Trivial Causes of Wars.

History records one war that was
caused by glass of water-the war of
the Spanish succession. A lady, Mrs.
Masham, a celebrated court beauty,
was carrying glass of water when she
was obstructed by the Marquis de To
rey. A slight scuflie ensued, and the
water was spilled. The marquis lost
his temper, and bad feeling ensued be-
tween the English and French courts,
with the ultimate result that war was
declared. The campaign cost France
many severe battles = viz, Blenheim,
17O4; Families, 1907; Audenardi, 17OS.
and Malplaquit 1903.

QUEEREST OF LAWSUITS,
A Highwayman Sued His Partner
For His Share of SpOils.

A HighwRyman Sued His Partner
For His Share of SpOils.
Perhaps the most remarkable suit
ever brought is on the records of the
court of the eXchequer in England. 1t
was filed on Oct. 3, 1925, and it sets
forth very clearly that John Everit and
Joseph Williams We're highway rob
bers.
In it's succinct legal phrases the COM
plant says that the men formed a
partnership for the purpose Of carry
ing on business as highwaymen. 1t
was mighty profitable, as was shown
by the fact that Everit sued Williams
for the equivalent Of $1,000, being for
moneys wrongfully appropriated to de-
PENDANTS private PURSE
This was the amount in dispute after
the partnership had lasted only year.
Then Everit claimed that he discov-
cred that his partner had not made a
fair division Of the spells.
The action was adjudged to be a
gross contempt of court, and the plain
tiff was ordered to pay all costs. while
the solicitors who served the writ were
fined. One of the solicitors, man
named Wreathcock, refused to pay the
fine and was sent to prison for six
months. Both plaintiff and defendant
to the action were subsequently hang
ed, one at Tyburn and the other at
Maidstone.
