Has A WIFE ANY PEcUNIARY VALUE 7
We ought perhaps 10 beg pardon Of our
fair readers for entertaining for a moment
this question, which we assure them was
not one of our own propounding. But n
case involving this point was tried at the
Oneida IN. " Court, on the l3:h in
stant, in which .he plaintiff sought TO re
cover from the Budson River Railroad
Company, damages Tor the loss Of his
wife. who WAS killed while on an express
train on ths, road, way train having
run into the one upon which size WAS
travelling. The demand was for 81, 900,
the manimum allowed by law for the loss
Of a single life. The defence set up was
that no peeuniary damages had been sus
tanned. The jury to whom His case was
committed had, it appears, toIerable
appreciation Of the value OF a wife, and.
We doubt not, were happy in their do
mesdc relations for they finally awarded
damages to the amount OF 81 900 TO the
beresved husband. This settles The ques.
lion that wife has pecunisry value
aside from the amount Of gold she may
possess, and will afford TO many q hus.
band, who had supposed himself utterly
insolveni, much consolation.
