The KALBFLEIcH BREACH OF PROMISE SUrT.
Judge Nelson, Of New York, in the breach of
promise suit brought by Mrs. Wade against
Mr.. Kabheich's estate, decided that the death
Of the latter concluded the proceedings. The
point of the decision is that promise Of mar
riage is a civil contract, and repudation Of
that promise is therefore breach of contract
Being personally liable and no more. the indi-
vidual breaking the contract can be mulcted in
damages. But there being no actual injury of
person on the part of the plaintiff, her suit can
not follow the survival, by his estate, of the
deceased defendant
