BREACH OF PROMISE
WHY CASES ARE BROUGHT
JUDGE’S CAUSTIC REMARKS
(Rec. February 13, 5.5 p.m.) London, February 13. Mr. Justice McCardie congratulated Miss Young on ner masterly handling of her case before the jury’s verdict awarding £7O damages to her client. He added that over and over .tgain he had observed that breach of promise cases were invariably brought with the object of punishing men, and also for the purpose of extracting money which could not otherwise be extracted. The most striking feature of the cases was that for one instituted by. men, there was a hundred by women. It was infinitely better that engagements should be broken ofl -ither than that there should be mat , es from which bitterness and misi ’ ,vere inevitable. The divorce records revealed the result of these ill-assorted unions.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
