Cases The Parents: A guarantee of satisfaction will seldom put you out of pocket, either. Even if your pictures turn out in a way which you think is pretty disappointing, in a surprising proportion of cases the parents will not be in the least displeased. You may cringe inwardly when you show the proofs and yet the mother and father will be delighted at the likenesses of their child and proceed to amaze you with a big order for prints. So never apologize for the quality of your pictures when you show proofs, at least not to parents.
Certain types of feeble-mindedness tend to run in families. Low mentality occurs when some factor that ensures normal development is lacking in both parents. Difficulty arises in the diagnosis of true mental deficiency. There is no conclusive evidence that all cases of feeble-minded-ness are clearly hereditary. Some may be congenital, i.e., acquired during prenatal life. At birth severe lack of oxygen may cause brain damage. Other cases may be intensified by an impoverished social environment.
Each case of first instance in the high court is tried by a single judge. Occasionally he may have the assistance of a jury, but one of the most striking features of the contemporary English legal system is the decline of jury trial in civil cases. Certain cases must be tried in a particular division. Thus, contested divorce cases must be tried in the probate divorce and admiralty division, while cases concerned with mortgages and trusts must be tried in the chancery division. There is, however, a considerable overlap, and the distribution of cases among the three divisions is governed as much by convenience as by rules of law.
