When Can a Man Strike Back Ac-
cording to Law.

Judge Stone, In a recent assault and
battery case, IN his charge said that It
seems to be a growing belief, that has
ever obtained in high places, judging
from some recent occurrences, that
when one man strikes another, the
other has the right to strike back
The law gives him no such right un-
less he strikes in self-defense. The
old common law went so far as to re-
quire man when attacked to retreat
to u wall or until he could retreat no
further before he turned to defend
himself. even if such retreat should en-
danger his life. AS laid down now a
man who sees himself about to be at
tackled, and can fin Il no other way of
avoiding it, may anticipate the blow
by striking first. That is self-defense
If u man, however, strikes another
and turns away, it does not give the
attacked party the right to follow
after and strike in return. That is not
self.defensc, but assault and battery.
at is not very American" admitted
the Judge, "to turn away after being
struck without striking back, nor is it
human nature, especially with some OF
us Irlsh-Americans, and 1 might ad-
wise n liberal Judgment where such are
the circumstances, but the law and
common sense teach us that neither
an epithet nor blow that could be
avoided will warrant a blow in return
or continuation of quarrel" In
this case he expressed the opinion that
the prosecutor was equally guilty with
the defendant, and that the affair wa.
most disgraceful one, and there
should be an information against the
prosecutor as well. The jury divided
the costs.

Eleven years our daughter suffered
on bed of misery under the care of

ticularly, giving its composition and manner
of working, work performed, and time con-
