A CURIOUS LAW CASE.
A CURIOUS law case, which has arisen out of the recent earthquake at Diano Marino, will shortly bo decided before an Italian court. Two adjoining bouses at Diano Marino, belonging to two different families, were destroyed by tho earthquake, and tho inhabitants wero all killed. When tho ruins and corpses wero removed, tho sum of -£209,000 in gold and bank notes was found among the debris. As it was impossible to ascertain to which house the money belonged, and as no member of either family was saved, to decide the matter tho surviving relatives have brought their cases before the judges, whoso decision is expected in Italy with much interest.
