LEGAL SENSATION
MAY ONE KISS A SOLICITOR?
SIGN OF INSANITY
THE CHINA MAIL,
The makings of a very important test case, which one would like to aee taken right to the House of Lords, have just arisen at Chelten, ham. The point involved, which concerns the layman as well as the lawyer, is this: "Is it a sign of insanity to kiss' a solicitor?"
The point is to be taken seriously because it is a solicitor who has raised it. In explaining to the Chel- tenham magistrates that a client of his seemed to be in scarce- ly a normal frame of mind he ex- plained that she was very anxious to kiss him and he added, "If that is not a sign of insanity, I don't know what is."
And yet it seems a strange test and one that has not hitherto been recognised by the Commissioners of Lunacy, Are We to understand that to kiss any or all solicitors, anywhere and at any time, is a cer- tain symptom of insanity? Hardly, because in that case no solicitors would ever become married men, a state of affairs which ia contrary to common observation and the na- tural history of a by no means negligible species.
Again, there are now solicitors of both sexes; would it be a sign of mental abnormality to want to kiss a very young and very pretty soli- citress? And what happens if a male attorney, wishes to kiss a female representative of the species; can that be done without suspicion of insanity? In that case, why may two solicitors do with im- punity that which one solicitor and ' one layman may do only on peril of being regarded as mentally de- ficient? The whole subject bristles with "intriguing aspects which obviously deserve the attention of the highest legal authorities in the land-Manchester Guardian.
