wrote thus : _ _ _ "Nov. 10, 1829. "My dear Son,—l have heard with pleasure of your marriage, as the person you have chosen possesses all the ad vantage 3 one could desire. I earnestly pray that you may be happy in the union you contract, and if my blessing can contribute to it it will be complete and lasting. I beg of you to present my affectionate wishes to your betrothed, thomgh I have not the pleasure of knowing her. Your father is still in the country ; he will not return before the 15th. He is well, as also your brother and your sister (the present Prince Napoleon and Princess Mathilde), I em brace you tenderly. " Your affectionate mother, " MADAME." Similar letters of congratulation were addressed to M. Jerome Bonaparte on the birth of a son in 1831. The Princess Mathilde, daughter of the ex-King of Westphalia, was married in 1840 to M. Anatole Demidoff. Her brother, Prince Napoleon, lost no time in informing M. Jerome Bonaparte of the event, and he concludes in these words : " I embrace you, dear Jerome, as also your wife and child, and I am for life your devoted brother and friend, " NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." M. Demidoff also informed him of his marriage with his sister, the Princess Mathilde; the wife of Joseph, ex-King of Spain (then known as Count de Survilliers) did the same; and the Princess Mathilde herself wrote as follows : " Nov. 17, 1840. :My dear Brother,—l believe you will learn with all the interest of a sincere friendship the conclusion of my mar- riage. " My new condition realizes all the hopes which I had anticipated. But, while lam happy, lam not the less at tached to all the affectionate sentiments which I professed affections .

Wh e n Prince Louis Napoleon 'went to America after the " affair" of Strasburg, M. Jerome Bonaparte offered him his house as a residence. The Prince (the present Emperor) replied : •' My dear Cousin,—li a month I begin my journey to the interior. The first thing I mean to do is to pay you a visit. I remember with pleasure the time we pa sse d together at Rome and Florence. " Farewell, my dear cousin; receive the assurance of my friendship, " LOUIS NAPOLEON BONAPARTE."

The proceedings in this court were devoid of public in terest.

POLICE IN7BLLIGE'NCE—(27Iis Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. REFUSAL TO MAINTAIN A WIFE.—ALLEGED ADUL TERY.—John. Castelli, of 31, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Beadon, by the parish authorities of St. James's, with refusing to maintain his wife, and leaving her charge able to the said parish. Mrs. Rosa Castelli said she was the wife of the defend ant, who had left her on the 4th of October last, since - which time, till a week ago, she bad been in St. James's Workhouse, the defendant only giving her £1 us. during that time. Mr. Tett, one of the parish officers, said several attempts had been side to find him, and it was only on the previous night that die warrant was served on him in Aldgate. The defenilant said his wife was false. Mr. Tett said there was a case depending in the Divorce Court. Mr. Beadon said that was a good reason why he should not interfere. Mr. Tett said he thought the proceedings there would not interfere with those in the police court. Mr. Beaion said he was not going to decide in such a case. The question was what was the nature of the case before the superior court. Mr. Tett said they had no grounds for supposing the charge against the wife was true. Mr. Beadon said, here was a man who had taken expen sive proceedings in another court, and they could not ex pect him to try a case that was now before Sir Cresswell Cresswell. They could not, before that case was dismissed by the judge, ask to commit the defendant. Mr. Tett said he understood Mr. Lewis, of the Albany court-yard, was the defendant's solicitor, and had the con duct of the proceedings in the Divorce Court. The wife said the proceedings there were stopped—there were no witnesses. Mr. Beadon said the thing was, was the case set down for regular hearing. Mr. Tett said he believed the defendant's brother was paying the expenses, and that he lived in Regent-street. The defendant hal married the female with the full con viction that 4ikehad a child at the time, and the female had had one since her marriage to the defendant. She was at the time in business as an eating-house keeper. Mr. Beadon said if the defendant set up adultery, and that was the only thing that he could set up for refusing to maintain his wife, and the judge dismissed the case, he (the magistrate) would have to try the case. The only thing was was the proceeding in that court merely for putting off the evil day, or was it honest. He was sorry the summons had been taken out for refusing to maintain his wife. It should have been for desertion, as 110 was not in a position to be capable of supporting her. It was a clear case of desertion. The case was ultimately disposed of by the defendant agreeing to allow his wife 7s. a week, the parish consent ing, till the settlement of the case before the Divorce Court. THAMES. SCANDALOUS ROBBERY OF A SOLDIER.—John Ander son, aged 33, and John Simpson, aged 35, porters, who have been long known in Southwark, were brought before Mr. Yardley, on remand, charged with stealing a port manteau, containing a pair of trousers, a pair of boots, a shell jacket, two razors, a knife, shirt, towel, and various other articles, value £5, the property of Robert Jackson, a soldier attached to the 15th Brigade of Royal Artillery, stationed at Gosport. Three police constables have been since Monday endea vouring to recover the soldier's portmanteau and its con tents, but have been unsuccessful. This is one of many similar robberies committed by fellows prowling about the railway stations, and who proffer to carry the baggage of soldiers, sailors, and others, directly they arrive in London. The prosecutor Jackson came to London from Gosport, by the South-Western Railway, on Monday morning last, and directly afterwards went into a public-house near the railway station to obtain change for a £5 note. He was unable to procure it, and was in the act of leaving the house when the prisoners, who are both Scotchmen, offered their services, and on learning that Jackson was about to pro ceed to Aberdeen by the steamer, said they would carry his luggage, obtain change for his £5 note, and take him to a wharf from which the steamboat was to depart. The prisoners took the soldier and one of his comrades to seve ral publichouses, plied them well with liquor at the expense of Jackson, and procured change for the note at the Mint Coffee-house. They then proceeded to the Dublin Steam wharf, Lower East Smithfield, to make inquiries about the Aberdeen steamer, and while the soldiers were talking to Anderson the prisoner put Jackson's portmanteau on hie shoulder and walked away with it. Jackson and his com rade continued near the wharf talking to Anderson for some time in expectation that Simpson, after depositing the portmanteau in a place of safety wanted to return to the wharf. He did not do so, and Anderson soon after wards slipped away. The prisoner too was advised to give information at the Southwark police station, Stones-end, and while he was doing so, Simpson made his appearance, and asked the soldier how he got on. Jackson replied, very badly, and asked the prisoner what had become of his portmanteau ? The question was repeated several times, but the prisoner would not give a satisfactory answer. Simpson was then given into custody, and on being searched by Jarrord, a police constable, No. 61 M, a knife belonging to Jackson was found in his pocket. The knife was in the portmanteau which was locked when the prisoner took it up and placed it on his shoulder. Anderson was afterwards taken into custody. Nothing was found upon him. Mr. Yardley discharged Anderson, and committed Simp son for trial. Ho awarded Jackson £2 from the poor-box, being the extent of his loss. will of the people as expressed by' universal suf frage." The Emperor replied : " My Cousin,—Notwithstanding the distance, and a very long separation, I have never doubted the heartfelt interest with which you follvwed all the chances of my destiny. I have felt great pleasure in the letter which br gs me your congratulations. I thank you for them. The news ycu give me of the vocation of your son for the military career, and of his entering a regiment of Carabineers, has not been less agreeable to me. When circumstances permit I shall be, believe me, most happy to see you. Whereupon, my cousin,. I pray God to have yon in his holy keeping.— Written - at the Palace of the Tuileries, Feb. 9, 1853. "NAPOLEON." M. Bonaparte came to France in June, 1854. On his arrival in Paris he received, through the Mini ster of State, an invitation to dine at St. Cloud, where the Court then was. The invitation was ad dressed to Prince Jerome. The moment he entered. the Palace the Emperor handed him a declaration, drawn up by M. Abbatucci, Minister of Justice, M. Troplong, President of the Senate, and M. Baroche, , President of the Council of State, setting forth that "M. Jerome Bonaparte is to be considered in France as legitimate ;" that " he is French by birth, and, if he has lost the character, a decree can restore it to him in virtue of the 18th clause of the Civil Code." In a short time M. Bonaparte perceived that his presence in Paris and the kindness of the Emperor towards him excited certain diicontent elsewhere. He informed the Emperor of the fact, and received from his Majesty the following letter : "Mr dear Cousin,---I have received your two letters. I had already received one from my uncle .Jerome, who told me that he would never consent to yourremaining in France. I replied, that as the French laws recognize you as legi timate, I could not do otherwise than acknowledge you as a relation, and that if your position in Paris was embarassing it was for you alone to judge of that—that Napoleon, if he conducted himself well, had nothing to apprehend from family revelations, &c. You must, with out irritating your f a th er , con ti nue t o f o ll ow the course which you have proposed to yourself. I will write to-mor row to Fould about the arrangements we agreed on. " Compliments to Jerome, and believe in my sincere friendship. "NAPOLEON." On the 17th of April, 1855, M. Bonaparte, being then at Baltimore, received from M. Fould,..Minis ter of State, a letter announcing to him that on his return to France he was to assume the title of Duke de Sartene (a town in Corsica), "to put an end to difficulties which you are aware of;" and also that it was the Emperor's intention that his son should bear the title of " Count de Sartene." This proposition was rejected. Prince Napoleon and his sister, the Princess Mathilde, then demanded of the Emperor and the Conseil de Famine, that "M M. Paterson (Mr. Jerome Bonaparte and his son) should not exercise any of the rights which belong exclusively to the legitimate issue, and that consequently M. Jerome Paterson and his descendants should be prohibited from bearing the name of Bonaparte." The Con seil de Famine decided in favour of their bearing the name of Bonaparte, but decided illegally, as the memoir maintains, that they should not have the right to avail themselves of the benefit of the 201st and 202 d articles of the lode Napoleon relating to succession. The Conseil de Fan2ille was composed of MM. Abbatucci, Fould, Troplong, De Morey, Baroche, and Orrano. The point is argued at some length in the memoir. On the 10th of November, 1855, Marshal Pelis sier, at his head -quarters before Sebastopol, named " M. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte" lieutenant in the 7th Dragoons, Knight of the Legion of Hon our. This nomination was confirmed on the 24th of the same month. But on the 13th of June, 1856, a letter of permission to wear the decoration of the Medjidie of Turkey was addressed to M. Bonaparte, jun., as M. Bonaparte Paterson." This permission, granted to him under a name which was not YE; proper designation, was not accepted. At the same time, the proposition of the Duchy of Sartene was renewed to M. Bonaparte, the father. Under these circumstances the latter addressed the following letter to the Emperor, dated July 25, 1856 : " Sire,—l received the enclosed from my son a few days ago. I kept it to reflect on its contents before I should send it to your Majesty. It breathes the sentiments of honour in which my son was brcught up, and I pray your Majesty to grant his request. It is no real dishonour to a man to be born a bastard and in accepting the consequences. Had I been in that category I should have long since accepted, with gratitude, the offers which which your Majesty con descended to make me. But as I was legitimately born— and as I have always been acknowledged as such by my family, by the laws of all countries, and by the whole world, it would be the extreme of baseness and dishonour on my part to accept a brevet of bastardy. I did not raise the ques tion, neither do I fear it. And if the family council (eon sell de famille) has rendered an illegal and unjust decision, it at least stopped short of depriving me of the name I bore from my birth to the 50th year of my age, without its ever having been contested. " The object and the victim of intrigues, calumnies, and falsehoods, it only remains for me, Sire, to repeat the prayer I addressed to your Majesty in my letter of the 20th of March, to go with my son and wait in exile that justice which I am convinced Heaven reserves for me, sooner or later, and to request that your Majesty will be pleased to ("Tent me an audience to take your orders for the future. b "J. N. BONAPARTE," The memorial concludes by praying the tribune to order that an inventory be taken of the property left by his Imperial Highness Prince Jerome, and that a partition be made of it : " On this demand, which must be admitted in any case, M. Bonaparte will be able to maintain the legitimacy of his filiation and to repel any exception on the ground that the affair has been already decided, which might be pleaded. As for Madame Elizabeth Paterson, who has taken no part in anything that has passed since the birth of her son, and against whom to this day no direct attack has ever been attempted, with whom it cannot be alleged that any deci sion, legal or not, has been pronounced, she will vindicate the honour of her maternity, she will prove the validity of her marriage, and she will claim all the rights which accrue to her from the contract which preceded it. Now that there is an interest created and present in the discus sion, and for the trial of the questions which this great cause may give rise to, French magistrates holding the code of laws in their hauls, and maintaining all the dignity of their independence, will not make the holy authority of marriage, and the sacred and legitimate rights of a family, established for more than half a century, give way to the ephemeral necessities of policy, or to the arbitrary and capricious desires of absolute power, or to the We'd complacency of its servants. " BERRYER, Advocate. " M. LEGRAND, Aveue." It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this case, for on the decision of the tribunals will depend the legality of the first, or of the second marriage.
