A QUESTION FOR CASUIST&
. . . . . .

The ;is-eel-ion which
would tu,vc deFghted the schoolmen came before • very
practical Vice.Ohano•lior on baturday last A fisthe.-i.
died, leaving certain money in trust far his son Mei
his life, with remainder in trust for his aon's lawf
issue. The son died, leaving, among other issues. a pregnant
but unmarried daughter. Eleven days after the roes
death his daughter married, and six months afterwarda
she gave birth to • child, who, being born in wedlock, ass
undoubtedly one of the lawful bane of theme, and sco3rl-
- claimed a share in the trust fund. Here, then. was
the 'lntim, ;Mance Alma. The child says, "1 am legiM
mate, and l was .11 venire u.o neer, when the fund hearse
divisible ;'' the other issue say, "True it ia you ate Wilt.
mate, but if you had been born —and it is- Tour came that
you were constructively bern—at the period of dietributior4
you would have been illegitimate." The Vim-Chancellor
held that the child was not entitled. The point ia not free
from a certain kind of diSculty, but it is easy to eee that
the Vice-Chancellor's view-is open to very grave objections
The law of ngland conalders every child born in wed
lock as legitiMate ; and, tltough beg:bitten before inamitd;
a child born after marriage can inherit as heir or take i
share of an intestate's personality. It seems to follow that
tor every purpose such a child should rank with the ether
legitimate children, one of such purposes being to antedate
it. birth to the time of it. conception; and its birth lithe
birth of g legitimate child. The point seems a maul ,d 0
and does not appear tcp have bean coverts' by authuity
yet the recta rqust bare occurred in many instanm„,
especially in referenoe to real estate. 4n.1 if the Vi64`
Chancellor's view la correct there la • Raw in many &title.
The only argument that seems to us to have any weight
in favour of the decision in the recent cam i• derived from
the position which would be occupied by truatees in the
' event of their having divided property among iaelle
out knowledge of the fact than an unmarried woman
enceinte, the woman marrying before the birth of the
child. But any such argument is, after all, only one of
convenience,ane eaarx nostgh the ziecessity of treat-
ing every legitimate child as being in fast and for all
