INJURY BY EARTHQUAKE
SCRIP, TUR AL REFERENCE. NO RECORDED legal case. “No, I must admit that there is no legal reference, eo far as I know, to injury paused by an earthquake itself,” said Mr. P. J. O’Regan, counsel in a case that was before the Court of Appeal last week. “In fact, the only reported case of injury by actual earthquake that I know is recorded in the Book of Numbers.” Mr. O’Regan quoted the first of the two verses given below from chapter 16 of the • Book of Numbers “And the earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up, and their houses., and all the men that appertained unto Korah and all their goods. 1 “They/ and' all f ’tnat ''appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them; and perished, from among the congregation.”
