Lord Aylesford's suit.


Points fr the Address of the Judge Civ
ing Judgment.
from the London Daily Newsl
In the Queens Bench division of the High
Court of Justice. yesterday, before MIR. JUS
tice Day, the case of 'tFearon against the
Earl of Aylesford" came on for Judgment.
The action was brought by Mr.. Fearon, as
trustee for Lady Aylesford, under deed of
separation, which settled on her an annuity
of $500, and contained, among other cove
nants one to the effect that Lady Aylesford
should not molest the defendant in future.
The plaintiff now sought to recover arrears
of the annuity amounting to e475. The de
fendant resisted the claim on the ground of
alleged breach of the covenant not to molest,
and puk forward a counter claim for damages
in respect of that breach. The molestation
relied upon consisted in the fact of Lady
AyIesford giving birth to an illegitimste
child, of which the reputed father was the
Marquis of Blandford, now the Duke of
Marlborough. and naming this child Lord
Guernsey, that being the courtesy title of the
Earl of Aylesford. On the trial of the case
before Mr.. Justice Day and jury, the jury
found for the plaintiff on the claim, but also
foand that there had been molestation, and
gave the defendant damages to the extent of
eiO0 on his counter claim in that respect.
The question as to how judgment should be
entered on these findings was subsequently
argued before his lordship, who reserved his
Judgment till now.
Mr.. Justice Day, in giving Judgment, said
in the case, the jury having found that Lady
Aylesford had molested the defendant, the
only matters to be determined now were
whether such molestation was defense &c
the action or was available only on the coun-
ter claim by way of damages, or whether i
would be available in any way in an actor
brought to recover the annuity. The plain

The Elastic skin Man.

Herr Haag, the "elastio skin man." was
driven out in q closed carriage yesterday
afternoon, to the University of Pennsylvania,
to undergo an examination before 200 medi-
cal students. Professor J. William White
and L. A. Duhripg were waiting at Spruce
street entrance to the chemical department.
DR.. White said that he had made prelimi-
nary examination of the mans skin, and was
satisfied that it was of sufficient interest to
bring before the class. 1.-THE man is an un-
common anomaly, "said DR.. White, in address,
ing the students, land is a subject whose like
you will never see again. He is healthy and
well nourished. and there is no absence of fat
condition that we would naturally look for.
He can be classed as ARCHAEOLOGICAL subject,
but is not afflicted with real dermstolysis
because his flesh appears like yours and nine
and does not lie in folds His condition is
congenital. I might say here that the term
elastic SKIN man is something of misnomer
the movable skin would be better name
and more expressive of the curious condition.
because you will notice that he is able to
cover his face with the skin of his chest,
drawing it from the sternum and ribs. The
only explanation presentable, and one in
which DIR. Duhrfng concurs, is that there in
some anomaly in the arrangement of the
hbres between the coreum, or true skin,
and the subcutaneous tissue" DIR. Duhrinr
said that the only case on record was that Of
Spaniard, who, in 1926, was exhibited be-
fore the medical fraternity and pronounced
to be marvel Since then there have been
no such cases known.
When the physicians had finished speaking
Herr Haag twisted the skin of his arm into a
heshy rope, pulled the skin down and made
a sheet of it, covered his face with the skin
of his chest, drew the flesh of his cheeks into
long spears, covered his eyes with the skin of
his forehead and then, after receiving round
of applause. bowed and retired

ASTONISHING DOCTRINE.

The newspapers of Cincinnati have con-
tanned some queer stuff since the riot. They
| have attacked the authorities for calling out
the militia, and have more than limited that
| if the mob had hung a few murderers good
thing would have been done. The CONNER
cial-Gazette says: 'tAgainst a popular mass
having no worse impulse than justice against
murderers there was no call to take the des-
perate hazard of oops, or of the public
safety, or of property" We are assured that
f'the rational probability is that they (the
mob) would have stopped with the execution
of a few of the most notorious murderers." !"
Justice and law would then have been vindi7
Gated, and there would have been no occa-
sion for 'lasting resentment for the slaughter
of innocent citizens to save iailful of mur-
derers"
This is astonishing doctrine to be preach
ed in a city from which the traces of blood
and fire resulting from mob demonstration
have not yet been removed. It is astonish.
ing doctrine for anybody who is supposed to
be supporter of law and order to preach
anywhere and at any time. Ii such utter
ances accurately reflect public sentiment in
Cincinnati then the city is in bad wsy. If
the law abiding people Of Cincinnati would
prefer, rather than the situation Of to-day,
that which would have been had the first
assault on the Jail resulted in the capture and
summary execution of the convicted murder
ers there confined, it is easy to understand
why the mob did what it did, and why fault
is found with the authorities for calling out
the militia. But whatever the good people
of Cincinnati think one thing is certain. 1t
will not do to encourage or sympathize with
mobs An unsuccessful mob :. is q
terrible thing, but a successful one
is still worse. The Brooklyn Union
puts the case well when it says: II Cincin-
nati's jailful of murderers had been hanged
every one of them, without legal process,
the reign of order in that city would have
been far less secure to-day than it is with
the murderers safe and forty five citizens
killed to vindicate the right of even the
worst criminal to the protection of the laws.
Be the administration of the law ever SO i'm
potent, it is only to SOW the seeds of worse
abuses to attempt its refor m by other than
the constitutional methods of public agi
tation. If the majority of the commun-
lty be SO corrupt or SO ignorant that
