GRAY v. LITTLE.
Supreme Court of North Carolina.

Supreme Court of North Carolina
April II. 1900.
PUNITIVE DAMAGES MAY BE RE
COVERED In AN ACTION
AGAINST a PHYSICIAN FOR AC-
CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF
PLAINTIFFS WIFE BY CARE
LESS. TNIIUAfAN. AND CRUEL
TREATMENT.
The Court says:
The defendant is a practicing ply
Sician and surgeon, and was called to
attend the plaintiffs wife in her child
bed sickness. The evidence is not in the
record in this court, ana there is no
exception to anything at the trial, eX-
cept that part of the charge copied be-
low. The allegation is that the defend
ant, by his careless. negligent, and I'M
skilled conduct, caused great pain and
injury to the plaintiffs intestate (wife),
ana that by inhuman and cruel treat
ment by the defendant the child's
death resulted after delivery, and the
death of the wife was FASTENED and ac-
tolerated. The answer denies these al
legations. The second issue IS, WAS the
death of the plaintiffs intestate caused
by the defendants carclesSness and in
human and cruel treatment as alleged"
The jury answered, Yes; accelerated :"
The third issue Is. What damage, If
any, Is plaintiff entitled to recover?"
Answer. Nominal damages,--5 cents"
His honor. in charging the jury. sub
stantialy followed the charge approved
In Benton V. Railroad Co, and, in addi-
ton thereto. instructed the Jury in
these words: But, in considering the
second issue as to the cause OF the
death of the plaintiffs intestate, IL you
md that the death OF the intestate was
only hastened or accelerated by the acts
or omissions OF the defendant as alleg-
ed. then you are instructed that, in an
ewering the third issue as to damages.
you cannot award the plaintiff any
more than nominal damages.-that is,
such small sum as. for Instance. 5
cents or other small sum,-becausc in
such state of the case. If the death OF
the intestate was only FASTENED or ac
CELEBRATED by the defendant. you could
only respond to this issue in nominal
damages" Exception. The error in that
part of the charge lies in considering
the act eNpedtlng death rs n mere tech
nical injury. That Is not the language
of the law nor of the text books on cri-
minal matters. There are instances in
the commonlaw reports where the ac-
celerator paid the severest penalty
known to the law. We know of no de-
cision Of n final appellate court in this
country declaring otherwise. Consider
Ing the verdict on the second issue, and
such evidence as authorized the Jury to
make that response. 1t seems fortunate
for the defendant that he Is not on trial
for high criminal offcnse. as we'll as
to answer In an action for damages
There must be n new trial as to da-
images only, on the third Issue. Error.

REC1lLESSNESS. OR MALICE ON
THE PART OF DEFENDANT.
This was an action for damages for
failure of defendant to deliver a tele-
gram. From judgment for defandant
plaintiff appealed.
The court says:
The second exception relates to a sub
feet which has occupied the legal mind
for centuries. namely.whether damages
can be recovered for mental suffering
disconnected with, or in the absence
Of. any bodily injury. 1t is not a nesy
subject, therefore. The common law
never recognized such damages. They
were too vague. shadowy, and uncer-
tain. The decisions of the supreme
court of the United States and OF a
large majority of the state supreme
courts refuse to sanction any change OF
the common law in this particular.
There are a few of the supreme courts
of the states of this Union which do up-
hold the doctrine that damages NAV be
awarded for mental suffering discon-
nected with physical injury,-such as
Texas. Tennessee, North Carolina.
Alabama, and few others. Our own
state may be classed among those who
adhere to the old common-law rule.
AS to the third exception. we think
the circuit judge was correct In holding
that exemplary damages may be re-
covered of corporation for its negli-
gence when there is any evidence OF
y wantonness or willfuness or reckless
ness or malice on the part of the agent
or agents of such corporation,-for ex.

RACING Ar AoUEDUCT.
Three Outsiders and Tires Second
Choices Ran First

New York, Nov. 15.-Three outsiders
and three second choices divided the
card at Aqueduct, one favorite after an
other going down in quick succession It
was a disastrous day for the players
The conditions were favorable for the
sport, and a good sized crowd was in
attendance, but the racing was far be-
low the standard owing chiefly to the
bad starting. Imp was a starter in the
first race and she was naturally installed
favorite A poor start and a bad ride
settled her chances. however, and at the
end she had to be content with third
place. BaStile at 20 to 1 led all the way
and lasted long enough to win by
head from Trumpet A few days ago
Bastile was far back in a bad maiden
race
Mesaba was a hot favorite for the
second race, but after making the early
running. slipped badly and Orlenta and
Annie Thompson passed her and finished
heads apart as named. Toluca made the
running and won the third race easily
from the favorte, Double Dummy. The
latter would have been closer up. but
was badly interfered with in the stretch
by Judge Tarvin- Philippine headed
Knight Of the Garter for the fourth race,
Burns outriding little Walsh, and Queen
Carnival took the fifth easily with The
Puritan, who made most of the running,
in the place. The start of the last race
was perhaps the worst of the many bad
ones during the meeting. Mable. at Is
to l. won when Give and Take died away
in the stretch. Monmouth Boy, off bad
ly and lengths out of it going up the
back stretch, was second.
