UNFIT TO MARRY.
A BREACH OF PROMISE CASE
PROTECTION FOR UNBORN
London, March 18. Mr. Justice Darling awarded Id damages without costs in the breach of promise case in which defendant said he broke his promise because he considered he was unfit to marry owing to ill-health due to the war. He called medical evidence to show he was nervous and subject to paralytic attacks and Tiattledreams. Mr. Justice Darling said that it should be an implied term m pre nopals of marriage that- parties should be able to marry without endangering their own lives or risk having idiotic children. . Marriage was a serious undertaking. Children should be considered by law and the State even before born. He believed in this -case children would probably have been wretched and a burden if not a danger to the date. There were already quite enough such people.—(A. and N.Z.) _
