A Curious Law Suit.

was greatly amused by the history Of
a law suit which was pending while was
at Alicant. A certain rich proprietor
having died about six months before,
left money to the church. sufficient to
purchase 10000 masses for his soul g
but after few Of these had been said,
the masses were discontinued, and the
process was brought by the heir to re-
cover the sum left for the masses, the
church having failed to fulfil the condit-
ion upon which the money was bequeath-
ed. The defence set up was sufficiently
Those upon whom the duty
ofsaying these masses devolved. willing
70 be excused fro N the labor, interceded
With the bishop, who inserceded with his
holiness the pope the defence against
the claim was the production Of the
Pope's letter, which declared, by his SOW
ereign authority, that the celebration of
tseelve masses should have the same eff
feet, and be as beneficial to the soul Of
the deceused as the celebration of tUelre
thousand masses. The decision upon the
case had not been given when | left Ali
cant but as it involved a question
touching the pope's spiritual power. the
probabilities are, that his holiness would
prove an overmatch for the heir. The
argument of the counsel in support of
claim was merely non-fulflment of the
stipulated duty {; while the argument for
the church was, that the deceased had
intended TO benefit his soul to a certain
extent. for which he left certain sum
Of money and that since his soul was
benefited to the same extent by the per.
formance of tpelpe as of tpelce thousand
masses, the intention of the deceased
was equally fulfilled, and the money,
equally the property of those
who fulfilled it. But this evidently
leaves room for rejoin9er, as to the
power and value of the pope's letter.

will be recollected that the inhabitants of Fall

weighty reasons had come to light-going to
prove that the REQ. Z. K Avery was not alto

I fancied that his own was absorbed by

Of vice. Which Of these no is, ! will
