The VALUE OF a BEAED-A novel case
was that Of Cox against Eayres recently heard
before the Supreme Court at Rutland. Cox
was convicted Of an oilepsc under the Huuor
law and sentenced To pay a fine in II hours
or be committed TO the house Of correction,
and was placed in the custody of the sheriff
for satc-keepng during the 81 hours. The
shofin took him To the house of correction
and left him. The superintendent, Eayre.,
explained to HIM that by waving the 2l-hour
privilege and being committed at once 10
would save costs. Cox agreed 10 he com
mitted at once. Under the rules Of the insti-
tuition, his bead, a very heavy one, worn foI
fifteen years, was removed Cox protested
but without avail. From this shaving a sore
throat resulted which endangered CoN's life.
He sued the superintendent for $4,000. At
the trial last Fall Judge Ross told the Jury
that Cox had 4 right 10 waive the 24-hour
privilege, and the jury found for the defend
ant. The supreme court has reversed that
decision, Judge Picrpoint holding that the
law committed the prisoner from certain
time Ia 4 certain time and that he or no other
power could commit him before, that any
uIc shaving him without his consent before
that time WAS liable and sent the case back
for new trial. The result will doubtless be a
heavy verdict, rs The proof Of the damage is
clear
