Friant, late of Bazaine’s staff, The object of Madame Excandon’s memorial is to show that her husband is not personally implicated at all; that the only complaint against him is as executor of his brvther the late Manuel Escandon, Concerning the latter's relations with the government, Madame Escandon makes the following statoment of facts:—fn the year 1852 Mr, R.

These warrants had been created and de. livered to the bondholders in retiabursement of the sum of $600,000 belonging to enid bondholders, but which had been unduly appropriated by the Mexican government to its own use. Now, as the Moxican gov ernment was about to abolish all import duties on cotton, it proposed an arrangement to Mr. Brenan for the pur. chase of said warrants at the rate of $4 50 per cwt of cotton, thus making a sum total of $202,500 for al! the warrants, This amount as well as the price of $4 50 por ewt. was written in full on the contract, #0 a8 to prevent any misunderstanding, The sunt, $202,500, was paid to Mr, Brenan in drafts on Messrs, Baring Brothers & Co, of London, and & portion of these drafts, for the amount of $157,500, waa subsequently negotiated by Don Menu, Feeandvn, and endorsed to bim by Brenan, Now, the Finance Department pretends that the owt. of 0 have becn charged at $450, but only ch must have been the intention of at the time, and the difference of $20,250 tro prices fa now claimed from the estate of andon, who bad had no participation whatto- n the contract, bnt was mnerely a purchaser of tho $157,500 endorsed to him, as they might bave been to any body else, by Brenay, STANCE VIEWS OF LAW J% RECARO® RXACUTORS. ‘This manner of applying the law in Mexico does not seem to be very rational.
