AN ARISTOURATIO CRIMINAL.

A trial of international interest, des tined. j-to prominently amongst th hwmisixlebres of this "century, has bqen concluded at' the Innsbruck As dze'Sfc Tyrol. The accused was Baron .Pavel.'- Ramnuiigen,; whose |[yqs£qaused ho small .sensation. He to royalty through his cousin’s marriage : with -the Princess Frederica, and was charged with fraud in cpn flfcttid’tf'Wilhthe “Reichardt Legacy.” Tii Bistbry of this legacy as given in is .a romance in itself. *i the imiddlc of the; last century j Reichardt,-. after serving in .of 1 i the Grand Mogul of Delhi against the English, founded the Principality of Sirdhana, in North West-India. ; TheNegacy which bears his name fell to his wife,.Begum Somru, renowned Tor her cruelty, who even tually embraced Hhe Catholic faith, and adopted as her heir David Dyce SjStobre,’ 'a gratidson of General Rei- Chafdfi" ■ The legacy was, however, se questrated Ijy the East India Company, 9p: plea ..that after .the General’s death Begum was only entitled to the Usufruct of the Principality of Sird hana. A long and complicated' suit arose, which was only finally ter minated id 1872 by decision of the Privy Council in London. David Dyce married a daughter of Admiral St Vincent, and. was . .subsequently de clared to be a lunatic, in consequence of his cxtravagantr-way of living. He disinherited ’ his wife oht' of revenge, and,made, a will in favor of the East India.'Company. . .After his death his Widow • married' Lord Forrester, and attacked her deceased husband’s will. While this lawsuit was going, on, sqme- it was suddenly an p'popcqdi 7 that General. Reichardt was not, a pative of India, but a born ‘Tjrfcbltesfc A notice, inquiring .for the defendants of Reichardt, appeared in |r^*yr^. : Pevspaper, and shortly. after wards a teacher of languages, named Geqaud, residing at Bozen, put forward a clairavtb the’legacy on behalf J of a VOrpan pretending to descend frorp Reichaidt’s sister. >ln spiteof Genaud’S efforts. ithe -case fell throtlgh, but, no thing prpcuyea'';atfothe^ dientf'idpfersofr '6t‘ one Slaiia Wid paayr, formerly epok to the vicar of the Jjjtq; 1876, through- .an mtrm .Count Gunther Sternberg, this pair became acquainted with Baron Pawel-Kamraingen, who, owing to his knowledge of foreign languages and connections in the best society, ap peared the right man to promote the legacy venture.. An agreement was QtpudQledi and. it J was decided;tb blish a fund for the purpose of further ing the pbject in view. Baron Pawel- Rammingen, says ihejindictment, went at to ; London, and as often to Rome, besides performing several jourfi^ys I td : PariS ; ahd Vienna. He managed to collect over 30,000 florins through Genaud and Widmayr, who. obtained the money from small ca Pl#|t>Dundeir : ; prpmise ;tKat • three tildes the amount thus advanced should be re-imbursed. . Baron Pawel-Ram mingen succeeded m inducing several ; note, rin England, and Austria to interest themselves in -his undertaking.

He took advantage of a communica tion Denbigh, stating that Begum Somru ,a large sum to. Catholic mission at Agra, to represent the whole affair .as pne. ; pf primary im portance to the Catholic Church. Baron Pawel - Raramingen by this means won the sympathy and support of the <oletgy.; He had, moreover, been converted to Catholicism in America, and in 1879 was ? appointed Chamber lain to the Pope. He addressed him- Friars at Rome, that| orderfhaving fur nished the mission to Agra, and pro mised him that the Tyrolese heir to the Reicfaardt legacy would pay the Capu chins their share, said to have been withheld {by the. English Government, providing they would support the en terprise. ' "The -Baron boasted of hav ingi. 'secured the goodwill of the late Lord Ellis and of Lord Ripon, Viceroy df India, but with regard to the former there is | reason to believe that, the statement. is, altogether unfounded, vyhilev.so. far, as Lord Ripon; is con cerned,' he only vaguely promised to give the matter his‘-attention should'it ; dbihe : .'before the Indian law courts.'

N EVIL AND ITS REMEDY.—T) the Editor, —It is ahealthy sign ofthe times . when our local papers are beginning to deal in a fearless manner with bankrupts and the bankruptcy laws. The time has come when : something must be done either by the legisla- ' lure or by business men themselves to put an end to instate of affairs which is a disgrace to ; our boasted civilisation. We (the ' under- ! signed) have been doing business in Ashbur ton about 3' z years, and the money we have lost during t hat period by bankrupts, levan ters, and blacklegs generally amounts to a great deal more than the margin usually allowed for bad debts. If the law cannot pro tect us then we must protect ourselves, and there is only one way to do so, viz., to abolish the credit system altogether. This system has been the curse of other countries besides New Zealand, and past experience has proved it to | be rotten to the core. Owing to recent heavy losses we r , have resolved to sell. for cash only in future. The honest man who is willing do pay his 20s in the £, and pay as he goes, will find this no disadvant age out a great gain, as he will be able to obtain a first-class article much cheaper than he would under the old system. We - shall exert our selves to the utmost as heretofore to give our customers full satisfaction, and every order will be executed in our usual first-class style—but we shall no longer run any unnecessary risk. Under the cash system we are prepared to offer a special line of tweeds at the following unusually low prices'Gentleman’s suit made to order, £2 18s fid; ladies’ tailor made ulster, £2.
