a Legal Decision.

The following anecdots illustrating the
legal subtletyof Hindoo, is told by Dr.
Scuddor, of Brooklyn, formerly mission
ary in India. -Four men, partners in bust
ness, bought some cotton bales. That the
rats might not destroy the cotton, they
purchased II cat. Thoy agreed that each of
tho four should own a particular log of the
cat, and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus apportioncd to him.
The cat, by accident, injured one of its
legs. The owner Of that member wound
around it Il rag soaked in oil. The cat, go
ing too near the hearth, set this rag on fire,
and being in great pain, rushed in among
tho cotton bales where she was accustomed
to hunt rats The cotton thereby took fire
and was burned up. 1t was total loss.
The three other partners brought suit to
recover the value of the cotton, against the
partner who owned this particular ley of
the cat. The judge examined the case and
decided thus The leg that had the oiled
rag on it was hurt the cat could not use
that legg-in fact, it held up the leg, and ran
with The other three legs. The three un-
hurt legs, therefore, carried the fire to the
cotton, and alone arc culpablc. The three
partners who owned the three legs with
which the cat ran to the cotton will pay
the whole value of the bales to tho partner
who was the proprietor of the injured leg.

frog as it lcapcd away, but before it had
got Off the premises, as if in a fit Of jcal-

still noses out toads, and playfully touches
them with his feet to make them jumy

by the frog at lcaping he has insisted or
