A POintin Breach-Ol-PrOmis
Law.
ST.. James Ga7ette.l

~. Jamea 6azette.i
The recently reported case of
Diicham vs.. Morrell, in London. is
one which youthful lovers may study
with profit. The point in issue was
whether the fixing Of the wedding day
was a ratification Of a promise TO maj,
~ or an evidence ofa fresh promise.
The actual promise to marry was made
when the plaintiff and defendant we're
under age, and no time for the happy
event was fixed. For some
years these two young people remained
engaged-th being after the defend
ant had passed the age of twenty-one.
Then at last the day was liked, but
before il arrived tbe defendant refused
to perform his promise. and h.. :co =; ,ae
4v..va. 1, mas been decided that a
promise to marry falls within the
infants relief act, and cannot be
ratified after the person charged
by it has attained twenty one.
Hence, in order to give a good
ground of action, the lady must
make out that after the gentleman has
ittained twenty one he has made q
fresh promise This in the case o.
Ditcham VS. Morrell. Lord Coloridg,
wa, ofopirion the circumstances die
not show 70 have been done; while Mr.
Justice Lindley and Mr.. Justice Den
ham came to the opposite conclusion
Consequently, if the majority of the
court decided rightly, it is clear tina.
very slight evidence is enough to show
that a new promise has been made. bu.
it may be doubted whether the pres
cnt decision will be widely followed as
a precedent.
