Their mother LEVEE RUINED, Montreal, June 12.—J udge Lcet, who i considers that his (minion) with regard to the Hebert marriage case and the "ne tenlere" decree hits been quoted in such a way as to create a misunderstanding has issued a letter to the prey 10 expla- nation of his position. He upholds the ruling of the courts a,s regards the legal invalidity of the marriage of two Cath- olics by a Protestant minister, but con- tends that this ruling has no applica- tion to mixed marriages. The courts, he says, cannot endorse the "ne temere' contention with regard to the marriage of a Catholic to a Protestant. After discussing the legal history he concludes: "Until the 'ne temere' decree there was never any question in this country as to the validity of the marriage of,it Catholic with a Protestant by a Protest- ant minister, and 1 do not think there is any danger of the court's upholcliug the pretension of the decree. The decree will only cause heartburnings and social dtf• ficrr.lties that the law ran hardly aea1 with. It is only a dogma of the. C htu•eh which the law does not recognize and is not likely to recognize." President of Slocum Company Be* wails Ilis Sad Fate. Tome o despatch: "They have ruined nee financially," said L. 8.
