CURIOUS LAW CAsE-There was a strange
case in law decided by the Surrogate, A. w
Bradford, yesterday. Henry Eagle, at his de.
cease, willed to his son William certain prop
erty, providing said son, who had been away
and NOT heard from for five or six years, was
then living Seven years have elapsed since
William Eagle was heard of; the law consid-
ers him dead. William, before going away,
bequeathed all his property to brother. This
brother now claims the bequest made to Will
liam by the father. If William was alive at
the time lis father made the will, of course
his heir or brother has a legal claim to the
bequeathed, but not if he was dead.
The law considers the absentee dead at the
end of seven years but does it hold him to
be alive till the end of that time The Sur
rogate decided that the law assumes him to
be living until the last day of the seven years
has elapsed, and that it requires positive evil
dence to establish his death before that time.
In his decision the Surrogate reviewed the
law upon the point, from Justinian down to
our own courts, and developed some interest
ing facts on so critical and technical point.

A SACRIFICE FOR PRINCIPLE.-The Journal
de Francfort relates the following improbable
story:
A few days since a foreigner presented him.
self at the office of merchant at Hamburg to
receive cash fsr bill of 1000 double Louis,
and received 10000 francs too much. He did
not perceive the mistake until he had reached
his hotel, when he returned to the office and
mentioned the fact The merchant looked at
him and then said,
sit is impossible"
The foreigner persisted, and said
"Your cashier has certainly made mis-
take"
THAT is not possible" replied the merchant
in decided tone. "Take your money-no
mistakes are ever made at my office"
The stranger then pocketed the money and
left the place, when the merchant, turning to
mis- bookkeeper, told him to enter 10000
francs to the account of profit and loss, adding
that the cashier would never hear word of
reproach from him on the subject, but that he
would not allow any one to imagine that a
mistake could occur in his Office.
