THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, JULY 29′′¤, 1907.
The action in the "Liverpool Association v.

The same principle was therefore involved as in the case of an action for fort in similar gircumstances against an infant-the onse of

By the policy of our low an infant is allowed to end his cake and have it: and that is what this quondam infant has done and wants to do. And the wis tem of the law is such that when the infant hus obtained the relief from his frandulant behaviour which the law grauts bim, the Courts have not, so far as I know, any power to tie up the property for the bit of those whom it of course plestos to preset-the wife and children if any-bat being of all may play ducks and drakes with it a second Care.
