MAN SUES WOMAN
HAVANA, October 27
The Havana, 'Supreme Court has ordered Maria Louisa Tirado Sanchez,' id, to pav 50;000 dollars (£IO,OOO at par) as heart balm to Manual Martinez, a leading Havana lawyer, who is aged fifty-five. t For two years this amazing case has proceeded, the first ever tried r in the Cuban Courts, where a man sued for'a breach cf promise. He alleged that ‘‘through false and passionate loving she deceived 1 him until he left his own yne; but she, instead, married Jacinto Sanchez, onei of Havana’s wealthiest business men. , The Court decided' that there was no precedent for an action for breach of promise, in Spanish jurisprudence, hut that Martinez should recover because morally, no woman is entitled to wreck two' homes in trading wealth for social
prominence'.
