Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1866-05-21


forwsrned him against going on his place 20 |
The evidence for the defense here closed,
when Mr.. Gordon opened the argument before
the Jury. He claimed that II there was assault
committed, they were entitled 10 q verdict,
and that assault had been proven BY
their showing that pistol had been drawn
upon the plaintiff. He had threatened
10 kill both cattle and men, and 90 frightened
one witaess that be ran away tor his life. Al
though they were not able to prove the beat
ing, the circumstances left no doubt that he
had done it. He was left IN the woods In q
senseless condition and as soon as he came
home named the perpetrstor of the outrage.
The question in this issue was whether Mr..
Dolson had right to go on this land or not
Mr.. McDowelrs statement was that Mr. Hill had
told him he had sold all his hoop poles to Mr..
Dolson, Mr.. Hill himself said that Mr.. Dolson
was not cutting the poles of short enough.
This was evidence enough that the plaintiff
had bought the poles aud had right there. II
they had satisned the jury that Hill had COM
! mitted assault and battery on Mr.. Dolson, they
claimed an award of damages. He asked
then, beside allowing the actual damages sus-
tanned to impose upon the defendant such dam
ages as might make an example OF him, and
prove warning to others.
Mr.. Rodney did not think the plsinti & had
buoWu huytutug ny Wulcn ne could recover
the damages claimed. There was nothing
showing any permanent injuries, or that he
had expended any sum for medicines, Doctors
bills, or was even so injured as to confne him
to the house. The testimony of Mr.. Hender-
son in regard to the inability of Mr.. Dolson to
work, amounted to nothing as be had no
| means of knowing the ability Of Mr.. Dolson
| previsus to the assault. He claimed that Mr..
Dolson had failed to prove he had right to
| go upon the premises.
The case was continued until Monday morn
ing, and the court adjourned.
Percentage Of Disbvrssmena or rates of ex-
penses to receipts of the principal Life Insu-
ranceCompanies In this country, as shown by
the annual report of the Life Insurance Com
missioners appointed by the Legislature of
Massachusetts,, made November LIST, 1896, en-
bracing the whole amount of business done BY
each, and not only that which any one may
| have done In New York or any other single
State; is as follows :-EtRa 1878 with assets
amounting to $l775 ,604.l0; Connecticut Mu-
tual % with assets amounting 10 $780,
1924; Charter Oak 1878, assets 81, 434 $685.
es; Msnhattaa ID 81, assets $2,544 077.74;-
Mutual Benefit IA 40, assets S. ,49s, 767. 46;-
Massachusetts, Mutual 10 40, assets i ,2a4, 1885,
| 81; New England Mutual 10 81 assets $seA6,
| $50 So. will be observed that the ratio of
expenses TO receipts of the Connecticut Mutual
Is much lower than that of any other Compa-
| ny, and it's assets are much larger. The re-
port goes on to show that it Issued more pei
icies during the year by lle5 than any other
company, and by consequence that its distrb-
| utable fund by way OF dividends to policy
holders is much larger. This fact is proved
by the actual dividing of so per cent. on the
first day OF February last, among all the poll
cies 10 force at that date. Richard Clement
at the North West corner of 9th and Market
Streets, is the agent of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company.
