WAGES or MINORL—The following decision was
lately mode by the Supreme Court, in Worcester, Mas-
sachusetts. A principle of some importance was settled
is relation to parents and minor children; and as to the
right of the former to wages earned by the latter; and
we understand the Court to have decided, that where-
ever a parent permits his children to contract for wages,
without interfering to claim them, he thereby loses his
right, not only to recover such part of his wages as m,y
have been actually paid to the child, but Orr to any
part which may remain unpaid ; so that he cansot
maintain an action for the subsequent earnings of the
child, and the child only is entitled to receive them to
his own use, free from the patent's controul.
SUCCESSFUL CA St OD TRANSFUSION OP BLOOD.—Mr.
Doubleday, of the Blackfriars-road, who attended her,
having read in the Lancet, of the operation of transfu-
sion which Dr. Blundell lately performed with aces,
determined to make a trial of it on a woman who had
lost a large quantity of blood after labour; her life was
in imminent danger; and, in fact, from all the syrup
tome, there was no probability that she could live more
than three or four hours. He accordingly took a gem-
tity of blood from the arm of her husband, and having
made an opening into the Median vein of the right aim,
proceeded to inject the blood a ith a syringe, in the man-
ner described by Dr. Blundell, in the late experiment.
—The operation was performed without the least diffi-
culty ; and as soon as three charges of the syringe, or
six ounces of blood, had been injected, the woman, who
was a native of the sister kingdcm, exclaimed, " BT
Jesus ! I feel as strong as a bull r The syringe was
rep!enished several times; and upon the whole, fourteen
ounces of blood were injected. Mr. D ,nbleday then
very judiciously &continued the injection,as the patient
began to experience a slight pain in the head. The woman
shalt!), alter declared that she felt herself well enough
to get up find walk. Not one bad symptom his super-
vened since the operaiion.—Glasgow Afeckanici Meg.

Charles 11. had attempted to shew the possibility ofd
voyage to the Moon. The D ichess of Newcastle. Id°

him thus, •' My Lord, suppose you were able to can!

" Madam," said he, " of all people in the

should not have expected that question from you, ell°
have built so many castles in the air, that you might
sleep every night in one of them."
