NEAR Douglassville, Ca, a few
days ago man was arrested on q
warrant for whipping his wife. When
the case was called for trial he filed
plea that since their marriage, ten
years previous, he had only whipped
her once, and then with his left
hand. The justice of the peace try
ing the case sustained the plea and
dismissed the warrant, holding that
husband has the right to whip
his wife once in ten years if he
does it with his left hand. This de-
cision settles very important marital
rights.
