Mrs. Wilson also added an argument: "The doctor's bill started long be fore the child was born. . . . The cost of supporting a child doesn't wait...
...unprecedented decision reached in the Manchester Assizes in the case of Smith v. Hall & Pickles. For her fright, Mrs. Smith won ?2,500, assessed against Hall & Pickles and Mr. Cunliffe of Droylsden, since both were found equally responsible for the motor crash.
