! EXPENSIVE LITIGATION The case of Hall
rs. Town, cause in which a verdict was
rendered Friday in the County Court, illus
trates the beauties Of the jury system. 1t
was an action to recover the sum Of twenty
five dollars for the labor of the plaintiff,
The trial occupied two days, or the greater
portion thereof There were in attendance
upon the court,
Four sheriffs - '' " 1000
Three judges ---.-.---.-. 2Snl
County Clerk. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 800
si51m
The Plaintiff paid to the state Jury iee Of 6.ru
Leaving the sum OF $4,000
paid by the State as the cost of the trial -,
and to this add the Court House and ITS
care. There were several witnesses for each
party in attendance for three or four days.
Four lawyers were employed, and their
services cannot be reckoned at less than
S2.5Oper day.
All in all it was a ridiculous and sorrow
ful sight to see so much time, trouble and
expense all thrown away in quarrel over
so small sum. The verdict was for the
plaintiff to recover on -eu dar iages which
we understand the defendant is willing to
pay.
Against the tyrants of England the trial
by jury was safeguard, but whether it has
not outgrown its usefulness to great ex
