In the University Law Review some


In the University Law Review some
interesting figures are collected as to
the pecuniary value OF life and limb
as estimated in the courts within the
last five years. The value OF life is
in some States fixed by law, and New
York is one of the States which does
not allow tie recovery Of more than
$4,000 for the loss of llfo il suit
against tie person or corporation
through whose negligence the loss oc-
cured. This figure seems strangely
low, since five times that amount has
been allowed in this State rs compen-
sation for the loss of limb. Fifteen
thousand dollars has been held not ex-
cessive for the life of ali intelligent
Young man in Kentucky, and verdict
for like amount has been sustained
in Tennessee when the life was that of
u postman and express agent, thirty
three wears old, though verdict for
Sl2. 900 was held excessive in the same
State where the life lost was that of a
weak man fifty-seven years old. The
courts allow less for the loss Of a
drunkard's 5 life and more for the life
of an industrious and steady man. The
lives of children are usually valued at
from $4,000 to $1,000. In Illinois the
loss of an eye has been compensated
for by $4,000, and of two eyes by $4,000.
In New York verdict of $l4, 900 for
the loss of an eye and Disagreement OF
the face has been sustained. In this
State, also, it has been held that S65OO
for the loss of hand is not excessive.
Two thousand dollars was held to be
the proper amount for the impairment
of the use of a hand in Louisiana. The
New York courts have usually been
liberal in allowing verdicts for dam
ages. A verdict for $40, 900 for the
loss of the arm of m eight-year-oid
boy has been held proper. Texas
;uries are even more liberal and the
courts in that State have upheld a ver-
dict for $40, 900 for injury to one arm
and other wounds An allowance of
S11 800 for the loss of the leg OF man
e;obtv wears old was held not exces-
s;ve in this State, and one of Sl5, 900
for an injury to the limb of woman
or twentv-seven was also held not ex-
cessiye. A verdict of S12, 600 for the
loss of leg by boy five years OLD
WAS also approved in this State and
one of $25, 900 for a similar injury was
not disturbed In Wisconsin YER
dict of $50, 900, for the loss OF both
legs of a boy WAS reduced to $lo'ooo,
and n verdict of 800, 75O was reduced
70 s10. 7bO for an injury to a mans leg
IN n Western State. The loss OF the
leg of boy was regarded as worth
' s15, 900 in the Illinois courts
