the Superior Court The answer of the d.
fendants was that The goods were bought on a

'-cash sale" In the sense which means pay be-
fore or ION delivery" OF whether il was such
a cash sale as, by the custom Of different houses

TIE PoPEs ALLoCUTIoN.-The full text of
the recent allocutiEn of the Holy Father upon
the subject of his temporal power has been re-
ceiyed in this country. Ii strongly urges the
right of the Pope 10 temporal sovereignty "a a
necessity for the independence of the Holy See:
announces the spiritual supremacy OF the
Catholic Church, and eensures the italian
Government and its supporters for depriying
the Holy Father of his Roman Provinces He
expresses ms eonndent hope that the designs
or hose who aim az making Rome the capital
OF the new italian Kingdom will not succeed
This allOcuIIon has caused great discussion in
Europe. and the French eYni-offi cial journals
think ~ - more impoi tant, and will produce
worse effects, than other similar documents
issaed by the Pope. The Paris Journal des
Dehais regards il as summons to Italy and
in effect 10 all the Catholic powers. to put in
practice principles purely speculative"
