born. The existence of this informal
will is clearly of Importance, and was
relied upon by the plaintiffs as show
ing that, in Mr.. BeIhelrs own opinion
his marriage was not valid in the
European sense, but only valid local
Iy.
Nj. Justice Stirling has prOnounc-
ed in that sense. He has declared
that marriage according TO the us
tom Of The Baralones is not bind
ing upon an Englishman. Al first
sight this judgment may seem hard,
but both authority and reason are
renIly in favour of it. The essel tial
point is that the BarnIongs are a pO-
lygamous people !; end cons quenlIy
that a marriage with one of them is
wanting in the necessary element
which makes the validity of n MARI
nge us it is understood in ChristendOm.
When a man enters upon a marriage
with a woman Of a pOIygamOus race,
according to the customs OF her race,
and without taking steps to show that
his act excerpts her from the operation
Of those customs, the law declares
that the marriage So contracted Is
polygamOuS; that is to say, from the
point of view of Christian nations, no
marriage at all. Lord Brnuoham, in
a celebrated judgment quoted by Mr..
Justice Stirling, declared that the ma
ture of the contract could not in this
respect be defined by the lea loci;
otherwise a man who Tad married
two wives in Turkey would be recog-
nized 0s married to them by the law
of England. In another case Lord
P~enzance defined legal marriage, as
the law recognizes it, in terms which
admit Of no mistake. Marriage he
said, cas- understood in Christendom,
may be defined as the voluntary
"union for life Of one man aud one
"woman to the exclusion ofaIl others"
But, tested by this d.fnition, The
marriage of Mr.. BelhrII aud Teepoo
breaks down. Nothing was TO pre-
yen him taking another wife when
ever he might choose; and this Tee
poo knew perfectly well. The rus
toms of the tribe permitted it, and it
was strictly according to the customs
of the tribe hat he and she were unit
ed. Surprising that he had thus tax
en- a second wife, would there have
been a case tor the English Courts to
decides Surely, then, he conclusion
would have been obvious that the
marriage had not been sucIl as the law
of England could recognize ; and the
mere fact that there was no second
wife, where by Baralong custom there
might have been, makes no essential
difference to the case. Thus ii ap-
pears that poor Teepoo must recon
cile herself to the fact that she was
but a half wife and is but half "a
widow. At the same time the moral
claim of the child, to which the Judge
referred in emphatic terms at the
close Of his judgment, is incontestabIe.

TIE BETRRLL MARRIAGE CASE.

1t isn0t oftengiv 10 an En~gliShman
who dies III "a strange land TO arouse
the interest of his c%ountrymen not
only in the question OF his death, but
in that of his m rriage. Such, how
ever, has been the lot OF the late Com
mander Christopher Bethel, who. as
will be remembered, met his death in
an encounter between the Bechuana-
land Mounted Police and the Beers,
on July 80, 1884. The circumstance
es Of his death were such as TO excite
much public curiosity and indignation
in this country and in the Cape Colo
ny; but with them we are not here
concerned. The question with which
Commander BethelI's friends aud the
IubIic have lately been concerning
themselves is not how he died, but
whether he was married. \ consid-
erahle amount of property is lnvoIv-
ell in the matter, not TO speak OF the
romantic interest OF the question ;
for Mr.. Bethel was the son OF a veal
thy Yorkshire family, and he and his
Lawful heirs inherited an estate from
his fnther, who died in 1879. 1t
would seem hat :umour of an Afri-
can marriage had reached England
sOon after his death, for his brother
William Bethel, who would inherit
in default of direct heirs, took out a
summons, and the Court, in June,
1885, ordered an inquiry TO be made
into the facts. The final result of
that inquiry was proclaimed yestrr-
dey, when Mr.. Justice Stirling deliv-
ed an elaborate judgment in the case
Of "BetheIl 80. HiIdyard." That
Judgment decides that there was no
marriage, though Commanded Bethel
undoubtedly left a qWGsi-widow, who
bore him a child ten days after his
his death. There had been n long
and careful argument, and undoubted-
ly many of the facts tended to show
that there had been a marriage. But
on a careful review Of the circumstan-
ces, in the light of certain w%ell-defn-
ed principles of English law, Mr..
Justice Stirling decided that the Bara-
long wife was no wife, and conse-
quentIy that the child could not in
herit'the English estate of it's father.
The facts of the case were com
parativeIy simple. In 1878 Mr..
Christopher Bethell, being then in
Africa, received the appointment of
British Resident with MontSioa, the
Bechuana Chief of whom so much
was heard when the question OF an
nexing Be%chuanaland was before
Parliament. He was chief Of the Ba-
ralongs, one the principal Bechu"na
tribes; and with him Mr. Bethel,
though his appointment as British
Resident was shortly cancelled, ap-
pears to have cultivated ve,y friend
ly relations. Continuing to live among
the BaraIongs, and developing a taste
for their simple and semi barbarous
form Of life, Mr.. Bethel some time at.
forwards thought that he would like

asked for his niece, TeepOo, the hero
inc Of the story j; and in due course
Teepoo wasgranted tohim. Now every
things depends on the manner of the
marriage, aud on the tribal GUS
toms which il illustrates; for accord
ing to these must the question be de-
cided whether the union then formed
between Mr.. Bethel and his dark
bride was or was not such as could
be recognized by the law of England,
The first point of Importance is that
the marriage took place, by Mr.. Be
thelPs deliberate wish, according to
the BnralOng rite. He declined 10
marry sin a church." though Mont
siOa, with a Shrewdn"ss not X
Piled in these simple savagrS, pressed
him to do so. H. preferred to per-
form the ceremonies of the country,
those lrious ceremonies which are
described in Mr.. Justice Strings
Judgment. When a marriage takes
place among the BaraIongS, n mum
btr of those Symbojical rites have to
be gone through. which, as the re
searches of modern scholars have
shown, are practised universally
among primitive peoples. "Whrn
"the consent Of the parents has been
obtained, the BRIDEGROOM Sl"ughters
"a sheep, IA buck, an OX, or COW. The
"heads of these animals are taken to
''the brides parents, as also is the
"hide, which i, cleaned and Soitened.
"'Hhey are then considered married, and
eater the birth OF the first child the
"number OF the cattle previously
''agreed upon is handed over to the
"wife's parents" Thus did Mr. Bethel,
accor ling TO Montsioa, who says,
ale slaughtered an OK. and sent Tie

'pOo. | then went IT, MakWaS and
"Said, Give your daughter to Bethel;
"vou see he really means it. See,
che has sent you the head" Then
the girl was given to Mr.. Bethel, and
he still further conformed 10 BaralOng
customs by giving a span of oxen
and a plough to I eepOo'S fnther, bid
ding him with it TO plough the mo-
TIERS garden. 81 know" says Mont
sioa, after mentioning all these cere-
monies "that Bethel really married
"'TpepOo, and that she VAS his wife,
"and not his paramount" Wife or
not, he took her home. Then there
broke out the disturbances in Bechu-
analand, and a forceof mounted police
was sent d0wn into Montsioa's cOun-
try, Of these Bethel vas appointed
commander, though he never receiv-
ed the formal document which nomi-
mated him and in the following July
he was killed, or, indeed, murdered,
by some Beers. Ten days afterwards
his child was born, and the question
now arises, 10 what property is that
child entitled-to the Yorkshire es-
tate of $500 a year, or only TO the
produce of the "a'rms, ammunition,
'wagOn, oxen, horses and tie other
