far Fire Cents and COSts.-Justice Walter rem |
dered his decision to-day in the case OF William
GOckeler against the Washington and George
town Railroad Company. This case was heard !
10y Justice Walter last week-Mr. Laskey for
plaintiff, and Mr. Bradley, jr., for defendant |
Mr.. Gockeler sued for damages, laid at 800 |
for being refused ride Oh 1th-street car after
having rendered his fare-a three-cent note and !
two cOrpers. The justice decides that although |
the tEree-cent notes are not much in circula-
ton, the government not having repudiated |
them they are a legal tender, and as the plain |
tin did rot prove any damages TO have been in
CURED other than losing his ride. he gave iudg-
men' for the plaintih for the value OF the ride
five cCnts-and the costs, which will swell the |
judgment to - Il. Both parties appear salts
fed with the decision.
