The suit brought by the municipality OF
Marseilles against the ex Empress of the
French has been won by the defendant, who
gets a verdict, with costa, as has al
ready been announced. The suit was
brought IL order to recover possession OF a
large tract of land presented by the city to
the Emperor in 1854 as the site for the con
struction of an imperial palace. In the
papers Eugene was described as "the widow
BJDapsrte, Of no occupation" 1t was con
tended that the town gave the land, not to
Louis Napoleon personally, but to him as
the Chief of the State, and that when the
empire fell the contrac implied In the gift
was at an end. The court decided
in Eugenie's favor on the following
ground: The gift and lis acceptance
constituted q c0ntract, the only con-
dition of which was hat His Majesty should
use the ground snl build a palace upon il.
This condi ion was fulfilled to Il Q etter; the
palace was reared at the EmOei o,'s person al
COST 1t had been Inhabited and was still
habisable. Il was cited, leo, that by the
Sequestration Commission appointed on the
fan OF the empire the land and buildings In
question we9e included among the Emper
or's personal property. Before the action
was begun, 1t is said that the ex Empress
spontaneously offered TO give the palac and
grounds to the city of Marseilles provided
thy were employed as an orphanage and
&c DOL for the children Of deceased soldiers.
This offer the corporation rejected,
