He turned for i help to_ a servant employed about the university, and hired him to give him a stroke over the face with a sabre. The man, however, delivered ti frightful blow, and the damage was considerably greater than that for which the student contracted. After he was dismissed from the hospital he brought suit against the servant for bodily injuries.
