of which U. Matins would set be gaily; and that be lad
learnt, within the few previous days, that, some years ago,
this Greek had endeavoured to gm Umeslf presented, under
the menmed tint el must, to the Lord High Commissioner
of the is khaki ; but the imposters being detected he
was obliged to peen wtth his highness as M. Mataxa. Chel-
tenhase, however, was • long way from Greece, and
no one there had as tattiest is inquiring into
the matter. Bat it was a different thing when
the count sought to be presented at court of Queen
Vittoria. It then became the duty of the Akers of the
Dnrd Chamberlain to inquire into the matter, and what he
(Mr. Stephens) bad to say, he thought it his duty to say, as
the son of a British officer who bad laid down his Ilte in
the service of hie snowy. He concluded his letter by say-
ing that he was happy that the sours* he bad taken had
ant with the approval of Mr. Granville Hughes, and he
hoped it would oleo be approved of by all honourable men.
In his affidavit, the count denied all the insinuations con-
tained in the libel. He also dimmed that Ise was born at C.
phalenia, that he was the ma of Sporittioni Matins
and Ansolsta, that he was related to the Count
Andrea listars, recently a minister of the Xing of Greece,
that he was descended from a distinguished military com-
mander named Angelo Matsu, who, for his services, was
in 1691, created by the mats of Venice, a count. The title
being conferred upon him and his male deseiksdants in per-
petuity. He also deprued that be was a legitimate male
descendant of that perms. By • decree of the states of the
lonian Islaeds, this title was me maned is 1941, to be in
the count and his two brothers. In 1934 the count Wag pre-
sented as Count Mistime, to his late Majesty, by the
then Colonial Secretary, and was afterwards by
that title invited to the palace. lie had also
bad the honour of dining with the Duchess of Kent,
and. subeequently to that, he and the countess had had the
high honour of visiting her Majesty. He had sines been in-
troduced by our ambassador to the late King of the French,
sad to the King of the Belgians. lie also relied upon •
letter received by him from the late King of Holland, when
Prince of Orange, showing the footing on which he stood
with that personme. Relying upon these facts, he (Sir F.
Thesiger) contended that he bad established enough to en•
title him to his rule; but he felt bound not to conceal from
the court that a correspondence had taken place between the
count and Mr. Stephens, in which the former had used irri-
tating language. The learned counsel proceeded to read the
correspondence, in order that it might be at once before she
court, and then contended that the count bad not, by the
language used, &vie( d himself of his right to the interfer-
ence of the court, seeing that the libel affected not only his
personal character, but also the interests of his Lindy.—
