French judges have just decided a
most extraordinary will case. A
Fronchtnan of woalth named Travers
had concolvod an intonso hatred for
his country. When he died five years
ago ho willed his property to "the
poor of London" after these words:
"I have always been oppressed In my
native land. I have arrived at the
ago of forty-five, and have nover boon
my own nuwtor. Horrible nation!
Peoplo of cowards and blockheads! I
should like to have milliards to give
to tho English, who are the born ette
mlos of this Idlotio Franco. This Is
clear and to the point." The relatives
of M. Travers naturally disputed this
will on tho ground that the testator
was not of sound mind, and that the
will, boing framed la hatred of France,
was contrary to "public order," and,
lastly, that it could not be carried out
in England na there was no legal rep
resentative of the poor. But the court
, overruled all these objections, and the
appeal subsequently made has just
boon rejected. London Times.
