The statute passed in 1855 wasetsahlished as a protective measurefor the family of the drinker in thosetimes of the licensed saloon. Theact not only is reminiscent of the ef-forts made necessary to safeguardmothers and children during the timeof thelicensed drink system, but alsois evidence that bootlegging was noless prevalent under license than thewets would insinuate it has been un-der prohibition, for this statute ap-plied only to the illegal selling of li-riuor.

Another statute later placed a sim-ilar liability on the licensed saloon-keeper o rso-called legal seller fordamages resulting if he sold drinkto a person whose relatives has ask-ed hi mnot to sell to.

The Marlboro case was the firsttried under the 18;>5 statute sincenational prohibition went into effect,and is taken by attorneys as sus-taining the continued validity of theliability law. William J. Kenney, at-torney for the plaintiffs, believes thestatute will be of even greater forcenow that all sales of liqour are ille-gal and actions will be easier to main-tain on that point. Some of Mr. Ken-ney's legal acquaintances questonedwhether he could get a jury sufficient-ly in sympathy with anti-liquor lawsto give a verdict for the plaintiffs,but he interpreted the result as show-ing a sentiment to place on liquorthe blame it was proved to deserve.

Act Proved ImpregnableEleven times before national pro-

hibition suits under this law werecarried to the Massachusetts SupremeCourt and the act was upheld. Whilethere may have been some other finaljudgments in lower courts, these Su-preme Court records probably com-prise all the awards made under thestatute, Mr. Kenney believes, sincethe liquor interests usually were ableto carry any case through all possi-ble appeals in an attempt to wearout the claimant. He believes alsothat many more suits might havebeen brought except that relativelyfew of the persons entitled to reliefknew there was such a statute.

Recompense for loss of support aswell as against physical harm at thehands of an intoxicated person isprovided in the statute. Several ofthe judgments upheld in the old rec-ords were given in cases in whichthe drinker met some mishap whichincapacitated him and would other-wise have left his family destitute.

The statute reads in part: "A wife,husband, child, parent, guardian, em-ployer or other person who is injuredin person, property or means of sup-port by an intoxicated person or inconsequence of the intoxication, ha-bitual or otherwise, of any personshall have a right of action againstany person who, by selling or givingintoxicating liquor has caused inwhole or in part such intoxication;and anv person who owns, rents,leases or permits the occunation ofany building or premises, and know-ingly permits therein the sale of in-toxicating liquor shall be liable joint-
