Judge Buchwalter, of the Hamilton common pleas, held in the case of Overheiser v. Mutual Life Ins. Co., of N. Y., that a divorced wife is entitled to the proceeds of a policy of insurance, she having been named as the beneficiary and divorced subsequent thereto. In the case of Echelman v. Heil, the judge said that a bill of exceptions allowed by a magistrate on the fourteenth day after trial was not a valid bill, the statute not permitting a magistrate to extend the time for presenting a bill beyond ten days.

The case arose from the following statement of facts: In November, 1888, one William Sharp, married Mary E. Williams. One year. later she sued for a divorce, but failed to make her case; subsequently in 1892 she again sued for divorce, and was this time successful and got a decree and was also awarded $300 ali Entered at the Postoffice, Norwalk, Ohio, as second mony, but at that time Sharp was insolvent. class matter. THE FOREMOST OHIO LAW PAPER. The growth of this paper during 1896 has been so marked that we confidently assert that it now has a greater circulation than any other Ohio law paper. It also contains so much more legal matter that we are justified in claiming it to be the leading paper in its class. Two years later Mrs. Sharp married a man by the name of Perry; she died leaving her husband as sole heir, an administrator was appointed, and as Sharp's mother had died in the the administrator sought to collect the $300 meantime leaving him an interest in her farm, alimony judgment. Sharp brought suit to set aside the alimony decree, as it would have to be paid to the husband of his dead wife. The attorney for the administrator demurred to this and the court sustained him in his demt rrer, and Sharp will now be compelled to pay the amount and settle with the widower of his divorced wife, G. N. Tuttle, of Painesville, was nominated last week Wednesday, by the democrats of that district for circuit judge. Judge Somers, of the Franklin county judi cial district, will fill Colonel C. H. Kibler's place on the circuit court bench when it sits at Newark, next Tuesday. Our Law Bull. competitor complains of our reprint of old law publications that we have not added enough to them. We presume he has been making the opinions he will publish much more valuable by adding to the language of the court some of Jahn's unintelligible jargon. Judge Foute, of Atlanta, Ga., holds that a hypnotist is responsible for the acts of his subjects. During the performance at a local theatre the subject of the hypnotist imagined he was a monkey, and grabbed a hat off a man in the audience and bit a piece out of it. The professor and his business manager refused to make good the cost of the hat, and the hypnotist was prosecuted. The charge was sustained by the court and the hypnotist was bound over. The ambitious publisher of the Law Bull, gave us about three columns of free advertising last week, in which he told his subscribers some of the truths we have been saying about him recently. We presume that, from those who read his attempted denials and unintelligible explanation, we shall be able to get enough new subscribers to cut his remaining seven hundred and fifty down to five hun dred. A mandamus suit was brought in the supreme court, Monday of this week, for the purpose of testing the constitutionality of the Dana law which forbids the use of a candidate's name in more than one ticket, on the election ballot. This suit comes from Cincinnati and concerns the "Lawyers' Judicial Ticket" in Hamilton county: The democrats accepted the nominations as appearing on the Lawyer's Judicial ticket and put the same on their county ticket. The county board of election supervisors, acting under the Dana law, refused to put these names on both tickets, and this suit is brought to compel them to do so. Judge Evans, of the Franklin common pleas, in a lenghty opinion, sustained the motions to dismiss the petition filed by Mrs. Miesse against Charles E. Miesse, on the ground that the defendant had not been served and the court had no jurisdiction. It appears that Miesse secured possession of his children and fled to Dakota, and that his abandoned wife then entered suit for alimony and enjoined Miesse from disposing of his property. Personal service could not be secured upon him, and under Judge Evans' ruling these suits fell to the ground. He held that the statutes did not authorize the seizing of the property of a non-resident husband to enforce the payment of alimony. This leaves Miesse free to do as he pleases with his property. Judge Maynard, of Washington C. H., judge of the Fayette common pleas, rendered an important decision last week in the case of the City of Washington v. Gallagher, the latter having been arrested for violating the ordin- Don't any one be deceived by the idea that ance requiring all screens to be removed from good reprint volumes of the Ohio Law periodthe doors and windows of saloons.
