RE LUKE OF MARMIER WEDS Francis Merquis de Marmier
Paris dispatch details the engagement of Francis Merquis de Marmier to the daughter of the Count and Countess Guttau. The 40s veteran major of the 1st Regiment of infantry is tied to a past Besancon attack where valuables and papers vanished, hinting at secret defence notes captured by thieves. The Marmier family, tied to the Choiseul line, wields historic peers' seats amid high profile lawsuits including the Anne de Marmier case against the Contades family over a fortune and odd dolls obsessions.
