AN important life insurance case has
been recently decided in the Connecticut
courts. In 1869 john g. VoSE took out
policies on his life for S2l, 900 in the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, and in 1872 assigned the policies
to his children. Owing to his becoming
deranged his premiums were not paid for
1873, and he committed suicide. MYRA
A. WHEELER brought suit on the poll
cies in behalf of the children. Judge
LARREMoRE decided, in the Supreme
Court, special term, that visitation OF
God was not sufficient cause to establish
forfeiture, and gave judgment for the
plaintiff.

The religious liberty clause In the
Constitution of Spain has been passed by
the Spanish Cortes, or Congress, by a
vote of 22O yeas to "a nays. This result
i. due in great measure to the eloquence
of CASTELAR,. who is a man endowed
with great ability and can perceive and
and meet a crisis. There is no civilized
country in the world now, where relig-
ious liberty is not tolerated, except it be
Turkey, which is hardly entitled to be
called civilized.

THE New York S,m tells of a case
that has outlived the conflicting decisions
of the Supreme Court on the legal tender
act. In the case of OGDEN VS.. BUHR, a
bond and mortgage executed and deliv
cred before the passage Of the illegal
tender act" became due and payable after
he Supreme Court Of the United States
lin HEPBURN VS.. GRIswoLD) had held
that act unconstitutional as to contracts
executed before its passage.
The defendant rendered payment in
eenbacks, but the plaintiff rejected
them and demanded payment in gold.
Thereupon a compromise was made,
the plaintiff delivering satisfaction
piece and accepting greenbacks, ard also
the defendants bond for the amount of
premium on gold, payable in three
months if the Supreme Court should not
in the mean time override the doctrine
of Hepburn VS. Griswold,
The three months ended on the 9th OF
December, 1870. On the LIST Of May,
1871, in the case of Fox VS.. Lee, the Su-
preme Court held the illegal tender act'
to be constitutional, as we'll in relation to
contracts made before its passage as TO
those subsequently made, thereby over
ruling the decision in Hepburn VS.. Girls
void.
On the 10Th day of May, 1871, this
action was begun; the defense set up the
action in the Supreme Count IN the lat
ter case, and also claimed that the bond
was mere bet or wager, and void As
against public policy.
The case was tried in the April term
before Judge Van Brunt, without q jury,
and he now decides following the ruling
OF the Court of Appeals in Woodruff VS..
Woodruff, that the plaintiff is entitled
to recover on the bond sued on.
