TIE CLOSE OF COURT.
CASE RENDEk A VERDICT OF
$3.50 Fob THE PLAINTIFF.

The closing session of Court recon
vened at 3. O'Clock Saturday afternoon
with the Chief Justice and Associate
Justice Houston on tho bench, Judge
W0otten having gone homo ON the noon
train. The jury in the case of Jones,
vs.. Belt, who had retired 1t Q. 40 O'Clock
were still out, and the time was utilized
BY the attorneys In presenting motions
and attending to other minor business.
| The d. cisiOn in tho McCaulley will
case, which was render ed by the Court
of Errors and Appeals last October vas
real. 1t is to the effect that according
to the will Of the late William Nc
Caulley, bis widow is entitled to her
dover In the estate, instead Of an equal
share with the other heirs, - was con-
| tended by the counsel for tho heirs.
BY this decision Mrs. McCaulley will
receive about $38, 200.
The time rolled slowly on, and the
minutes heightened to An hour, and
still nothing was heard from tho jury,
1t was evident that there was . hitch
somewhere, and the report became
current that they could not agree.
The wind and rain beating against the
Court House windows, with the heat "a
by the dampness, made the room deci-
dedly uncomfortable, and very few but
those having business with the Court,
or applicants for liquor license. remain
ed.
Shortly after four O'Clock the gas
was lit, and another hour spent in
waiting for the jury. Five o'clock
tolled from the, bell in the tower Of the
building, and.a few minutes Later Bail
III Deakyne, cleared tho Jury box Of
those who had taken seats there, and
the jurors filed in. When all were in
their places, ProthonotAry Maxwell
called their names, and In reply to the
usual question they stated that they
had agreed upon verdict.
The foreman then stated that they
found $3.50 damages and coats in favor
of the plaintiff, and they were ..discharg-
ed from any further attendance. The
amount claimed by tho plaintiff was
$15, 900, and it is understood that all the
jurors were agreed as soon rs they
retired, that he was entitled to receive
something, and that the only trouble
was in settling ON an amount satisfac.
tory to all.
This case was important, from the
fact that it is now established by the
charge Of the Court, and the verdict of
the jury, that if horse and vehicle of
any kind are left standing ON the street
unhitched or unguarded, even for q
single minute, the owner is liable for
any damage that may ensue, should
the horse from any cause run away, or
as, in the case just tried, walk off. At
80 O'Clock the Court adjourned until
February, and Chief Justice Comegys,
with Associate Justice Houston, left
for Dover on the 6.25 train.
