VERDIcTs AGAINST A RAILROAD COMPANY
The appeal cases of W. Smithson Forwood
against the Maryland Central Railroad Compa-
ny, and the Railroad Company against Mr.. For.
wood, were tried, on Saturday and Monday, re-
sulting in yerdicts in favor of Mr.. Forwood in
both cases. 1t appeared that in August, 1888,
Mr. Forwood shipped two carloads Of wheat to
Baltimore, by the Maryland Central. Upon the
| arrival of the train at North Avenue station the
wheat was running out of both cars. 1t was
| shipped TO commission house and the loss re-
ported amounted to $34 IS. MIR. Forwood ap.
piled to the railroad company to make good
this loss, which it was at first promised would
be done, but afterwards restitution was refused
| Mr.. Forwood subsequently became indebted to
the railroad company for freight, amounting to
$3.50, and refused TO pay, inasmuch as he
considered that the company owed him. Dur.
ing the fair last spring he was notified that nc
addition could be made to his freight account
He accordingly paid freight on all except the
last lot of goods which came. These the com
pany refused to let him have, unless he first
paid the old freight BILL although he rendered
thereupon repleyied his goods and Justice Lyle
gave judgment in his favor. The railroad com
pany appealed the case to court.
Mr. Forwood then brought suit against the
railroad company for the loss of his wheat, Jus
tice Lyle rendering decision in favor of the
company, on the ground of contributory negli
gence on the part of Mr.. Forwood. Mr.. For
wood also appealed TO court. The replevin case
was tried on Saturday before jury, who sus
tanned the Justices decision in favor of Mr.
Forwood. On Monday the case for the loss Of
the wheat was tried, the jury reversing the de
cision of the Justice and finding n verdict in ia
vor of Mr.. Forwood for the value of his wheat
S34S5. Messrs. Archer & VanBibber appeared
for the railroad company, and Messrs. Geo. Y
Maynadier and VIM. Young for MIR. Forwood.
