Wards Of Court.

Formerly, the Court of Chancery in
England declined to sanction the mar.
riage of an infant ward when, on ac-
count of his infancy, it was impossible
for him to settle his real property SO rs
to 60 along with his title, or to provide
for his younger children by the settle
ment. 1t is provided, however, by the
Infants Settlement Act for 1856, that
every male infant of twNnty-one years,
and every female infant of seventeen
years, may upon, or in contemplation
of, marriage, with the approval of the
court, make valid and binding settle
ment of their real or personal estate on
their matrimony.
1t is considered very serious con-
empt of court to marry ward without
Is consent; and the person who does so,
IS well as those who contribute and as
iist at the marriage are liable to be
committed to prison; while, if they are
'eers or peeresses, sequestration will
e ordered against them; but members
[ the House of Commons will not be
rivileged from arrest and Imprisonment
II this offense.
Among the more noteworthy cases of
uch contempt of court are those which
ave occurred last century and the early
art OF the present one. OF the more

TOuIOn, the Plague-Stricken City.

Toulon, at present the chief town of
an reimbursement of the Var, is stu
ated on the northern shore of a bay
which runs for some distance in q north
westerly direction into the French main
land. To the north, high chain of
hills runs half round the bay; at the
south, the entrance to the harbor is pro-
tected by lofty promontories from east
erly or westerly winds. 1t is guarded
from the south wind by peninsula
running across the entrance, to the
north of which are the great roads.
Close to the town are two large basins,
formed by magnificent quays and moles,
called the old and new port, the eastern
one for vessels of war and merchant
men, the other kept exclusively for the
navy, having been greatly enlarged in
1856. The depth of the outer roads is
sixty feet, that of the inner roads and
the basins thirty feet, so that fully
equipped vessel of the line can float at
ease in them. Since 1884 the plan of
charging the town and harbor has been
frequently discussed, but it was not
really undertaken till 1886, being at
that time highly unnecessary, for the
tracing all the trade, and Toulon grad
ually sinking as commercial port.
The enlargement of the town, however.
was not set about till 1856, and that
through the extension of the war har-
Dor, which was disproportionate to
Louis Napoleon's rapidly created fleet.
While the war harbor formerly could
only hold thirty ships of the line, it is
now spacious enough for $50 ironclad
frigates. Toulon has endured repeated
siegcs, which nearly all resulted nnfor-
tunately for the town. In 500 it was
captured by the Goths; in 789 torn from
the Saracens by Charles Martel, but
thrice besieged and desorated by them
in 1178, 1886 and 1911. In 1924 it was
occupied by the troops of Charles ",
Under the Constable de Bourbon. In
the Spanish War of Succession it glori-
ously withstood the siege of Prince Eu-
gene, who, after twenty-four days of
heavy fighting, with 10000 men, was
compelled to retreat. The last tragic
event of this nature was the siege and
recapture of the city in 1898 by the Re-
publicans, for the convention behaved
with even unusual ferocity. When
Toulon surrendered to the English it
had %, 900 inhabitants; short time aft
er the departure of the latter it was re-
duced to 1000; now its population has
reached 70,510. But Toulon has also
suffered equally by pestilences, which
ragged with unparalleled fury. Since the
commencement of the fifteenth century
the town has been visited no less than
nine times by the plague, the worst be-
ing in 1921, the last time it made its

HAHNVILLE, LOUISIANA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 49, 1884

fragrant of these cases Is one in which
the son of Lord Tankerville's steward,
by the contrivance of nobleman, mar.
ried ward of chancery in the noble
mans park; for which grievous con-
tempt they, and parson in the Fleet
Prison, who had been bribed by the
nobleman with one hundred guineas to
marry them, and also maid-servant,
were all sent to and kept in Jail for a
fortnight, except the husband, who was
detained there for six weeks. In anoth-
err instance woman in mean circum-
stances and of bad character was lodged
in prison fora long period for marrying
male ward of court, who was made
drunk at an ale house. and thus entrapped
into the marriage. A very fragrant
contempt of court, under exceedingly
aggravating circumstances, was COM
mitted by q Justice of the Peace, and
barrister who was formerly solicitor,
by contriying the marriage of ward,
with a fortune of thirty thousand pounds,
to schoolmaster in Islington. He was
for this serious offense not only sent to
prison for five weeks, but was struck
out of the commission as Justice of the
Peace, and prohibited from practicing
at the bar. In the leading case of Eyre
VS.. Countess of Shaftesbury, tried in
ITO, before Lord Chancellor Maccles-
field, and Lords Commissioners Jekyll.
Gilbert and Raymond, sequestration
was issued against the Countess of
Gainsborough, and Lady Shaftesbury,
for marrying an infant, who was peer,
to Lady Susa.nnah Noel; which, though
not to his disparagement, was done
without the consent of the court or his
guardian. In another case that of
Baseley VS., Baseley, it appears that
Mrs. Baseley-formerly Miss Anne
Wade-was on the death of her father
in 1906, heiress to real and personal
property of large amount. She was
made ward of Chancery at an early
age; in her seventeenth year she was
taken away by Mr. Baseley, young
gentleman of no property, and who had
no previous acquaintance with her or
her family; but he obtained possession
OF her by the aid of her governess and
servants, and in gross contempt of court.
He and the young lady went to Scot
land, and were married at Gretna
Green in 1915, and were shortly after
wards again married in the Episcopal
Church of Edinburgh. After residing
for some time in Scotland petitions
were presented to the Lord Chancellor
on their behalf, but his lordship would
not listen to any application until the
ward was brought within the jurisdic-
ton of his court. Shortly afterwards,
Mr.. Baseley presented himself in court,
when Lord Eldon committed him to
Jail, where he was kept until Mrs. Base
ley attained her age of twenty-one.--

were taken for for foreign account Money

cent per diem closed at two per cent per

In the afternoon the banks were free
lenders, causing a buoyancy in which the
active stocks participated, heavy sales being
made at the advanced figures, and closing
deals indicated that values had improved
over the finish Friday TO the extent OF l@i
per cent Government bonds were active
at higher rates. The feeling in railroad
bonds marked an Improvement but State
