TRANSFERS OF GOVERNMENT BoNps-AN INTER-
EsTiNG DECISIoN.-First Controller Lawrence has
decided an interesting question In connection with
the transfer OF government bonds On the 21st OF
July, 1852, Paulna Garcia, a married woman, OF
Matanzas Cuba, died intestate leaving govern
ment bonds registered In her name. Her husband
and three minor children survived her. The hus-
band presented to the first controller evidence of
these facts, and the sworn opinion of lawyers that
oy the law OF Cuba title to the bonds in question
vested IN the surviving husband and father as
was therefore entitled to have the bonds trans
ferred to the minor children without letters OF ad-
mlnistraton The first controller decided that In
the minor children and that the accruing interest
could be collected by the guardian. He held that
the law OF Spain, In force In Cuba, controlled the
rights of the parties in such case, but that II the
Claimant had been citizen of the United States
transfer could only be made by an administrator
upon the estate Of the deceased.
