QUEER BLUNoERs IN COURTS
Frsneh Judge Divorces Petitioners
lawysr-simiiar Error Made BY
Magistrate In England.

Some years ago, II is said, a legal
blunder Of q most extraordinary char
acter was committed In one OF the di.
vorce courts in Paris. BY some mis-.
apprehension on the part OF the presid.
ing Judge, whose papers and mind had
got confused. he actually mistook the
name Of an advocate who had been
arguing a petition for the name of the
petitioner himself. and in granting and
signing the decree of dissolution Of
marriage of the petitioner unwittingly
substituted the advocates name for
the petitioners, and thus divorced the
lawyer from his wife instead Of grant.
ing the prayed.for release Of the advo.
Gates client. As the lawyer had no
desire for separation from his wife.
and as there was no process for an.
nulling an absolute decree for divorce,
even TO meet such a remarkable case,
II became necessary, through the ju.
G:Cial error. for the man Of law to re.
marry his spouse without delay, and
this he did.
A som,aha, similar error was com
miltcd IN the English Court Of Chan.
Gerry. There had been = litigation
over some property, which was bcld
b, one man and claimed by another
Of the same name. In evading some
order ~ The court the holder OF the
property had committed contempt,
and on this being called tn the at.
tention Of the Judge an order issued
for the summonins. not Of the guilty
party. bu, ~ the claimant of the same
surname, and the order, a very se
we're one. was actually In execution
before the error was discovered.

At the time Of the establishing OF the
TIMES, list Of subscribers was presented
us accompanied by guarantee signed by
a number OF business men and farmers.
that these subscriptions would be paid
within six months from the date Of the
first issue OF the paper. There are few
however who have not AS yet paid their
subscription for the year, although the
six months has elapsed, and as this com
mittee is anxious to have the matter set
tied up and off their hands as soon AS
possible land As We need the money! it
is earnestly requested by them that set
Element be made as soon as convenient.
We are sure none OF our subscribers wish
10 see this burden fall ON the committee,
and we trust that this little reminder will
he the means OF enabling them to speedily
close up the matter.
