THE S TATE vs. LOREN BOSWORTH. Hartford D istrict, Jan. T., 1886. PARK, C. J., CARPENTER, PARDEE, LOOMIS AND GRANGER, Js. All o ffenses involving continuous action and which may be continued from day to day, may be charged as committed from one date to another. In a c omplaint for cruelty to animals, one count charged the defendant with overworking certain oxen from the first to the fourteenth day of a certain month, and another with neglecting to provide them with proper food and shelter for the same time. Held that each count charged but a single offense, and properly charged it as a continuing One. The o verworking and the neglect to properly feed and shelter cattle, may be charged as one offense. [Argued J anuary 6th—decided January 22d, 1886.] COMPLAINT b y a prosecuting officer of the Connecticut Humane Society for cruelty to animals, upon which the defendant was bound over by a justice of the peace to the Superior Court in Tolland County. In that court the de fendant demurred to the complaint; the demurrer was overruled, and the case tried to the jury before Andrews, J. Verdict guilty and appeal by the defendant. The case is fully stated in the opinion. VOL. L IV-1 2 F EBRUARY, 1886. Stafford S avings Bank v. Underwood. J. M. Hall and W. Bennett, for the appellant. B. H. Bill and C. Phelps, for the State. CARPENTER, J . The only question presented by this record which we can notice is that which arises on the demurrer. The only ground of demurrer is that several offenses are alleged in each count. The first count charges the defendant with cruelly over working certain oxen from the first to the fourteenth day of January, 1885. The second count charges him with neg lecting to provide them during the same period with proper food, drink and protection. The third charges that during the same period he deprived them of proper sustenance. Properly construed there is but one offense in each count. Perhaps it may be said that there is but one offense charged in all the counts.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Abstract of Thesis This thesis examines the birth of secondary education for Jews in England, focusing on the middle classes as defined in the text. This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.

  • Childhood and the Limits of Contract
    Childhood and the Limits of Contract Sarah Abramowicz* Since the doctrine of freedom of contract first rose to prominence in nineteenth-century England, its proponents have argued that a legal regime grounded in voluntary contractual relations could displace status by birth and offer a radical new freedom of choice. Yet the simultaneous growth of a model of child development emphasizing the formative power of early experiences brought this promise into question. The conflict between freedom-of-contract doctrine and understandings of child development played out in the neglected arena of Victorian adoption disputes. These cases brought to the surface the tension between the model of the freely contracting, self-determining adult and that of the dependent, malleable child. This Article explores that tension, which has been long overlooked by legal scholars, and demonstrates its continued importance by offering a new interpretation of the celebrated Baby M case. I. INTRODUCTION It is widely thought that legal adoption did not exist in England until authorized by statute in 1926. This Article rescues the largely lost history of the legal practice of adoption in England for more than a century prior to that time, and of the judicial response to that practice. This legal history, in turn, helps to complete the intellectual history of freedom of contract. Analysis of Victorian England's adoption case law highlights a tension between two distinct but equally dominant theories that were ascendant in nineteenth-century England: freedom of contract doctrine and the environmental model of child development. Because these theories usually are kept apart, the tension between them-visible when they are brought together in the anomalous legal arena of adoption disputes-has largely been ignored.
