NO PROTECTION FROM HENS.

of One Fails to Get Damages.
American wheelmen are likely to be
interested in the decision Of the Kings
Bench Divisional court In the hen-bicy-
Gle case, says the London correspond
ent of the New York Times.
A hen scratching worms at the side
of a public road was frightened by a
dog and flew across the highway into
the spokes of bicycle on which a
young man was taking a holiday spin.
The bicyclist was thrown on his head
and badly hurt. The machine was ruin
ed. The bicyclist sued the owner Of
the hen for damages.
In the County Court the judge found
for the defendant, holding that in or
der for the plaintiff to recover he must
show either that 1t rs the usual habit
of hens to fly into the spokes of bicycles
or that the hen In question had ac-
quired that habit. There was no evil
dence of either sort and, therefore, It
could not be alleged that the owner of
the hen should have kept her chained
or locked up in order to prevent the
hen from interfering with the sports of
bicyclists.
The plaintiff, not satisfied with this
decision carried the case to the d.
vlsional court, but the two learned
judges Of that court sustained the
County Court judge, 50, as the law
stands to-day, he who rides a wheel
on English highways is pretty much at
the mercy Of the highway hen.
