$80,000 for Witting

than wots the miller of.

Titus Andronicus. Of thrifty French millers this is anything but true. They wot of every gallon and rush to law for their rights. Last week the Miller of Denan near Lille, all witting M. Doisy, won his 25-year-old suit against the French State for water which has not flowed over his mill since 1908. Though the State will appeal, it was ordered last week to pay costs, plus 50,000 francs for experts' fees, 500,000 for damages and 700,000 francs interest on these damages since 1911 to Miller Doisy who based his claim on a water grant more than 1,000 years old.
