Mr.. Justice Holmes has the reputa-
ton of citing more peculiar cases from
the old lawbooks than any other mem
Der of the Supreme court. He dug up
an additional one Saturday to the
amusement of his associates, when it
was commended in libel suit that the
declaration was insufficient because
the offense was not stated properly.
THAT leads me to recall case in
the old books" said the justice,
"where an indictment set forth that
the accused struck man on the head,
splitting tho skull until a portion fell
down on either shoulder, and the court
held the Indictment defective because
it did not allege that the man was
killed"
The justice observed that it was 3
halr-splitting decision, and ne didnl
intend it as a pun, either.-New Yorf
