IMPORTANT DECISION.
One OF the most important decisions OF
the higher courts, at this term, was de-
livcrcd by Judge Stayton. of the SUI
preme court, to-day, in the ease of the
tity of Galveston vs.. Posnaisaky. The
suit was brought by appellee for dam
ages for injuries received by his little
daughter by falling in II ditch con
structcd by the city for drain
age purposes in its streets along
the edge of the sidewalk,
the injury being aggravated by
her falling on piece of broken glass IN
the gutter, causing u severance of the
knee pan, thus rendering the leg crooked
and stiff, which physicians say will re-
main so for life. Judgment was rem
dered for $4,000 in the latter part of the
year INA. and now amounts to nearly
$1D,UvJ. Without attempting To give tut
mere statement of the decision, the
length of which precludes more, IL is
sufficient to state that the Court held
that, ~ the city was incorporated by Il
special charter, that II was liable for any
injuries occasioned by its negligence
when such injury was not occasioned by
negligence of the injured party.
