A March 7 proposal before the Chamber of Deputies from Normandy and Brittany calls for six new crosses for the Legion of Honor with annuities for life saving acts. Natives of France would be eligible, awards to be presented to those who saved lives on sea or land.

In separate notes, Christie’s sold watercolors from the Tatham collection for notable sums including Walkers Harbor Refuge at 154 dollars and Windor Castle at 8925 dollars.

They argued the censor harms English drama and culture, proposing a court of first instance with three arbitrators including the author, lord chancellor, and a third chosen by the other two.
