BREACU of PROMISE.--It is rare in France for
actions for breach of promise of marriage to be brought. A
short time ago, however, one was submitted to the Civil
Tribunal of Versailles. The plaintiff was Mdlle. Lefebvre;
the defendant a tit. Tenturier, employe of an agent de
change; and she demam:ed 60,000 francs damages.
The facts of the case were not very interesting:
the defendant, who is much older than the plaintiff,
having accidentally formed her acquaintance, made her his
mistress, and lived with her for several years. In January,
1850, he gave her in writing a promise of marriage, and
pledged himself to give her half his fortune in the event of
his breaking it. Some time after he inherited 200,000 f.
from his aunt, and he then broke off with the plaintiff.
In defence, it was pleaded that the promise was null
in I hw, and that the defendant had put an end to
the connexion, because the plaintiff's demands for money
were too numerous. because her character was not like his,
and because she had not been faithful to him. The Tribunal
declared that the promise was legally null, inasmuch as it
tended "to violate the liberty of marriage." It accordingly
dismissed the demand, and condemned the plaintiff to the'
costs. Yesterday she appealed to the Court of Appeal,,ana
the case was argued on both sides at great length. But the
judgment was condrmed...Galignant.
