the passengers refused 10 pay the adtli-

While the police had acted during thu

clined TO move the cars and the police

HE is CAPABLE
OF Taking Care of Himself, Says Court
Of Marquis Townshend.

London, Aug. 12.-What in legal his
| tory will be considered a celebrated
| case was concluded Saturday, when a
| Jury in the historic old hall Of Lin
| coins Inn, inquiring, at the instance
| Of the official solicitor into the mental
condition of the Marquis Townshend,
returned the curious verdict that his
| lor,ishp is capable of taking care OF
| himself being dangerous neither to
himself nor others, but that he is OF
unsound mind SC far as managing his
affairs is concerned.
The case which has attracted great
public interest. was marked yesterday
by an extraordinary incident, when
the jury, against the wish of the judge,
insisted on hearing Townshend's tes-
timony in secret, even refusing the re-
quest of the marchioness for permits
sion to be present
1t was alleged that the Marquis was
unduly influenced by one Robbins,
whom he had known for four years,
and the marchioness testified that Rob-
bins influence over the Marquis had
brought about a separation between
herself and husband soon after their
marriage.
1t developed also that the young mar
quis, finding his estate heavily mort
gagged, was persuaded to seek wealthy
alliance. and one witness testified that
his engagement to a rich American
heireSs had been nearly concluded
when he became affianced to Miss
Sutherst. whose father barrister. was
an undischarged bankrupt, but whom
the marquis and his advisers thought
was wealthy.
The marquis settled $12,500 on his
wife, though his direct income was
only $4,000 and also signed a deed giving
1855 to Robbins. After the marriage
took place the machioness and her
father agreed to advance or procure
the advance to the maquiS 5000,
with the marquis life interest in the
Townshend family estates as security,
and further agreeing to release the
marquis without charge if there was
male issue from the union within 4
year.
Judge Bucknill severely condemned
what he termed The receptions Of the
Suthersts. especially as Mr.. Sutherst
was barrister. The case was nota-
BILE for flashes of wit and the numerous
incidents in which the marchioness.
who is a very pretty woman, was proih-
inent.
In fact, the judge said If it We're not
so serious a matter it might be compar-
ed to comic opera. recalling the fact
that the marquis was once detained
by order of the lunacy commissioners
and saying that when he wanted to
remain away from his wife. as she had
testified, she locked him in a room, and
that now, when all he wanted to do was
to stay at home with his wife, it was
alleged he was lunatic.
The marquis and the warehouses
were most affectionate during the trial.
Her testimony strongly favored his
soundness of mind. but was bitterly
against the alleged influence of Robbins
over him.
