Show Lawsuit Lasted 478 Years. A lawsuit regarding liliodesian mining min-ing rights, which has reached the house of lords in Its fourth year, is quite a legal infant when compared with some that have preceded it. The Thellusson will case, for example, dragged out in the courts from 1797 to 1S57. Another similar action at law, known as the Blshop-Demetra will case, lasted 122 years. Even this, however, how-ever, is not a record, for in 1908 there was settled at Frlema a lawsuit that had been in progress since 1430. The raising of a dam was the point at issue and it occupied the courts for exactly 478 years. |
