the period libelled,

the Sheriff defective; and it appeared that the de-

had not. male it till after a new year had begun
to ran, and had received the publication, not only
during the period run, but afterwards. The Sheriff
accordingly seemed to consider that in the case of a

CURIOUS LAWSUIT IN PARIS.—Some trials are allowed
go the rounds of publicity, and one has just come off
before the Tribunal Civil de la Seine which is sure to get
.......European circulation. It is a case of a lady's foot. A
Tv allachian young widow came to get amputation of the
lankle joint done at Paris, and an orthopedic machinist
Tst September made her an artificial foot at the price of
in:96sE4so serviceable, that she could visit the theatres.
'Q4lll'lg changed her apartment, the people whom she left,
1 spite, spread a rumour that she was about quitting
ats without paying her creditors ; whereon the ortho-
edist, alarmed, called at her new abode and possessed
tilaself of the foot, without which he calculated there was
I°,locomotion possible. The lady simply called in the
of 'another 'former, and, got as good and much
cheaper an article to step on ; and when sued in payment
5 the original underitanding, pleaded its abstraction by
Che maker without her consent, and to her incovenience,
"gelling her to get a fresh foot elsewhere. The court
condemned therwant of gallantry, as well as the insulting
clady onduct of thd e‘ footman," aiid exonerated the Wallachian
teal, fr°lll the claim. Two other incidents came out at the
0, which complete the tragi-comedy. Feeling nervous
o4nit'er imputation, the fair' Wallachian had required an
preaullensis for her correspondence - and this secretary
vile,ated her with an elegy_ (L. E. G.) on the loss— for
juoeell he had the impudence to-summon-her before the
!rah!! paix payment of 100 f.; -while the foot itself,
mue t!lrany order from her, had been carried off for in:
rit at-Pere laThaise, involving the cost of the ground
