When the metal button yielded to

the metal button makers so besieged
Parliament by their shrieking en-
treaties to be saved from ruin
that law was passed which made 1t
illegal for tailor to sew on to q suit
of clothes any button made of cloth,
serge, camlet, or any other stuff. J"
Unless this law was swept away by the
enactment which recently abolished ell
laws that had become practically obso-
lete, this button act is still In force, and
we believe it to be so. About half g
dozen years ago q tailor, named Shirley,
sued, in the Marylebone county court, a
customer named King for go t$45), the
price of a suit OF clothes made for the
latter. The defendants counsel asked
the tailor Of what material the buttons
were made, and on being told that they
were of cloth or silk on horn molds, he
remarked that by the law made for the
protection of the Birmingham button
makers. not only could the tailor not
recover, but If the defendant chose to
sue for the penalties, the plaintiff would
have to pay forty shilling for every
dozen Of such buttons sewed on by him.
The judge agreed, and the tailor was
non suited.
