The longevity of law suits in this conatry is only equalled by tint of lawsuits in the United States, ae iastased by a case recently tried by the Supreme Court of that country. The case, it in state involved immense landed estates in Maryland and it had bear on tho dookota co long that not only the partien who originally! brought the suit aro all dead, but also the defendiote, the counsel on both sides, and nearly all the witnesses. The property was admitted to havó boon once owned by two brother named Crawford, ord of whom was alleged to hoya bapa sonetly married to a cer- Lain Batsoy Taylor. Both brothers died after time, and Botary claimed the property. The claim was dispated by the only relatives of the deceased brothers fmily by the name of Blackburn. Before the case came to be desired, however, Botney Taylor díad, and her abild sen brought the suit. The Blackborns maintained that Betser was not the lawful wife of Thomsa Crawford; that, therefore, the children were illegitimate, and not entitled to a share of the property. The vecords, testimony, and rulings flory volumes. The case was before several courin, and the judges were always divided. At Just it reached the Supreme Court, and the Lower Court haring devided that there was a Iarriage, the Supreme Court affirmed the decision recently, and the Blackburns wers defeated.
