"A curious case was tried in England
about century ago to decide the ques-
ton of next Of kin. Job Taylor. quar-
termaster in the Royal artillery, was
drowned with his wife Lucy, In try
ing to save her after shipwreck. He
had made will leaving all that he
possessed to her, but as she did not
live to give the will effect a dispute
arose among their next Of kin as to the
proper disposal Of the estate, which
was valued at 1900.
1t had been ruled, in conformity
with a principle OF the Roman civil
law, that when two persisted together
In common calamity and 1t was un-
certain which was for time the sur
'viyor the decision should favor which
ever was the more robust. In this case
the wife had distinctly the better con-
stitution, but as against this 1t was
urged that, as he plunged in to save
her, she probably expired first. After
lengthy arguments the judge held that.
though strong in constitution, the wife
would probably have been more timid
than her soldier husband and granted
administration to his next Of kin.
