The firat court in Venango County was held, Dec. 10, IHO3, and at a specal meeting of the Venango County Bar Association. • held on Wednesday, in pursuance of a call issued by the presi dent, Hon. James Denton Han COCK, it was decided to arrange Jfor the proper observance of the 100 th anniversary of the establishment of the courts of Ve nantro county. By direction of the meet ing, a committee of five was constitn ed to make the arrangements, and the president appointed Judge C. Heydrick, Judge George S. Criswell, J. H. Osmer, Isaac Ash and F. W. Hayes. The date for the affair has not yet been decided upon. The lawyers of Pennsylvania are all interested in a decision made by the State Supreme Court, last month in a case in which a woman, although alive, was declared, legally dead. The de cision reverses the opinion of the super ior court and the common pleas court of Berks county, which declared an act of IHBS unconstitutional. A number of of similar cases have been pending. The litigation was started in Reading, Pa., when the Berks county orphans court, under the act of 1885, declared that Mrs. Margaret Cunnius, of Read ing, who in IXBB had disappeared and. being not beard of afterward was legally dead. This was done in 1H97. she had a dower interest in some property and the money was paid to the administra tors. In 1899 intelligence came from SanFraneisco that the woman was alive and living there. She employed Attor ney Caleb J. Bieber, of Reading, to re cover her dower interest. Suit was brought and Jndge G. A. Endlishdecid ed that the woman was alive and entit led to her dower. The case was appeal ed and the superior court sustained Judge Endlish. Again the defendant appealed and this time was sustained by the supreme court. The case attracted widespread attention in this and other States,, becanse of the legal principle involved -the right of courts to deprive persons of their property. Under the act of 1 KBr», after an absence of seven years without any intelligence being re ceived of a missing person, the courts may appoint an administrator of the missing person's estate, and the person be adjudged legally dead. The com mon pleas and superior courts in decid ing that the woman was alive held that the act of 1W was in opposition to the fourteenth amendment of the United States, and therefore void. Since the act of 1885 has been in force several adjudications have deen made under it in Western Pennsylvania. Under the ruling of the supreme court these pro ceedings can be revoked by the parties interested through due process of law. PROPERTY TRANSFERS.
