PRESIDENT AND GE:STLEMEN, the history of this case is as follows: Harriet Staunton was born in 1841, the youngest daughter of a Mrs. Richardson. From childhood she had shown some traces of weak intellect, and derived little benefit from an ordinary education. She had always difficulty in expressing her thoughts in a letter and in spelling the simplest words. Yet she was fond of dress, neat and tidy in her person, and therefore should be described as mentally deficient, but not an imbecile. She had lived with her mother until 1874, but in that year she went on a visit to stay with a Mr. and Mrs. Hineksman, who lived in Heygate Street, Walworth Road. Mr.Hincksman was Mrs. Richardson's nephew and Harriet's cousin. He had married the widow of a man named Rhodes, and Mrs. Hincksman, by her first husband, had two daughters-the younger, Alice Rhodes, unmarried, and the elder, Elizabeth Ann Staunton, married to an artist, Patrick Staunton, who lived at 9, Loughborough Park Road. Whilst staying with the Hincksmans Harriet met Patrick's brother, Louis Staunton. an auctioneer's clerk, to whom she became engaged in 1874. Her mother strongly opposed the engagement, and made an unsuccessful attempt to place Harriet under the protection of the Court of Chancery as a lunatic. On June 16, 1875, Harriet Richardson, now thirty-five years of age, was married to Louis Staunton, and went to live at 8, Loughborough Park Road. Patrick Staunton lived opposite in No. 9","PeriodicalId":415025,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Society Transactions","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1921-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132442363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Similar psychological phenomena may be observed in those who bring actions for libel, slander, malicious prosecution, breach of promise, and so on. In workmen's compensation cases the outstanding feature of the dispute is as to whether or not the individual is capable of resuming his former occupation. The assumption of the plaintiff's claim may be either more or less substantial, or so flimsy that it comes perilously near to fraud. Particular attention will be paid here to the first of these, although it must not be forgotten that many of the considerations to be dealt with also share in the genesis of fraudulent claims. Psychologists observe that the nature of a concept is controlled by the essential needs and experience of the individual. For instance, the concept of a piece of chalk may be to the geologist the cemetery of millions of animalcula; to the schoolmaster, a messy but useful aid to imparting knowledge; to the chemist, a carbonate of calcium. And so the concept of a wound may vary in individuals. In some, it is loss sustained; whilst in others-the plaintiff-it is the means of gain by obtaining pecuniary compensation, of which he is determined the measure shall be full, if not brimming o'er. Further, the mental outlook varies with the nature of the concept. For example, closely similar injuries attributable to like accidents present in those who make no claim for compensation a very different clinical picture","PeriodicalId":415025,"journal":{"name":"Medico-Legal Society Transactions","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1921-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128943556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
