Whether Mr. Kightly did or did not make a promise to marry the lady either after the divorce from her huband was obtained, or at any other time, does not matier very much. It seems to us that when the jury gave a
verdict for a hundred pounds damages, substanilal justice was done, and if the amount had been' higher we would not have altered our opinion, A hundred pounds is a merg tilo for spoiling the twenty hest years of a woman's life. It is not compensation, It is merdy A peppercoin acknowledgment that com- pensation is due. All breacher of promise, however, are not so worthy of compensation as this startling case of Kightly versus Smith. There was, for instance, earlier in this very week, the case of Miss Tuckwell, who sued Mr. Bensle and who was compelled to admit that while Mr. Benzle courted her she was also carrying on with a Mr. Hobbs. The jury rightly enough gave this young lady no damages, apparently to her bow, she was Hobbs' choice. On the whole, we may take it that the agitation for the abolition of breachs of promise actions is unneces-
