u The Court Of Appeal at Naples has now
before it case of most singular nature. Seve-
raj years ago the Marchioness de Garofollnl died,
leaving by her will an annuity of so forms to be
applied to the maintenance of five favorlte cats;
and the longest liver of them; appointing an old
and faithful servant as a trustee and guardian Of
the feline legatees. In the course of nature four
of them died, leaving beautiful Angora, named
Mroufle, the sole survivor. One day this lnhe-
ritor of 50 forms year disappeared, and soon
afterwards the heirs of the diseased Marchioness
claimed to have transferred to them the capital
from which this splendid income was derived
Compliance with their demand was refused, on
the ground that they could not produce any proof
of the death of the annuitant. They carried their
case before the tribunal of Nola, in which place
the lost Mirouffle and his trustee lived, but Ii
decided against them, delivering its judgment
seriatim, that the plaintiffs could not be entitled
to the principal or interest until they had given
either positive evidence of the demise of the
annuitant, or that SO many years had elapsed
since his birth that, according to the utmost pos
sible longevity of cats, Miroutfie could not be
still alive. Not satisfied with this sage ano
sound decision, the heirs have carried an appeal
up to the Supreme Court of Naples.
