He had just married, he said, and had him- self to marry a couple. As was the` Scottish custom in those days, the cere- mony was in the evening, and he joined in the supper afterwards. As the toast- ing was going on he realized that he was getting tipsy, When he got home' he stealthily slipped into the bedroom, and was relieved to find that his wife had fallen asleep while reading in bed. He was getting into bed as quickly as he could, thanking God that he had so happily tamped detection, when he heard his sweet little wife, in her soft voice, exclaim, "John, dear, why are you coming to bed with your hat on?" —Scottish American. SERVICES BY SISTER TO BRO THER UNDER HIS PROMISE NOT TO REMARRY. The plaintiff who was a sister of the defendant abandoned her occupation, and went to live with him in 1895, upon the death of his wife, to take care of his household and ohildren, upon his representations that he would not mar- ry again, that she would have a home for the rest of tier lite, unless ho prede- ceased her. and in that event she would have the benefit of an insurance on his life effected for her benefit. There was nothing in writing, and no oral promise to pay the plaintiff wages. The plain- tiff lived with defendant and cared for his house and children until 1908, when he remarried. The plaintiff sued for damages for breach of the oontraot which she alleged,, and for money' ex- pended by her on`the defendant'sbehalf. The judge of the County Court of Essex sitting for Mr. Justice Anglin, deviated judgement for plaintiff, for $1,530, being for six years wegeeless forty days barred by the Statute. of Limitation. Upon an appeal to the Divlsionai Court it was held that the representation of the defen' dant that he would not marry again was merely an eitpreesion of intention: a oontraot of a widower not to marry again would be void as against palette policy; beoaure of the representations made by the defendant, the plaintiff was entitled 16 recover the valve of her services for the last six years before nation; but Was not entitled to reoover for >oioneys eY Vended by her voluntarily and without the request of the defendant.
