Mylius was charged with dlstrillutw
ator" a Paris publication edited by
third it. James and in whtéb it was at-
lege‘d that his majesty while’ Prince of
Wales had contracted. a mot-genetic
marriage with the elder daughter of
Admiral Sir Michael Seymour at Mai-
tll in 1890.
Then rown called the admiral as a
witness and he testified that the
daughter in question, now the wife of
Captain Naphier. of the Iiritish Navy,
had never seen his majesty until My
98. when the king called upon the wit-
ness at Portsmouth. His only other
daughter died in. fifth and for three
years preceding her debth had been
with her father at Malta. wherehe was
commander in chief of the Mediterran.
eau squadron. The him; had not
visited Malta while his daughters were
t ore and the younger daughter had
i or spoken to him. .
The proéecntlon was conducted by
Sir Rufus isaacs, the attorney~general.
assisted by Sir John A. Simon soli-
t-itor- ”general and Attorneys Royiatt
and Muir.
Mylius had no counsel, looking after
his own defense. lie depended chief-
ly on the assertion that prIVate papers
that might be used against him had
been lawfully seized and demanded
their return. This was refused.
The defendant had also sought to
have the king subpoenaed as a wit-
ness, but Chief Justice Alverstone rule
ed against the defendant.
In a dramatic speech Sir Rufus char
aeterlzed the story of the morgauatic
marriage as absolutely false regretted
that his majesty was not permitted
personally to facehls slanderers. and
concluded with the declaration that
the suit had not been brought to pro-
tool the monarchy. but that King
Getorge had sought Ihe protection of
the court as a man. a husband and a
father
it did take the jury long to find
Mylius guilty of circulating a libel and
the court forthwith condemned him to
one year's imprisonement.
After the sentence had been passed
Sir Rufus read it‘letter signed by King
George and authorising the attorney-
general to state publicly that the wri-
ter had never been married except to
Queen Mary; had never gone through
a ceremony except with the queen;
and that he would have attended the
proceedings to give evidence to this
effect except for the advice of the law
officers of the Crown that it would be
unconstitutional for him to do so.

reason for the desired change. No

A more uniform assessment has been
secured and the people benefited by

John F. Moore here raised a point

the objection was not sustained by

Mr. Keene closed by telling that he
