the husband of a portion of her interest in PERSONAL INJURIES.
the profits which the husband would derive
from the first partnership is valid; and the
use by him, or by his copartner, of such
profits to discharge a debt of the husband
does not render his partner liable to the
wife on account of having used her money
for the purpose of paying her husband's
debt.
Id.
5. Where a business owned by a married
woman was conducted by her husband in
his name, and a third person, in ignorance
of the wife's interest, bought a half inter-
est therein, and later, upon discovering the
wife's interest, recognized her as a partner
and offered to buy her share in the busi-
ness, the wife became liable, upon an ac-
counting as to the affairs of the partner-
ship, for half of the purchase price of a
machine previously bought by her husband
and his partner before her relation to the
business was discovered, although she had
given her husband special instructions not
to purchase the machine, it appearing that
it was actually purchased and used in car-
rying on the business of the partnership.

4. One who seeks or holds a public office,
or any person who claims from the public
approval or patronage, waives his right of
privacy to such an extent that he cannot
restrain or impede the public in any proper
investigation into the conduct of his pri-

he seeks or holds, or as to whether the pub-

he seeks, or accord to him the approval or

5. The right of privacy may be waived,
either expressiy or by implication, except
as to those matters which law or public
policy demands shall be kept private; but
a waiver authorizes an invasion of the
right only to such an extent as is neces-
sarily to be inferred from the purpose for
which the waiver is made. Waiver for one
purpose, and in favor of one person or
class, does not authorize an invasion for
all purposes, or by all persons and classes.

PROXIMATE CAUSE.

1. The negligence of a carrier in failing
to forward promptly goods delivered for
transportation is the proximate cause of
their loss, where, because of such delay,
they are overtaken in transit and destroyed
by an act of God, even though the act of
God cannot reasonably be anticipated. Bibb
Broom Corn Co. v. Atchison, T. & S. F. R.
Co. (Minn.)

509

2. The proximate cause of the accident
was the striking of the horse by the boy,
where a farmer left a team of eleven-year-
old horses drawing a wagon loaded with
about a ton's weight, fastened to a hitching
rail in front of a store while engaged in un-
loading his wagon, as he had been frequent-
ly in the habit of doing, and while the team
was standing quietly a boy, in turning over
the hitching rail near the head of the team,
struck one of them on the nose, which
frightened the team, causing them to break
the halter, which was apparently in good
condition, and run away, causing damage.
Stephenson v. Corder (Kan.)
246

3. The proximate cause of the injury of
a servant by the fall of a derrick because
of the breaking of a spliced rope is not the
failure to insert thimbles into the loops of
the splice, but the failure to inspect the
rope for the purpose of determining its con-
dition, and to repair it after it has become
chafed and worn by use, where there is
nothing to show that the splice is not suf
ficiently strong, without the thimbles, to do
the work required of it, but fails because
of the wear due to continued use. Rinci-
