OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Decision OF the First Civil Tribunal
of the Seine In the Bric-a-
Brac suit.

Paris, Jan. 24.--1he first tribunal of
the Seine has decided the suit Of the
Count and Countess de Castellane
against Wertheimer, the bric-a-brac
dealer, by dividing the transactions
into three series. In the first it is
declared that the exchanges and pur-
chnses were freely agreed to and in
good faith and, therefore, could not
now be modified,
The second series, comprising the
exchanges, is regarded as liable to
the suspicion Of usury, and the court,
therefore, has appoin.sd three experts
to appralsc the articles, final judg-
ment being given after their report.
In the third series. concerning art
works belonging to Count Boni de
Castellance, sold by Werthcimer, the
court declares the transaction holds
good, but calls on Wertheimer to sub
mi, proof Of the sale In order to show
he did not realize illegitimate profit.
