contracted new ones, and moreover that he was young, and might by his labor procure for himself sufficient resources. The tribunal, however, decided that De Brimont was without means of existence, and that as his own mother was not in a position of fortune to assist her son and granddaughter, the plaintiff had a right to an alimentary pension from his wife's parents, and consequently condemned them to pay an annual sum of 18,000f., of which 6000f., is for M. de Brimont, and 12,000f. for his infant daughter. - The Law Times, Sept. 11, 1869.
