lawsuit Of Long Duration.

The longest drawn out lawsuit on
record in legal history is between two
neighboringa French villages in Jura-
Charchil4at and Meusia.. The case had
Its beginning in the Thirteenth century
In 12s2 a, certain knight Of the Holy
empire divided certain wood between
the two villages. Although the wood
is of small value, the two villages
engaged in a controversy over the
exact line Of division and a lawsuit,
which has lasted through the centuries
to the present age, WAS begun. p ,.,
During the past century there have
been many judgments rendered, all Of
which have been appealed from. In
one court decision the advantage was
given to Meusia. Charchillat appealed
and the case was finally sent back to
the court of civil appeal ut Nancy.
where last December Churchillat was
awarded a third Of the wood instead Of
a fifth, as settled before. Each Of the
towns was condemned to pay its own
costs since 1924. Meusia has appealed
from the award. E
