THE SEQUEL TO THE "STERNGE, TRUE STORY."

■ Mrs Langworttey's Triumpli

(FKOM THE " PAIL MALL GAZETTE.")

" The Strange True Story of the Lang wortky Marriage" seems likely to end as happily as if it were the most orthodox o popular romances. When we broke off the ; story Mr Langworthy was still defiant; Messrs Bircham were still contesting point by point of Mrs Langworthy's case, and Mrs Langworfchy herself seemed so hopeless of any redress in this country that we appealed to the public for funds to fit her forth for an expedition to the New World, there to P^ 6 and prosecute her recreant husband in tne Argentine courts. From that moment tne tide turned; the long series of almost un interrupted disappointments to which Mrs Langworthy had been subjected for years terminated, and a run of altogether un expected good luck ensued. It is not yet certain whether Mrs Langworthy will obtain all that she has claimed for the violation of her husband's promise to marry her legally as well as in fact. That alone remains to be tried. Her claim, whjch has been amended in accordance with official suggestion to bring it up to £28,600, the lowest sum with which she could purchase an annuity of £1,200, the amount of her present alimony, has not yet been decided- by the Official Receiver. But it is as simple as a rule-of three sum. Mr Langworthy promised to marry Miss Long. The Courts have de cided that if she had been married she ■would have been entitled as Mrs Lang worthy to alimony of £1,200 a year if separated from her husband. Obviously the monetary value of the promise to marry her has already been assessed at £1,200 per annum, and all that the Official Receiver needs to do is to ascertain what lump sum down will realise £1,200 per annum for the rest of her life. That, we believe, cannot be less than £28,600, and at that figure, therefore, the claim has been fixed. This alone remains in doubt. On all other points Mrs Langworthy has achieved, thanks to the support of the public and the energy and skill of her lawyers, a complete and even brilliant triumph. At the begin ning of the year Messrs Bircham ridiculed the idea of paying her more than £1,000 in full discharge of all her claims upon their client., The judicial award in her favour amounted to over £4,000, with £500 taxed costs due to Messrs Lumley and Lumley. There was, besides, the maintenance of the alleged child, which had to be fixed by the Court.

Mr Langworthy denied that he had either money or debts in this country. His mother produced a long array of figures, showing that so far from being the millionaire that he was believed to be, Edward Martin Langworthy was heavily in debt, and that his estates had been transferred to her as his chief creditor. As for Mr Langworthy himself, he was beyond the jurisdiction, and he meant to stay there. How to. get at him except by follow ing him to the Argentine no one seemed to know. Fortunately at the last moment itwas discovered that the inquisitorial examina tion before the Official Receiver in Bank ruptcy supplied Mrs Langwprthy with an effective weapon for exposing fraud and defeating the attempt of the, debtor to evade payment "of his liabilities by trans ferring his property to his. relatives. There was the usual fencing," Mrs Langworthy, Ben., being ill' or absent, and therefore being unable ;to face examination, as per the. usual* affidavits. But she was brought to book.' ' So ' Was her^dSiigMeV ; and their examination brought to light sufficient, to "' justify- ' th?;'.-ip^ji© of ,a restraining order forbMaing theni'to paW with any of the property of the bankrupt. Still not a penny was paid. At last it was decided to apply the engine of examination in bankruptcy to Messrs Bircham. Mr Harrington'"Charles James Groves and Mr To - the - best - of - my - knowledge - and- belief- Danby were summoned for examination to explain how, when, under what circum stances, and for what consideration their client, the fraudulent and absconding bank rupt aforesaid, had caused to be executed by them a legal instrument conveying his property to his mother and his sisters. Then, and not till then—not till the bull's-eye of the bankruptcy inquisitor was about to be turned full on to the secrets of the office in Parliament-street —did the defence collapse. Before the day arrived for the examination of Messrs Groves and Danby, the white flag was run up to the masthead, and Messrs Bircham intimated that Mrs Langworthy, sen., would pay into Court the whole of the alimony and costs, amounting to a sumof overf 4,500, and would continue to pay in monthly the sum of £100 alimony ordered by the Court. That has been done, and the money is now lodged in the safe keeping of the Court. No sooner was this done than. Messrs Bircham were as anxious to provide for the maintenance of the child as they had before been indifferent. They insisted upon pressing on the inquiry before Mr Registrar Middleton, in ■•order to have the amount fixed, so that the decree might be made absolute and the payment of alimony stopped. When the question was first raised, Mr Langworthy, with that fine sense of honour and decency which is his distinguishing characteristic, declared that allhe was bound to pay was 5s awr M. When the case camo into Court, Mr Inderwick, who is a leading Queen's Counsel, did not deem it inconsistent with his feelings as a gentleman to declare in open court that all the provision that "was wanted for the only child of one of the richest" men in South America was a bastardy order ! The Court took a different view of tbe matter, and sent the question down to Mr Registrar Middleton for decision. Here Mr Lang worthy was represented by Mr Middleton, jun., and the son, in cross-examining Mrs Langworthy before his father, the Registrar, Wfts good enough to suggest that 10s a week — that is a double bastardy order—might «nfflce to educate and maintain the heiress of the Lansworthy estates '. The Registrar took some time to make his decision, but yesterday it was filed in Court. He awards Mrs Langworthy £100 per annum for the maintenance of the child from the granting of the decree nisi two years ago—that is to say, he increases her alimony from £1,200 to £1,300 per annum—and then orders that after the decree is made absolute, an allow ance of £500 per annum shall be paid in monthly instalments. That is something different from the bastardy order of Mr Inderwick or the 10s a week suggested by Mr Middleton.

Of course, as the Court is dealing with a man false and mean beyond all precedent, who, moreover, is at this moment in bank ruptcy, it goes without saying that the decree will not be made absolute until the £500 per annum fixed by the Registrar is actually settled on "the alleged child," who remains in the custody of her mother. There is another point which now comes up for consideration. Why should Gladys Langworthy be branded a bastard, even with an allowance of £500 a year, merely because Mr Langworthy obtained possession of the person of her mother by a fraudulent. marriage, for which he richly deserves the two years' hard labour pre scribed by the Criminal Law Amendment Act for men who procure intercourse by fraudulent pretences? The marriage at Antwerp was declared by Sir James Hannen to have in every respect, save that of the formalities prescribed byßelgianlaw, all the essentials 01 a proper marriage ceremony. Dr. Potts performed it in perfect good faith, according £6 the faith of the Presby terians of America, and $Irs Lan'g worthy were not the only couple whom he married. There is a record wyW£ ?yidence

i# Court of at least two other English couples whose marriages in fact are, through no fault of theirs, and through no fault of Dr. Potts, null and void, in law. Under those circumstances it has been gravely considered by counsel whether an Antwerp Marriage Conrirmatipn Bill ought not to be passed without more delay. Of course, go far as Mrs Langworthy is concerned, the day after her marriage was confirmed by Act of Parliament, her status affirmed, her child legitimised, she would be bound to commence proceedings for judicial separatiozi on the score of desertion and cruelty. But none the less is this act of justice one which may rightly be looked for, even from an overworked Parliament. As Mr Picton said two months ago : — There were sometimes cases of extra ordinary suffering or gross personal wrong which did indirectly affect the common wealth, and create a scandal of sufficient magnitude and public interest to be dealt with by a special Act of Parliament. It was suggested that the power of Parlia ment could not be better employed than in passing an Act to relieve the misery of an individual created by the special brutality and villainy of one man, on the ground that such unpunished villainy was a public shame and a scandal. This Mr Picton intimated was in his opinion a much better use of parliamentary gower than the passing of the Duke of onnaught's Relief Bill. Comparisons are odious, and there is no need to make them in the present instance. The legalisation of the Antwerp marriages is a simple measure of public justice and of public utility. Parliament has passed many Mar riage Confirmation Bills, among others one for marriages legally invalid that were contracted in Fiji as late as 1878. Notice to ask for leave to introduce such a bill has been' given in the House of Commons, and the bill will probably be laid on the table without any delay. In view of the ex traordinary public interest taken in the case, the scandalous fashion in which Mr Lang worthy had set our courts at defiance, and the possible suffering and litigation that may be occasioned by the invalidity of the other marriages celebrated by Dr. Potts, we venture to express a hope that Parlia ment will pass without opposition a measure so simple and so just.

The A. J.C Meeting.

[special message.]

Sydney, Saturday. The first day's racing in connection with the A.J.C. meeting took place at Rand wick to-day. The weather was fine, and the racing throughout of an ex cellent character. About 12,000 persons were present. The Hon. Mr White suc ceeded in winning three events out of the six on the programme. The race for the Derby drew out seven starters, and was splendidly contested, though Abercorn won easily at the finish. Enfilade was far too gross in condition, and did not move freely. Niagara ran splendidly, and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed when the horses entered the straight. Petails.of the racing are appended:—

CORRESPONDENCE.

Devonport Water Supply. -Mr John Milne sends another letter on this subject. He says : "lam very averse to continuing any controversy on the above subject, but the reply of the Mayor to my letter needs a few words of explanation. It is, 1 sup pose, nearly six months since I signed a requisition to the Mayor to call a public meeting to consider the question of a water supply for the district. This was got up after the failure of the well experiment, and when- it was thought the matter was likely to drop. A few days after the receipt of the requisition by the Mayor I met him incidentally near his own office, when he informed me he had received it, and also that the Council had taken the matter in hand by instruct ing their engineer to prepare plans and estimates for a supply from the Lake. 1 replied I was glad to hear it, and that 1 considered it did away with the necessity for holding a public meeting, and no meet ing was held, and so far as I was concerned there was an end of the requisition. Now as to what I wrote about the engi neer was in his official capacity, and 1 should have written exactly the same had the office been filled by either Mr A.B. or Mr CD. I was careful never to mention the name of Mr Knox, and I am sorry the Mayor has done so. The real position ot matters is this: Theofficeof engineens in the appointment of the Council, and when once an election has taken place it is the duty ot the Council to give the person elected their undivided support. They may differ as much as they like and divide as often as they choose about the appointment, bub when a person is once elected he becomes their officer, and is clearly entitled to their support. The real question at issue appears to be as to whether this support has been given, and given in the generous manner it ought to be."' Mr Milne proceeds to discuss the Mayor's letter at length, and says :—" I think we are entitled to ask who is responsible for this supposed ' prejudice againsb the engineer V He is reputed to be a man of ability, quite equal to the re quirements of such a borough as Devonport. It appears to me the interests of all parties would be best served by that portion of the Council now opposed to the engineer and his scheme withdrawing their opposition and helping on the work."

The Litany at Evening Service.

(To the Editor.)

Sib, —Your correspondent, "W.R.8.," will excuse me for reminding him that after morning prayer is not the same as at morn ing prayer. It is true that the Litany used to be said only in the morning, but the new Act of Uniformity licenses its freer use, either in the morning or in the evening, or as a separate service. Whether such a modification of ancient practice is, or is not, expedient, I do not presume to say; bub it may safely be as serted that the incumbent of St. Sepulchre's is prompted by a desire, not to suit his own convenience, but rather to meet the require ments of the many who never attend morn ing service. I heartily share in the desire of your correspondent to maintain the unity of the Catholic Church; but surely this change is warranted by the terms of the 34th article, which says :—" Every particular or national church hath authority to ordain, change, and abolish ceremonies or rites of the Church ordained only by main authority, so that all things be done to edifying."— I am, etc., S.

Mr Shera and Education.

(To thq Editor.)

Sir, —I should like to clearly understand what Mr Shera ineanb by his answer to question 2 at his meeting on Thursday evening last;. He said, if correctly reported, that he believed in a national system of educatipn, and"f could not see how they could have at the same time a denomina tional system ; still he would consider care fully any hill brought forward calculated to deal ivith the question of assisting Roman Catholic schools, if up to the standard. I think, sir, that the latter part of his answer points clearly to the probability of his being found assisting in the introduc tion of denominational education. This being so, it is of the utmost importance for electors, before recording a vote for him or any other candidate, to make perfectly sure that he is sound upon so vital a subject. The battle of secular versus denominational education was fought out by Auckland West in the contest between Messrs G oldie and Dignan, and the result should have caused it to have been buried for ever ; but it appears that it is not so. If Mr Shera means therefore to tamper with the present Act, with a view to introduce denominationaHsm of the worst kind, let the electors speak out as they did on a previous.occasion, and give him to understand that City West is not going to be a traitor to herself in so noble a cause as that of the education of her children.—Yours, &c, Asr Electok of City West. .

By-Laws in Parnell.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Will you kindly answer the following questions through your Answers to Corres pondents column, for the benefit of myself and several more of your readers ? For what purpose have the building by-laws been brought into force in the several boroughs? Are they (1) for the protec tion and safety of the public against owners of properties encroaching on the streets, or putting up unsafe buildings ? or (2) as a direct tax on. improvements, and an easy way of raising more revenue? I added a small lean-to 28 or 30 feet from the street line to the back of a house in Parflell. The job is finished, and now they want me to pay a tax for putting it up. If you think in this case the second ques tion is right, could you recommend me to a solicitor who would drive the proverbial coach and four through the by-law?— Yours, etc.' j C. Ji. Smith.

A Suggestion to Mining Companies.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—As Mr Witheford has placed his front window, near the Post Oflßco, at the dis posal of those interested in the mining in dustry, I would sugge&fc that our leading mines supply a few m'st-clam $«iM speci mens. These, shown in so prominent a position, would be seen by the numbers of English and American visitors who drop into the city and leave without any such opportunity of obtaining information as to the class of gold obtainable on the Thames peninsula. Wealthy men arid literary people, with the briefest possible stay in town, would then be in a position to state from actual observation they had seen golden ore from Auckland mines. At pre sent they come and go in comparative ig noranceof the mineral wealth of the place. —Yours, &c, Advance Auckland. ■ j
