A MEDICAL QUEsTIoN.-rhe medical and legal
profession will be satisfied to find that judicial
decision has been made at Lancaster, Penn, which
settles long mooted point in both professions
The case was a trial in which the prosecutrix, who
charged the defendant with being the father OF her
egitimate child testified that the last time he was
in her company, was on the 22d day of March, A.
ID. lS45, and that the child was born on the 30th
Of January, 1885, both the mother and child being
in healthy condition. Many authorities were read
upon the period Of CESSATION and thirteen able doc
tors testified to the same point; a majority of them
denied that the period ever excluded more than a
few days beyond nine calender months or two hun
bred and seventy three days; excepting from some
unnatural cause, as mal.formation, &c The Judge
charged the jury, a matter of law, that the I'M
usual length oitime (40 days beyond the ordinary
perlod) was no obstacle to the conviction ofthe de-
PENDANT, and he was accordingly convicted. A
medical spectator in the Union and Sentinel, re-
marking upon the case, says:
This is an important case, being the first lime
in America, where by Judicial decision it has been
established that CESSATION may be protracted TO
3l3 days in perfectly natural case, ending. in a
safe and natural birth"
