Shortly afterwards the lady visits England with Baton Poppins, and they are united according to nar law, thongh Mr. Josen is stili slive. Two chil dron were born, and in 1850 M. Coppine is de ported. On his return to France the incon Atant fair one demunads and obtains separa- tion, and the gentleman, on the ground that the English marriage hud takes place while both parties know that Mr. Joson was in being, demauds and obtains a deovee of nallity of marriage. The two sons, now 30 years of age, are compelled to bear the dame of Joson, on the ground that children born during marriage nocessarily belong their mother's husband. Mr. Josen. hating been dead some years, and his relations having claimed his property, the affair premises con. siderablo difficulty, since, in order to carry their olnim, they must show that the birth of these two unfortunate young men was coun pletely unknown to the busbaud.
