HEAVY DAaAGEs.-W. B. Scebers, a Young
man of good character, had the misfortune,
last summer, in Memphis, under the operation
of city ordinance, to be sentenced to the
chain gang in atonement for some trivial Of
fence wherewith he was charged. Whilst
working on the bluff. with chain around his
ankle, heavy pile of dirt fell on him and
broke his leg. Thereupon, be brought suit
against the city, claiming $50, 900. We learn
from the Eagle and Enquirer that on Wednes-
day last, the trial of the case, which had oe-
cupied the common law court for several DAYS,
was brought to close, the jury finding a
verdict for the plaintiff and awarding him
$4,000 damages. The Enquirer says:
I'VE have understood that the ground on
which this verdict was obtained, was this: thai
the board of mayor and aldermen have failed
to pass vagrant law, and there being no such
law in existence, the city recorder had no pow
/ er to subject the plaintiff to confinement at la
Dor as penalty for any violation of city ordi-
nance; and that his confinement being illegal
the corporation is liable for all damages result
/ ing to bis person in consequences of such con-
inement.
