Court Notes.
In the United States Circuit court Judge
Wallace has decided in the case of the New
York and Charleston Steamship company
vs.. Alexander HARRISON in favor of the plain
tiff. The suit grew out of the trip of the
First regiment, G. N. e., together
with Governor BigeIow and staff and the
Governors Foot Guards to the Yorktown
Centennial celebration. The steamer City
of Charlestown was chartered for the trip
from New York to Charleston and return
for Sc, 00O The soldier boys did not think
their accommodations good enough, or in
they returned by rail. One half of the
amount, 50, 900. was paid for the use of the
steamer, and the company, through ex-Gov-
ernor Ingersoll, brought suit to recover the
balance. The case was originally tried
before Judge Shipman, who on tech
meal grounds, decided that Mr.. Har-
bison, who was then Quartermaster General,
was not responsible for the claim. The de-
fence that the steamer was not properly
equipped for the trip was not countenanced
by the court From this decision the steam
ship company appealed to Judge Wallace,
who holds that the law is such that individ-
uals are liable in case of the kind. The
other defence was that Mr.. HARRISON was not
responsible as an individual, as he was the
agent for the State of Connecticut in the
matter. If the case is not taken to the Su-
preme court of the United States MIR.
HARRISON will have to settle. and will be re-
imbursed at some future time by the State.
