The petition of william III. King,
SON of the late Minister King. Tor an
order compelling his guardian to aiio"
him $3.50 for the expense of an opera
tion for hernia was denied by Judge
Robinson yesterday. J. A. LigntIooI
the guardian, stated that he was and
at all times had been ready TO nave
the operation performed, objectng oniy
to the exorbitant charge T.
Thompson appeared for the boy ana
argued that he should be allowed to
have the operation performed oy inc
family physician, and should not De
compelled to accept charity, Wnen ms
property was sufficient to pay Tor II.
The Court in reply stated that Mr..
Iigbtfoot was too much of gentleman
to allow this to be done, and the con-
teutjon of Magoon that this was mat
ter within the discretion of the guard
ian was sustained. Two physicians
Galbraith and Howell, testified that the |
onerat ton would cost $3.50, while Supt |
| Eckhardt who was put on the stand by
| the guardian stated that the charge at
the Queens hospital would be less than
| 500. The court held that the matter
was within the jurisdiction OF the
guardian, and as long as this discretion
| was not abused the court could not in
terfere. Thompson advised his client to
have the operation performed where ne

/ The case of the Good Hope Building
Association VS.. f. j. Amweg anu
| Blanche Amweg was before judge
| Humphreys Yesterday on demurrer by
the defendant The suit was to recov-
er on a Judgment obtained in the Phli-
| adalntia Court of Common Pleas, and
! De Bolt appearing for the defendant
commended that he had not been gwen
hearing in that court. 1t was arsueu
| also that the complaint didn't specify
as to whether the action was on debt or
asstlrnpsit Andrews, for pla1ntln saiu
that the court here had no power to
set aside a decree of a state court OF
record. contending also that the Dill or
complaint was properly drawn he ono
mot believe an attack on a court ooOV
| niles away would be given serious con-
sideration and his plea was sustained
by Judge Humphreys, who overruied
the demurrer.
The Court compared De Bolts argu-
gnent to a section in the old penal code
compelling all poisons to be labeled
win skull and crossbones, saying that
+he complaint required no more lapei
az 10 assurnpsit or debt than 1t should
be labeled the Hound of the Basker-
villes." AS to the second attack upon

Humphreys held that the Defendant
Il had appeared there by his attorney
/ and this obviated the necessity OF serV-
| ing process He gave defendant i've
| DAVIS to answer, and refused De Bolt S
| request FOR further time.
