He said:
"The frequency of great fortunes

of monopoly, have tended strongly to

Amy person entering marriage,
knowing himself to be seriously af-
flicted with pulmonary tuberculosis,
violates the spirit if not the exact let
ter, of the statutes enacted to pre-
vent the spread of that disease. The
same is true of one who marries an
other knowing him or her to be thus
afflicted. An agreement which, If ex-
ecuted, would thwart the beneficent
purpose of such statutes, ought not
to be held binding.
State Is Most Concerned.
The paramount consideration in
volved in the determination of this
case is not that appertaining solely
to the parties to this action although
as to each of them it is of great i'm
portance, but it is as to the commu-
nifty, the state, and to humanity In
general Here we have a man and
woman engaged to be married. The
man is Of a family several members
of which have died with pulmonary
consumption. The woman is afflicted
with the same disease to such an ex-
ten that it becomes necessary for
heI to go to distant portion Of the
country to recuperate, which she
Ioes, returning with the affection
still upon her and with small, If any,
assurances of recovery. Under these
circumstances, if the marriage were
To be contaminated what would be
the natural consequences to be antic-
ipated?
1T is a fundamental proposition
that a contract contravening the pro
visions or policy Of a public law Is
void or yoidable
No one can stop himself from
proving facts which viii show CON
tract to be opposed to public policy
It having been the privilege, and, as
We believe, the moral and legal duty
of appellant to decline to carry OFT
the agreement, he cannat be held re-
sponsible in damages for SO doin &"
