THE LAW OF LANDLORD AND TENANT IN
FRANCE.—The Civil Tribunal of the Seine was yesterday
engaged in a case in which M. Richard, the head of a large
carpenter's establishment, was plaintiff. He had, it ap-
peared, rented of M. Digeon, in the Avenue de la Sante, a
house and some ground for his business, and had erected a
building on it at the expense of 30,000 f. In the course of the
present year the ground under his workshops :had sunk so
considerably as to endanger the lives of the men employed,
owing to the premises being situated over the Catacombs.
He consequently applied to the Court to order that M.
Digeon should be compelled to pay the expenses of
properly securing the premises from further injury. He
also objected to allowing M. Digeon to carry on the neces-
sary repairs himself, but prayed that, in case the Court con-
sented to the application, M. Digeon should be bound to
deposit 25,000 f. as a security for the good and proper execu-
tion of the works of consolidation. M. Digeon, in reply,
contended that M. Richard's action was merely brought for
the purpose of avoiding the payment of his rent; that
the danger complained of was owing to M. Richard's own
act in transforming part of the ground rented into a regular
receptacle for heavy rubbish; and, lastly, that the action
was vexatious and without sufficient motive, since the
repairs which must be executed in the Catacombs could
not be effected except under the immediate direction
of the ciiy architect. The Tribunal, taking that view of
the case, rejected the demand of the deposit, and authorised
M. Digeon to proceed with the repairs under the direction
of the proper architect.

[ADVERTISEMENT .1 —llolloWay' B Ointment and Pills.—
One Hope yet Remains.—ll long owevercontinued their
disease, however severe their sufferings, let no invalid
despair o f being cured till these potent remedies have had
a fair trial. The one or other invariably succeeds. Both
Ointment :and Pills operate by purifying and regulating
every function. These qualities advantageously display
themselves in various diseases which differ in several par-
ticulars. The Ointment speedily removes all outward
blemishes. The Pills improve the digestion, and promote
the formation of healthy bile so essential to :digestion,
cheerfulness, and vigour. In cases of obstinate costiveness
no purgative can be prescribed so well calculated to pro-
duce the desired effect. They relax the bile ducts, and
liberate the natural aperient of the system.
