AN ORIENTAL JURISTS WISDOM.
Subtle Discrimination In a Cnse Where q
Cat Was the Culprit.

Subtle Discrimination In n Case Where q
Cat Was the Culprit.
DR.. Henry M. Scudder relates in a Lon
don paper a case OF Oriental Justice that
could hardly be outdone for sharp and
subtle Determinations. -Four men, partners
in business, bought some cotton bales. That
the rats might not destroy the cotton, they
purchased cat. They agreed that each of
the four should own particular leg of the
cat; and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg tbus apportioned to him.
The cat, by an accident, injured one of its
legs. The owner of that member wound
about rag soaked with oil. The ca going
too near the fire, set the rag on fire, and,
being in great pain, rushed in among the
cotton bales where she was accustomed to
hunt rats. The cotton thereby took fire and
was burned up. 1t was total loss The
three other partners brought an action to
recover the value of the cotton against the
fourth partner who owned the particular
leg of the cat
The Judge examined the case and decided
thus: "The leg that had the oil rag on it
was hurt; the cat could not use the leg-in
fact, it held up that leg and ran with the
other three legs. The three unhurt legs
therefore carried the fire to the cotton, and
are alone cuIpable. The injured leg is not
to be blamed. The three partners who
owned the three legs with which the cat ran
to the cotton will pay the whole value of
cotton to the partner who was the proprie-
tor of the injured leg"
