Charles Tristram Count de Montholn,
executor of the last will of Bonaparte,
plaintiff, Jacques LATTE, defendant
Mr.. F. Pollock, counsel for the plain
tiff, stated that the plaintiff was the ex-
ecutor of the last will of Bonaparte;
and the defendant had been Bona
parties banker in Paris, with whom he
was in the habit of lodging considera-
BILE sums of money, previous to his
quitting france in 1915 When Bona
parte left France in that year, he took
with him documents from the defen-
dant, which showed the amount Of the
money then in the defendants hands be-
longing to Bonaparte. These docu-
ments it would not be necessary now
to produce; but an account, the result
of them, and declaration of the de-
PENDANTS admitting its correctness,
and that the balance, equal to ll2e,422
IS. ID. remained in his hands, would
be proved, which would entitle the
plaintiff to verdict for that sum. 1t
would be unnecessary TO prove the will
of Bonaparte, as the defendant, by al
lowing Judgment to go by default, adj
mitted that the plaintiff was his execu-
| tor.
The Hon. Douglass Kinnard stated
that he was acquainted with the defen-
dant's handwriting; he had seen him
write, and was in the habit of seeing
his writing every week; the signature
to the account and declaration produc-
ed were in the defendants hand writ
ing. MIR. John Allan Powell produced
translated copies of the account and
declaration proved by Mr.. Kinniard.-
The balance due to Bonaparte on the
account was 3,24s, 500 francs. The dec
laration stated, that the defendant held
that sum on account of Bonaparte,
and was dated January Is, 1925. Ma
jor Miller stated, that he knew the de-
PENDANT, and had lately seen him in Pa
ris, at which time he (the defendant
read the declaration now produced, and

From the Genius of Libertu.

AT "a meeting of the citizens of Lees
burg and its vicinity, held at the court
house on Saturday, the 10Th instant, in
consequence of a notice for that pur-
pose given by the mayor and common
council-RIcHARD II. HENDERsoN,esq.
was appointed chairman, and CHAs.
G. EsKRiDGE, Esq. secretary.
RESOLVED, Thatit is an object of great inter-
est to the state of Virginia, aid of still great
er magnitude to the United States, that the
artificial road already constructed between the
town of Wheeling on the river Ohio, and
Cumberland on the Potomac, should be ex-
tended from some suitable point thereon, east
Of the Allegheny mountain, towards the City
Of Washington, so as to reduce as far as prac-
ticable the distance of the metropolis of the
union from the western states, and to connect
thereby the tide of the Atlantic with the ma
vigable waters of the west, in conformity to
the spirit of the several acts of congress for
the admission of the states of the north west
ern territory into the union.
RESOLVED, That for the promotion of the OBJ
iect recommended by the preceding resolu-
ton, the chairman of this meeting, William
T. T. Mason, William l.. Powell, Samuel NJ.
Edwards, and Burr w. Harrison, be appoint
ed a committee on behalf of the town Of Lees
burg, and county of Loudoun, to correspond
and to cooperate with such committee as are,
ormay be appointed on the part of the other
towns and counties of the commonwealth,
which may feel peculiar interest therein.
Resolre6, That the said committee be re-
quested to cause the preceding resolutions to
be inserted in the newspapers printed in this
town, and copies thereof to be forwarded to
the corporations or trustees Of the towns Of
Winchester, Charlestown, Bath, Romney,
and Frankfort, and to the clerks of the coun-
