When one brings suit In ths courts for
loss of any accessary part or parcel of
tha human anatomy there la no estab
lished basis on which a jury may defi
nitely determine the value of the lost or
damaged member. Thorp's "Ancient
Laws of England" shows that things were
different la the days of that good Baxna
king. Alfred of the Oatcakes. ,To kill a
man for the murder of another was mere
waste If money could be got eat of the
murderer or his kin. Mea, according to
rank, were appraised and sack bad bis
price.
The human body was divided Into
thirty-four parts, on each of which was
placed a fixed value. The following snows
the hot or boot, the price given to make
aa exchange even, for Injuries to the arm
and hand:
If the arm -shanks be both broken, the
bot Is xxx ehllllngs.
If the thumb be struck off, for that
sbsll be xxx shillings as bot
If the nail be struck off. for that shall
be v shillings aa bot. If the shooting li. e.

Thirty shillings stsmed rather

that tbs purchasing power of money wss
