An unusual case is now before the Privy Council, Mrs Jacob has. appealed against the Indian High Court’s reversal of a breach of promise award of 35,000 rupees, which she secured against David Wills, a wealthy Calcutta merchant. Mrs Jacdh, whose parents were German, was wrongly interned in India during war time as a suspected spy, hut the Government later paid her 20,000 rupees as compensation. She complained that this internment caused the separation of a lonely widow and her rich lover, who married another woman in 1920. The hearing was adjourned.
