COURT CHRONICLE

ANTIQUE VIGOUROUX PLAINTIFF AND DISMISSED
Mr. Vigouroux, whose disputes with the antique dealer Demotte have not been forgotten, pleaded yesterday, but this time as plaintiff, against a former German antique dealer, Mr. Edouard Worch, of New York.
Mr. Vigouroux, who was, before the war, in New York, the representative of Mr. Worch, who first claimed $2,500 as commission on the sale of a statue acquired by the Philadelphia Museum; then $15,000 in damages for the loss of his furniture that Mr. Worch allegedly sold; finally $45,000 for slanderous denunciation, in compensation for a complaint brought by Mr. Worch against Mr. Vigouroux.
But the first chamber of the court ruled that Mr. Vigouroux had not proven the validity of his claims, and it dismissed his claim on all three points.

REPRODUCTION OF WORKS OF ART WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION
The sculptor Max Blondat, having, last May, noted in two stores in Paris reproductions of two of his works made without his authorization by the Vichi company, of Florence, had sued before the third chamber, this company, its representative in Paris and the directors of the two stores. The court, while admitting the good faith of the defendants, considered that there was reason for compensation and it ordered the Vichi company, its representative and the two directors jointly and severally to pay 8,000 francs in damages for each of the two works reproduced.

THE LIABILITY OF THE DIRECTORS OF HEALTH CENTER
The Versailles court has rendered its judgment in the lawsuit brought, as we have announced, against the director of a health center near Paris, by a Parisian industrialist. Mr. B.... whose wife, hospitalized in this establishment, had thrown herself into the Seine.
The court did not accept the director's argument that his establishment was only a voluntary asylum and not an insane asylum. It adopted the conclusions of the substitute, Mr. Falco, according to which health establishments, by declaring themselves specialized in the treatment of nervous diseases, are obliged to exercise supervision over patients, in particular those suffering from neurasthenia. It consequently awarded Mr. B... 50,000 francs in damages.
