CORPORATION-IT IS LIABLE TO |
ATTACHMENT-A MOTION FOR A
NEW TRIAL IN THE GLITTER"
CASE REFUSED.
NEW CASTLE, December7
1.-THE proceedings of court subsequent to
those published in the GAz ETTE of yester-
day are as follows:]
At twelve o'clock the argument ceased
and the Judge charged the jury in the at
tachment case against the F., w. & b. h.
He said It was TO be regretted that so
| much time had been taken up by the
counsel for the respondent in making
such stirring appeals to your prejudices
rather than your reason. All that has
| been said has been against this corporation
| as being body beneath whose hand the
| citizens and their interests are crushed to
| the earth. With prejudice you have moth
ing to do; but have only to deal with legal
| facts. 1t is the case In all such suits Tor
the opposing counsel to hold up to censure
and impugn the motives of all similar
organizations; but it should none the
less control your minds. These institu-
t ons are brought into being by your own
acts. The men in your Assembly, who
represent you, vote that aid which be-
J comes their life and vitality. They have
become an established necessity; because
no man has the means whereby their sue
cess may be carried to a terminus.
: II seems to us that the question is mar
rowed down TO very small point. 1t is
this: Is Mr.. Lawsen paying clerk of this
company? For your guidance we refer
n you to the testimony that has been ad-
g duced from the witness stand. 1t need not
/ be g rnerally known whether he is a paying
clerk not. If he pays the bills of the
company, then It is to him the bills should
> be presented. He proves that he is the
. cOmpany's pay-master, and by this title
), he is recognized by those doing business
| with the conn pany. Being known as such
Il and unless it be shown that he is restricted
q to pay certain specified bills, then the com
:, pany is responsible for the amount.
you can prove from the testimony that IN
was paying clerk, and held that Office b,
:, right of appointment, then 1t Is the sam
q as though the company were one individ
% ual, and you will decide that the attach
re ment Is legal and within the limits of tn
~ laws of this State
N deliberation returned with verdict in Ii
ol vor of respondent to the amount of $95 q
(. principal and interest.
