FOREIGN CLAIMS UPON REBEL PROPERTY
case has been decided in the United States Court
at New Orleans, which is not only interesting in
itself, but is highly important a precedent
The notorious rebel envoy to France, John Sill
dell, left large amount of real estate in Louis
lana, which was of course liable to confscaton
For the purpose of saving this property, Slidel
apparently mortgaged it to the French banking
house of Macuard & Co. shortly after his arrival
in France, and this firm subsequently brought an
action for the recovery of the property under the
mortgage The has now been decided ad-
versely to the Slidell interest, the Court holding
that the mortga gees knew that Slidell was an
enemy of the United States that they took the
risk resulting from such knowledge, and that
their hopes of repayment were founded upon the
prospect of the success of the rebel States in
overthrowing the authority of the United States
Slidell therefore, loses all his valuable property
in Louisiana. and the clever dodge by which he
hoped to save it has proved abortive. 1t is known
that vast amount of property belonging to-
wealthy rebels has been mortgaged 10 parties in
Europe since the beginning of the war and as
the decision in the case of Slidell will probably
form precedent for all of them, the claims of
the foreign creditors will be declared invalid.
