He adds that some Americans would view transferring sovereignty to avoid expense as a service to the country.

Man's Rights Versus Hen's in England Court Ruling
A New York Evening Post note reports a bicyclist may sue a hen owner for damages if a hen causes an accident, while a hen cannot recover for injuries when struck by a bicycle. In a county court case the judge ruled for the defendant, saying no evidence showed it was a hen's general habit to impede. On appeal the decision was upheld. The plaintiff claimed common knowledge of a hen’s tendency to obstruct, but the court noted the bird was frightened by a dog and that the owner could not foresee the fowl flying into the bicycle.
