In his decision Judge Reynolds says that the word “elbow” in the act was evidently used in a conven Honal rather than a technioal sense, and, therefore, un line drawn around the arm at the base of the head of the radius will be held to mark the lower Hmit of the “elbow.” Where the arm is amputated at, on, or above the said line, it is lost at the elbow within the meaning of the act, and the rate of pew ston for the same will be $86 per month, AT A CITY POUND.
