Mr. Justice- Croom-Johnson, In the King's Bench Division said he had tried hundreds of fatal acci-{ dent cases without finding the principle on which damages for loss of expectation of life were based: The case before him con- cerned Doreen Dorothy | Cullen, 11 and Maureen Gertrude, Garry, 8. who were killed by a car on a Kent road in April, 1939,-

The judge remarked that in these days there were perils awniting everyone every moment of the day or night. Was the ex- pectation of life the same in July,! 1940, as it was in 1935? These two children were on the thres-

hold of life, but they had a vested

normal continuance of life.
