NOVEL POINTS OF THE LAW.

A decision by the Appellate Division

Va. Skinner Of the right of a mother
to recover damages from n drug con- |
Germ for selling heroin to her son. who
was employed at $50 Il month and
earned SIS a week singing, and aided |
his mother greatly. Through using the
drug the boy became an idler. drug fiend
and criminal. The cour In holding the
mother entitl, to punitive damages

1.-THE action Is said to be n novel one.
In some respects this IL true, although
the principle on which the cause OF ac-
ton is based Is not novel. hut has been
known and recognized by the courts for
centuries. BY whatever name this ac-
ton may go. the fact Is that the prop
erty rights of the plaintiff have been
trespassed upon and she Is simply suing
for reimbursement The services OF her
son to which she was legally entitled,
have been destroyed, so she alleged. anc
so the Jury has found. and she is only
asking pay for this damage done. The
plaintiff bases her claim upon the same
| principle which underlies the cause OF
action accruing to "A father in case Of
the abduction of his daughter. or TO II
| husband in case of the alienation OF his
wife's affections. Precedent Is not neces-
sary In order that the plaintiff may re-

The opinion refers TO the law for
bidding druggists To- sell a preparation

says the defendant ignored the statute
completely and day after day sold large
quantities of this poisonous and ruinous
drug to this misguided youth. ON one
occasion 1000 pills were sold hun IN
