JACKSON, 27 RANGITIKEI STREET. Dead Doctor Was Negligent £5,000 DAMAGES FOR A PATIENT’S WIDOW A slight, frail widow with greying hair sat iu tho well of a crowded ' King J s Bench Court (London) recently. With hands tighuy clasped, she heard/ a red-robed judge award her and her j two children £SUUO damages as compensation for the death of her husband, a 1 (Civil servant, who had been earning £I,OOO a year. She was Mrs Margaret Coanolly, of Argyle square, W.C. She alleged that D.\ Henry Homei Rubra, ot Crouch Hall road, Crouch Eud, who attended her husband, had failed to use due Bkill and care. “I am glad this loug legal struggle is over," Mrs Connolly told a reporter. “It has meant months of waiting, but my legal advisers have beeu splendid. L cannot thank them sufficiently. “Money can never compensate me for tho loss of my susband, but it w r ill help in bringing up the children.’» After Mrs Connolly had begun her action against Dr. Rubra, the doctor died, and Mrs Ethel Katharine Rubra, his widow and executrix, continued the defence. Mr Justice Greaves-Lord, giving judgment, said that if proper steps had been taken tuberculosis would have been found in 1931 and, if so, Mr Connolly *s life might have been prolonged. Of the £5,000 damages, ho apportioned £3,500 to Mrs Connolly, £7OO to the elder son, and £BOO to tho y6ungcr son. It was intimated that Mrs Rubra would appeal. In Britain, widows do not, on the average, live as long as married women or spinsters.
