FORGED ORDERS.
PAPAL ANNULMENTS OF MARRIAGES. ELABORATE! ORGANISATION DISCLOSED. ay CABLE--PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT Received 11.55 a.m. to-day. LONDON, March 18. The' Paris correspondent of “The Times” says: “The arrest of a Norman noble, Vicomte de Gosson, of Varennes, disclosed a flourishing business in forged Papal annulments of marriages, patents of nobility, certificates for foreign and French orders. Sabitier, Vicar-General for the Archbishop of Paris, noticed an increase in dispensatory re-marriages and traced the forgeries to Gosson, who asserted that he sold them on the distinct- understanding that they were not genuine. Search of his villa revealed an elaborate organisation, capable of supplying titles of any order for £l2O to £4BO, annulments of marriages for £2OO. The remarriages placed the celebrants in an embarrassing position.—“ Times.”.
