PRINCE AI.8ERT's RIGHTS.
We have already seated (says a Gotha letter Of
Sept 10) that in the sitting Of the chamber of de-
puties very important question was brought to q
close. The question and details are as follows:-
The late duke had bequeathed to his sons. the pre-
sent reigping duke, and Prince Albert of England,
the sum of 81. 900 forms annually, revenues
arising from royal domains .
This bequ.st was made in 1886, and was carried
nttttl Nka n.a GtA1ox arrsf
continuing the annuity. Prince Albert accordingly
instituted proceedings against the diet, which had
refused the grant the ground that the crown do
mans being the property of the reigniny prince as
such, and not as individual, he had no legal
right to assign or hequeath any revenues arising
from them to his successors, heirs, or any other
person The court, however, after minute inves-
tgation of the fundamental law as then existing,
empowered the duke to bequeath part Of the re-
venue to his two sons, and accordingly gave judg
ment that the country must pay Prince Albert 5O,-
OOO horiDs per annum as his legal right.
The minister Of state proposed as n CO npromise
that Prince Albert should abate 1000 forms per
annum of his claim, and that the chamber should
vote his royal highness 10000 forms. The debate
members insisted that tie regent had in no
the power Of the crown lands In his own hands, and
the present case being unprecedented, the accept.
ance thereof would be virtual acknowedgment OF
although it was an unprece dented case, and the
judgme mt passed the court might, therefore, be
considered dubious, 1t was. nevertheless, desirable
that this tedious point should at length be settled
and accordingly voted his royal highness Prince AL
bert 0,COO forms per annum.
BY this decision of the chambers the revenue of
the state which has to pay all arrears, is lessened
by million Of forms.
