The Proverbial Shilling.

The wealthy auctioneer who re-
duced the Inheritance of a daughter
to a small annuity because she had
become a Socialist reminds one of the
oldfashioned "cutting-off with a shill.
ing Why shilling rather than moth
ing? Blackstone explains. The Ro-
mans used to set aside wills as de-
ficient in natural duty if they disin-
herited or totally passed by any child
of the testator. But the smallest leg
acy was accepted as evidence that the
testator had not lost his reason or his
memory as the law otherwise assumed
he had. Hence the groundless belief
in England that father could disin
herit his child without shilling, al
though the English law knows nc
presumption of insanity or forgetful
ness in such case. OF Sheridan and
his son Tom land of other fathers and
sons) the story is told:
Father-Ill cut you off with shill
ing.
Son-rd rather have it now. dad.
