interests of his wife and children. To guard
against this the deed should. be irrevocable.
In Jones vs.. Clifton, IOl, g. S. S. c., 225, it
is held that the power Of revocation, though it
exist, cannot inure TO the benefit Of future
creditors, ard it is held that such power in
that case would not 60 to the donors assignees
in bankruptcy, the creditors all being subse-
uuent That power however, doubtless would
enure to the benefit of creditors existing when
the deed was made, and voluntary settle
merlt without value could be set aside in their
favor.
Now the claim Of the Chinese wife, if it were
valid at all, was a present claim TO support,
and an inchoate claim to dover, and she stood
against Afong's estate as though creditor.
And when she finally came as alleged in the
bill, her claim was settled for by the granting
Of a valuable immediate annuity.
To defeat or embarrass this claim, and to
protect against it as far as possible, the future
interests OF his wife and children, were the
objects in view, and the motive for the strong
est deed possible was apparent. Whether any
deed would he effective against the danger was
not the question then most to be thought Of.
The consideration of natural love and affection
for this wife, and these children, even though
held not legal or legitimate was ample. See
Bum VS.. Winthrop, Johns Oh. r. 329, 337.
The plaintiff states in his bill that when the
trust was made, he believed that be still re-
tanned the power of otherwise disposing Of the
trust property. He may have had such a
thought, but the paramount purpose then in
his mind was defence against the Chinese
marriage. If as to other point, he mistook the
law, it was not one of those special mistakes
of law, partaking Of the nature of fact which
form the few exceptions TO the rule, Ig"oro"tia

For these reasons and for those expressed in

Anncdotn nfnQueen

Tho arrival in this city the other day Of
that Queen of Tahiti" who was no Queen Of
Tahiti at all, reminds me of story the Queen
dowagcr Emma, of the Hawaiian Islands, told
me Of her experience the fret time she visited
San francisco. Emma" as she is Familiarity
but always respectfully spoken of by her peo-
pie, is three-quarters "white," as the express
sion goes, being the daughter OF an English
father and a "half-white" (Hawaiian and
English) mother. She is therefore not darker
than a decidedly brunette Caucasian. In her
suit Of females were a number Of hali-white
and pure blood Hawaiians. One of the latter
was Swapping Lig girl, with the indepen-
dent swagger and upright carriage peculiar
to Sandwich Island women Of all classes, and
this woman nearly every one here who saw
the party insisted was the Queen. She was
big and very dark, which satisfied the popular
idea concerning Emma, better than the Queen S
own description: Petite in person and compar-
atively light in complexion. "Lalani"-that
was the big girls name-receiyed the homage
of clerks, shop people, chambermaids, walters,
bell-boYg and the uniformed public generally
with such evidences Of royal condescension
as she thought the occasion demanded, being
encouraged in maintaining the common deu-
out the hotel and stores, ETC., Unnoticed and
Inconvenience. The party was in fashion
able dry-goods house one day, when, as usual
the crowd was thickest around Lalani, and
thinnest about Emma The former, seeing
some particularly rich and dazzling bright
silk and velvet, ordered liberal supply for
dress, to be sent to her hotel.
"And when shall | send the bill, Your
Maiesty?" inquired the ever cautious, thou III
obsequious salesman.
"Oh, never mind about that; Lalani will pay
the cash now," replied halani herself, and
then attracting the Queens attention by speak
ing in native TO her, added in English, "Here,
Lalani, see what my bill is and pay it please
To have rebuked the hussy would have
made a scene, but that consideration aside,
the splendid assurance of the girl, and the
sight Of the half grinning, half-aifrighted faces
Of the other women 10 the suite, drove out Of
her mind whatever indignation the Queen may
have felt. Stepping to the salesman, she in
quired, "How much please2"
The Queen rather choked at the answer,
Zone hundred and fifteen dollars, please" but
swallowed her amazement the best she could,
proceeded to settle the bill in good gold coin,
while the triumphant and only slightly trem-
bling real Lalani regarded the success of her
joke in apparently queenly indifference to such |
trifies as dry-goods bills.
In telling this story, Queen Emma concluded:
II never even rebuked the girl, who after |
wards learned, played the joke on dare
rom the other girls. 1 thought 1 owed that
much to her for the share Of the public atten-
ion which she relieved me of"-Coyr. San

This cause comes here on appeal from the
decision of the Chancellor, allowing the de.
PENDANTS demurrer to the plaintiffs bill. Tho
action was brought TO set aside a voluntary
trust executed by C. Along in favor of himself,
his wife and children, on the ground Of mis-
take. The trustee is party plainti # and brings
the deed Of trust into Court. 1t contains nc
power Of revocation.
The case was ably and exhaustivel yargu ed
before the Chancellor, aud the briefs Of both
parties there were embodied in his opinion
The same arguments we've filed with us and
additional authorities mainly like those filed
were also presented.
The question turns almost entirely upon the
absence in the deed Of power of revocation.
The authorities are conflicting as to the effect
of this. But We think the law may well be
treated as settled, as quoted by the Chancellor
from Bispham's Equity, p. 60.
s. THAT where the intent to make an irrevoc-
able gift is perfectly apparent, or where even
in the absence of such q clear intent, sufi-
cient motive (such as protection against the
grantor's own extravaganza or the like) for
making such gift exists. the settlement can
not be disturbed. But when the deliberate
intent docs not appear aud no motive exists, the
absence Of power of revocation is priRia fdcis
evidence Of mistake
On looking at the trust deed, bearing date
June 10, lssl. we find it recites that ''Wherels
the said c. Along is DESTROYS Of making the
provision hereinafter made for his said wife
and the issue of them, the said c. Along and
Julia Along, and in consideration of his love
and affection for them, this indenture witness
eth, and thereupon the deed declares the trust
attacked herein.
This is the sole motive and consideration set
forth in the deed, and if this were all we should
feel that the decision might he different. The
motive for such an irrevocable gift might be
thought inadequate. Blu: the bill alleges and
the plaintiffs counsel says that the deed was
executed to protect the benefciAries in it from
the supposed claim Of Lee Hong the wife whom
the plaintiff had married according to Chinese
custom many years before in China. He feared
that she might, il she came here, DO declared
by our Courts to be his lawful wife, and at his
iecease, to be entitled to dover in all his es-
late. Here then was the real motive, and the |
reason for making the deed irrevocable seems |

threatened and seemed likely to leopard tho ]
