Court opened at 10 o'clock Judges
Wootten and Houston on the bench,
All day was consumed by the argu-
ment in the case of Jefferson & Co. 0s
Brady & Co.
Mr.. Bayard occupied most of the
morning In the his remarks to the court
mainly arguing points of law and citing
authorities to sustain him. He spoke
strictly to the jury, claiming that there
has been contributary negligence pro-
ven on the part of ihe plaintiff, which
prevented them from recovering. This
question of negligence, and one of
principal and agent, seems to be the
controversy In this case. The plaintiff
claiming the tug was the principal and
the barges towed the agent and the de
fence that the barge towcd has CONTROL
over the tug towing at 1.30. Court ad
journed until 8 p. M.
After the reassembling of Court at
P. M. ,Whiteley for the defence replied
He addressed the Court at great length
citing numerous authorities in reply tt
Mr.. Bayard. He turned to the jury
touching briefly on the facts scohtendinl
that no negligence had been proven or
there part and that the whole neglec
rested ON Captain Smithers of tho tug
Swallow" He should have SLOWED
up when he saw the sloop "Helen" as
it was proven 300 yards away.
He apologized to the jury for taking
up so.much Of their time and closed il
saying he confidently expected yer
dict at their hands Of eleven hundred
and ninety eight dollars.
There being but half hour befor
adjournment. Judge Wootten dis
charged the jury until Monday morn
ming, when the charge of the court viii
bo given.
Now that this prolonged suit is ende'
