Hesse-Darmstadt and its Lawyers.

A serious misunderstanding has arisen between
tbo assembly of German jurists and the Grand Duke
of Hesse-Darmstadt. It would appear that already
this year before the assembling of the lea►ned body
some differences arose respecting the receptio❑
which they would meet with from the Government
of Hesse-Darmstadt. Whilst in Dresden two years
since they were received by the King through the
medium of a royal commission ; whilst at Vienna in
the previous year an archduke was instructed by
the Emperor to receive them in a most cordial and
hospitable manner, the offer made by the Minister
of Justice of Hesse-Darmstadt to greet the council
in the name of the ruler of the country dots not
appear to Lave been considered suitable by them.
It would seem, however, that an understanding
was arrived at, and it was expected that on the
visit of the council of jurists to Darmstadt, where a
performance at the theatre had been arranged in
their honour, Prince Alexander of Hesse would re-
ceive them officially. This hope was not, however,
fu.filled, and hence arose an extraordinary scene,
and a painful state of feeling in all concerned. Ti3e
Frankfort Journal gives the following account of
the matter :

" A sad misunderstanding occurred at Darmstadt
on Thursday last. The council of jurists, who were
invited to visit the theatre by the Grand Duke, left
the house in a body. Prince Alexander wished to
receive the standing committee and the officials of
the assembly of jurists in the name of the Grand
Duke; but, as the train was a heavy one, it was
unavoidably delayed, and, unfortunately, there was
no attempt at any reception of tho deputation,
which represents the jurisprudence of entire Ger-
many. The gentlemen, therefore, proceeded to the
palace in groups, where, to their astonishment,
they found the doors closed, and a servant informed
them that the Prince was not at home, and that he
had awaited their arrival, but had felt himself
obliged to proceed to the opera to receive the princes
who had in the meantime arrived at the theatre.
This intelligence was circulated through the crowd
of lawyers as they proceeded to the theatre, while
many who had not been made aware of the circum-
stances had already arrived there. Of the Congress
of Princes, the following amongst other sovereigns
were present at the theatre :—The Kings of Bavaria
and Hanover, the Electoral Prince of Hesse, the
Duke of Nassau, and the Crown Prince of Wurtem-
burg. The news of the non-reception of the jurists
quickly became circulated throughout the house,
and immediately on the fall of the curtain at the
close of the first act, and as the princes were about
to retire from their seats to enjoy a promenade in
the lobby, a person arose and announced that as no
reception had been accorded to the permanent de-
putation they could not visit the house, and that on
this account the assembly of jurist's agreeing with
them would leave the theatre. This they did, and
the princes were left to face the empty benches.
Th© council of jurists soon reassembled at the
Casino, where they had ordered a supper to be pre-
pared after the termination of the performance;
and here they were joined by the ladies, who sided
with them in their secession movement. The ex-
citement here was very great until Privy Councillor
Wachter, the president of the council of jurists,
gave the explanation as stated above. It was also
communicated to the members that the Minister of
Justice, M. Lindelof, had given an explanation to
the effect that the prince awaited them at the
theatre, to receive them there instead of at the rail-
way station. The public feeling on the matter is
somewhat strong, and is increased by the circum-
stance that the tickets issued for the front row boxes
on Thursday evening were recalled, as the seats
were required by the Court for the accommodation
of the princes."
