boutwell, AND QUEEN MARY
Document, Had It Been Made Public,
Would Have Changed Course
Of Three Lives.

Dunrobin castle, in Scotland, was
the scene of discovery a few years
ago of a document relating to Mary
Queen of Scots, which, had it seen
the light when poor Mary Stuart was
ebout to commit the browning act of
folly in marrying Boutwell,, would
have changed the whole Intercourse
Of her life. The document was the
original dispensation granted by the
vatican to Lady Jane Gordon to en-
able her to marry her cousin, the earl
of Boutwell,. When the latter wanted
to espouse his sovereign he%declared
his union with Lady Jane Gordon null
and void on the ground of their rela-
tionship and obtained a divorce The
assumption is that Lady Boutwell, was

ton be given the ordinance granting

way as the company interprets IT,,
such Interpretation would be Illegal.

the city's right to compel the railroad

CATION of the matter two or three
months since and when the report
was made to the council that the l..

OPINION OF Mr.. JONES.
Attorney Jones's opinion in full. q
copy of which was mailed to Mayor
Goodman last night, is as follows:
Pensacola, May 18th, 1909.
Hon c. c. Goodman, Mayor.
Dear Sir: Replying to your in-
quiry as TO whether, in event the city
decides 20 pave Tarragona street, the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Com
pany could be compelled to pay the
cost of paving between its rails. etc.
The railroad company contends. as
I understand, that the ordinance
granting it the franchise of construct
ing, owning and operating an addl-
tiopal track on Tarragona street.
adopted January, 1897, and found at
page 500 of the code, exempts it from
paving the cost of such paving.
The principle of law is firmly estab-
Iished that all grants such as the one
made by said ordinance must be
strictly construed most strongly
against the grantee and in favor OF
the public.
Applying this rule. it is clear to my
mind that said ordinance was not in
tended to have, and has not. the effect
commended for by the company.
But, if such construction be given
il as the company does, it would be
ultra wires, OF Illegal, because the city
could not have granted il such i'm
munity without legislative authority.
and we find that at the time of the
adoption of the ordinance the fegisla-
ture had not only failed to vest such
power in the city but section Sc or
the charter, as it then existed, made
it mandatory on the city to require
the company to pave between its
rails and for one foot on each side
thereof whenever the city should pave
the street.
Clearly the city could not release
the company of an obligation imposed
by the legislature.
For the foregoing reasons, and
others not now necessary to state. I
advise you that in the event the CITY
should decide to pave TaTragona

right, bat it would be its duty. to re-
