A chip of glass Hew from the bottle into the eye of plaintiff, resulting in injury.

Evidence - Statutory Rape - Right Of Accused To Compulsory Blood Test Of Prosecutrix And Child, Edward Pastucha S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant was convicted of statutory rape on the strength of complaining witness' uncorroborated testimony. Testimony of the prosecutrix was to the effect that she had had sexual relations with defendant only once, that she had become pregnant and had given birth to a child prior to the trial, and that she had had sexual relations with no other men. Defendant moved for an order requiring that blood tests be taken of the child and the mother. The motion was denied. On appeal, held, affirmed.

Michigan Law Review
Many states have statutes which provide that support, maintenance and education of a child will not be considered an advancement unless the parent intended it as such. The Kentucky statute is typical and it reads in part as follows: " . . . the maintaining or educating or the giving of money, to a child or grandchild without any view to a portion or settlement in life, shall not be deemed an advancement." Most states do not have statutes of that type but by judicial decision reach a result that is in accord with the statutory provision just quoted.
Torts - Infant's Liability For Battery - Parent's Liability For Child's, Richard S. Weinstein
Torts - Infant's Liability For Battery - Parent's Liability For Child's, Richard S. Weinstein
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, a baby sitter, suffered injuries when she was pushed violently to the floor by her four-year-old charge. Plaintiff brought an action against the child alleging battery and negligence, and against the parents alleging negligence in failing to warn plaintiff of the boy's habit of violently attacking people. The lower court sustained demurrers to all three counts. On appeal, held, reversed on the first and third counts. An infant may be charged with battery, and a parent may be negligent in failing to warn of an infant's violent tendencies. Ellis v. D'Angelo, 116 Cal. App. (2d) 310, 253 …

Torts - Child's Right To Recover For Alienation Of Parent's Affection, Marvin O. Young S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff's parents were divorced in 1934 when plaintiff was five years old. Custody of plaintiff was awarded to her mother, but plaintiff alleged that she received "usual paternal love, affection, maintenance, and support" from her father until 1941, when plaintiff's father took defendant as his mistress, keeping her until his death in 1952. Plaintiff brought this action for damages on the theory that defendant alienated the affections of her father, thereby depriving plaintiff of fatherly affection, guidance and support. Defendant's demurrer was overruled by the trial court. On appeal, held, reversed. In the absence of a statute, a child …

Negligence-Liability For Negligence Of Minor Driver Imputed To Person Signing M:Rnor's Application For Driver's License, George D. Miller, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
A father signed his daughter's application for a driver's license in accordance with the terms of a Utah statute, which required that the application for a minor's driver's license be signed by the parent or guardian, and imputed liability for the minor's negligence or wilful misconduct to the person signing the application. Before the daughter reached her majority (i.e., eighteenth birthday), the following events took place: (1) her mother was given sole custody of her in a divorce action; (2) she married; and (3) she negligently drove her car against the plaintiff, who brought suit against the daughter, her husband, …

Infants - Minority As A Defense To Rescission For Fraud, Raymond H. Rapaport
Michigan Law Review
Two defendants, one of whom was a minor, sold a business to the plaintiff. The plaintiff, in seeking to rescind the contract on the ground that it was induced by fraud, obtained a decree declaring the contract cancelled, and judgment was entered against the defendants for the sums they had received from the plaintiff. The minor defendant filed a petition to vacate the judgment as to him because during the trial no guardian ad litem had been appointed to represent him. Held, defendant is entitled to a new trial only if he could have made a good defense, and …

Under the Georgia Criminal Code the offense was punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of two to ten years. The boy was found in the state of New York, whereupon the governor of Georgia sent a requisition for extradition to the governor of New York. The boy defendant brought a habeas corpus proceeding in a New York court to obtain release from custody under the extradition warrant. Held, the defendant …
Expatriation Of American Minors, Lester B. Orfield
Expatriation Of American Minors, Lester B. Orfield
Michigan Law Review
The United States Supreme Court in May, 1939, handed down a vitally significant decision on the expatriation of American minors. Prior to that date, one was forced to deduce the law from conflicting decisions of the lower federal courts and of state courts, rulings by the departments of state, labor, and justice, and views of writers. This, therefore, seems an appropriate time at which to discuss the problems which have been raised and the solutions which have been offered.
State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock
State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock
Michigan Law Review
The Report on the Child Offender in the Federal System of Justice recommends the enactment of federal legislation which will provide means of utilizing the machinery of existing state juvenile courts where federal laws have been violated by children. The details of such legislation are not suggested in the Report. The legal questions to be encountered in the framing of such legislation call for careful consideration if full advantage is to be taken of the knowledge which the study made for the Commission furnishes. Some of the questions of more general interest will be taken as the subject of this …
Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson
Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
The Report concerning child offenders in the federal system of justice is a joint report for the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement and the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. The study on which the report is based was conducted by Dr. Miriam van Waters, for many years the referee of the Juvenile Court of Los Angeles. Her choice to direct this study is to be commended. Not only was she in intimate contact with children who were offenders in California, but her experience in varied capacities has made her familiar with juvenile delinquency and its …
Family Courts, Willis B. Perkins
Family Courts, Willis B. Perkins
Michigan Law Review
A great deal has been said, but very little has been authoritatively written upon the subject of Domestic Relations Courts in this country. So far as I know, no such court has yet been successfully established embodying the jurisdiction and powers the advocates of such a court claim it should possess. I am not unaware, however, that courts under the name ef Domestic Relations Courts have been established, notably in New York City and Cincinnati, and that certain Municipal Courts, notably in Chicago, have been given jurisdiction in certain family matters, but none of these courts, as at present organized, …
The Beveridge Child Labor Bill And The United States As Parens Patriae, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Beveridge Child Labor Bill And The United States As Parens Patriae, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
Although strenuous opposition has been encountered in the courts whenever an attempt has been made by the legislatures to interfere with the contractual freedom of adults in matters pertaining to the contract of employment, the right of interference in the case of children has been always conceded. From an early time minors have been placed under contractual disability by the law and have been looked upon as wards of the State. Having denied to them a full measure of contractual freedom, the State can hardly deny an equivalent protection; in fact the rule of contractual disability is in a large …
