This Is
The Law
Murder By Necessity

An interesting and unusual
murder case was tried in the
highest court of England in
1884. Since both the United
States and England have the
common law, and there is no
law in the United States to the
contrary. the decision would
probably be followed today in
both England and America.
An English vessel sank dur
ing a storm on the high seas
1000 miles from the Cape of
Good Hope. The three survivors
were able to escape in an open
boaat belonging to the vessel.
They had no supply of water or
food, and the nearest land was
more than 1000 miles waya.
drifted for days. Once they
caught a small turtle and sub
sisted on it for a few days. On
rare occasions they were able
70 catch rain water in their oil
skin capes.
On the twentieth day. eight
lays since their last food and
five days since their last water,
two of the three discussed what
should be done for their survi-
val. The third member of the
group was a boy seventeen years
If age. He was lying on the
bottom of the boat helpless, and
extremely weakened by famine
or by drinking sea water. They
decided to kill him and to feed
upon his body.
A prayer was offered asking
forgiveness of their souls for
what was about to be done. The
boy was too weak to give con-
sent to be killed or to protest.
A knife was put into his throat
and he was killed. The two sur
vivors fed upon the body and
blood of the boy for four days.
Four days after the act was
committed the small boat was
picked up by a passing vessel.
The two survivors were rescued,
still alive, but in the lowest state
IF prostration. They were car
ried to England and put on trail
for murder.
If the men had not fed upon
the body of the boy they would
probably not have survived to
be picked up and rescued. but
would have died of famine. The
boy. being in a much weaker
condition. was likely to have
died before them. At the time of
the act in question there was no
ship in sight, nor any reason
able prospect of relief. There
was no appreciable chance Of
saving life except by killing
some one for the others to eat
Notwithstanding the able ar
guments of counsel. all of the
justices of the highest court
held that the homicide was not
justifiablc. and that the two de
PENDANTS were guilty of murder
a ma ncannot deliberately take
an innocent and unoffendinG
PERSONS life for the necessity OF
saving his own life II the rule
was otherwise. there would r.
those who might use the rule
a legal cloak.
The opinion of the court said:
There is no safe path for judy
es to tread but TO ascertain the
law to he best of their ability
and to declare it according tC
their judgment: and if in any
