SOLOMON’S WISDOM USED
DIVIDED OWNERSHIP OF BICYCLE Police in the town of Horsens, Jutland, resorted recently to what is probably the world’s oldest legal precedent. A Horsens man reported that his bicycle, bought at a public police auction- of lost property, had been stolen. It was duly recovered, but on looking at the license number, borne by all Danish bicycles, the police discovered that it had previously been advertised as stolen frorri a man in Vorbasse, also in Jutland.
There appeared to be no Danish ruling as to what should be done in a cq,se like that. But somebody remembered the famous judgment of Solomon. So the owner in Vorbasse has now got a bicycle frame, with handle-bars, and the owner in Horsens the wheels and the saddle.
