CURIOUS Law SUIT. There is sometimes,
even in litigation, a sort of romance which
gives zest to the proceedings. Some Of the
Western pspersare giving the details of assuit
now going forward ID the courts in st. Louis.
1t was brought by a daughter against her
father to recover "a share IN a piece Of fproperty
which he had given her sometime ago. The
plaintiff is young married lady named Isabel
Reed. The defendant: Is her father, Frederick
Robinson. L She alleges that her father had
given her share inca piece of laud on Caron-
delet avenue, valued at five or six thousand,
dollars. and the suitu is ntor q partition OF the
same. Her mother being dead and her father
married to a second, wife, the trustee and the
wife are defendants in the suit: The wife Of
Mr. Robinson denies that Mrs. Reed is
the, daughter Of her husband, or is. entitled to
any share. OF the property.~The old mauadmies
that he married dGhesmother Of Mrs. Reed, and
that she is his daughter; but claims that the
marriage1Vas illegal, his former wife having a

Reed produces letters from her tat her, hieh

that her father had on two occasions stolen
her away from her home, but she wastaken
