Does a Man Own His Keadl

From the Medlcal and Surgical Reporter
One of the questions which an Englishman re-
Gently left his heirs to quarrel over was the
right to his head The deceased had sold it to
the local physician in consideration of his pay
ing the funeral expenses. and when the time
came for the delivery to be made he called for it
but the heirs, who said they were perfectly
willing to pay the funeral expenses themselves
demurred, and refused to carry out the agree
ment. The aid ofthe courts was then invoked,
and at last accounts the matter was not de-
cided. In the meantime, the value of the head
for purposes of dissection, if that is what the
physician wanted it for, is rapidly diminishing
and soon will be of no value whatever. The
English courts have at various times held that
there could be no property, in the ordinary
sense in which the term is used in a dead BODY:
and the interesting question now comes up
whether the ownership, such as it is, is vested
in the person himself or in his representatives.

We say without hesitancy, that
those men who were false to their

Mr.. Mallory is a gentleman, and
an honest man, and if these faith

a successful future. We say this
