On April 23 the cultivators of a village consult a “valluvau," who fixe« for them the kind of wood that they should cut and take away, lie Is supposed to settle the question as the result of as trological observations made on the commencement of the Tamil New Year's day. which fails about April 13. Eucb cultivator then takes a little cam phor, some incense, a few plaiutalus and a cocoanut, and with others assem bled for the purpose he proceeds to the forests, where he worships the tree he . is about to cut, offering the plaiutains and the cocoanut. Then he loptj off | the first branch, taking good care that it falls on the right side, in each year I the side is different. Prosperity to himself aud bis cattle is firmly be lieved to depend very much upon this. He then cuts away the required quan tity of wood and takes it home. Another day is then selected, soon After the early rains of the same month, by the “valluvau” and then the greatest event of tin* agricultural year occurs. Each ryot takes the wood ho has selected for the plow, which is newly fitted up and taken to the field, where the bullocks are tied to it, and behind It stand other plows with teams of oxen tied to them, while large crowds assemble around the teams. The principal plowman then daubs the pair of oxen tied to the new plow with aniline powder and turmeric paste; lie lights camphor and burns Incense before it, breaks a coeoanut and with it he makes an offering of a pot of jaggery water and parched grain and Bengal gram. Then he drives the plow across the field, pre ceded by the other plowmen, and after a few rounds the oxen are unyoked and the offerings distributed to those present. In the case of Colt vs. O’Conner et al., 109 New York Supplement, <589, recently before the Supreme Court of New York, a woman who had married testator in good faith, and had nursed him through a long illness, keeping their marriage secret at his request, was allowed to recover damages for the injury caused by marrying her while he had a wife living. The Supreme Judicial Court of Maine in Smart vs. Aroostook Lumber Company, (5.8 Atlantic Reporter, 527. held that, although the defendant log ging company had monopolized the commercial business on a navigable stream by filling it with floating logs, plaintiff was entitled to its use for access to his summer cottage, and that navigation for the purpose of mere pleasure is as much within the protec tion of tlie law as a use for commer cial purposes. Plaintiffs, attorneys, were engaged by defendant's agent and sent plead- legs by his other attorneys, but there was no proof of authority on the part of any of these persons to contract for the payment of attorney’s fees, and the N<*w Jersey Court of Errors and Ap peals in Bentley vs. Fidelity and De posit Company, (59 Atlantic Reporter, 202, held that no recovery could be had without proof of such contract, and that no liability arose from the simple fact of performance of services, as they were presumed to be gratuitous. I In Farrell vs. Manhattan Market Company, 84 Northeastern Reporter, 481, it appeared that palintiff pur chased a chicken at a bargain counter, and on eating a portion of it suffered from ptomaine poisoning. The deter mining factor of the case was a ques tion of evidence as to whether the deal er was responsible for plaintiff's choice of the fowl or whether she made her choice without reliance on his skill. The Supreme Judicial Court of Massa chusetts held that the burden of proof on this proposition was on plaintiff and that she had failed to sustain it. The son-in-law of plaintiff was Jan itor of an apartment house, in the base ment of which lie resided. While plain tiff was there she was seized with ery sipelas. Defendant, the landlord, learning this, told the janitor that if she were not removed by noon he would call an officer and [Hit them al) out Thereupon the plaintiff left. In Tuck er vs. Burt. 115 Northwestern Report er, 722, she claimed damages for the resulting aggravation of her mnlady.
