The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1906-01-27

A curlonS ease was tried in England
about a century ago to decide the Ques-
ton of next of kin. Job Taylor, quar-,
termastcr in the Royal artillery, was
drowned. with his wife Lucy, in try.
ing to save her after shipwreck. He
had made a will leaving all that he
possessed to her, but as she did not
live to give the will effect Il dispute
arose among their next of kin as to the
proper disposal of the estate, which
was valued at f4OO0.
1t had been ruled, in conformity
with principle of the Roman civil
law, that when two persisted together
i'll common calamity and it was un.
certain which was for IL time the sur.
vivor the decision should favor which
ever was the more robust. In this case
the wife had distinctly the better con
Sttlltion but as against this it 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.
