“ Extraordinary cases continually oome before the English County Courts, but this seems the most extraordinary. A wedding ring is the last thing in the world I should expect to be hired,” said Judge Emdcn at Lambeth County Court recently. Emily Vowles, Homerton, sued Fanny Dawson to recover £1 3s for hire of a wedding ring. Plaintiff stated that she was in the habit of hiring out lewellery, including wedding rings.— Judge Emden : What do your clients pay for the hire of wedding rings ? Plaintiff : One shilling a week. —Judge Emden : That is very expensive. Was the ring real gold ?—Plaintiff : Yes, 32carat. I charge Is a week hire until they are paid for.—Judgment was given for the plaintiff, payment to be made at the rate of 3s a month.
