Little, of Union county, is suing M. C. and Baxter -Holmes for $5,000, growing out' of -the marriage of Henry -Griffin to M Little's 16-year-, old daughter. The plaintiff seeks a re-, covery.for'the services of his daughter,' for mental anguish- and for punitive purposes, h There is. no effort to collect from the .bridegroom. Nor is the fact that" he. whaled- the paterfamilias over the head with a' poker when the senior Little was seeking to'; restrain Griffin and thi daughter' from marrying, the cuse for acquitting Griffin.; The boy hasn't, any money'and the two Holmes meril-iave. . ; ' ,' .

The defendants appealed and the plain tiff asks affirmance ; of the judgment. The award'of $275 carries , all. the costs with: it -and the def entrants must pay the bill; ' C i '- - - -.' -They are - charged with aiding the marriage, and -actually accused of aB- ' ducting the daughter. They, transported," the pair to South Carolina where the marriage devilment "Is always easy. Griffin Is not even a party to the suit. . Chif interest in the - case , attaches to the varying views of the justices on , the bench, one of whom is a handsome young bachelor, two hold distinctly the old view as to unity in marriage, one Other Is broad and yet another exceed-, ingly -radical," It' is hardly hoped that they can agree on this case. - - . .
