LINCOLN. May II.
The case of Arndt VS. The State Insurance
company, of Des Mones, Ia, was decided IN
favor of the defendant. After an all nights
sit the jury brought in sealed verdict, this
morning, as per instructions.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Field and
jury tried the case of Charlotte A. Delaney
VS. A. l.. Metcaf. The suit was to recover
possession of house on M street, which the
defendant was alleged to have held by forci
BILE detainer; he was IN possession Of the
property when the suit was commenced, but
had quit it long:ago, still, however, remain
ing liable under the law. 1t appeared that
John Latham had occupied the house until
he broke up Housekeeping in this city; and
then, considering he had an unexpired term
under his claim of q yearly lease, he rented
the premises to Mr. Metcalf. The question
for the jury was whether Latham had this
uneXpired term, and the verdict was IN favor
of the plaintiff.
There is another suit still pending by Mrs.
Delaney VS. Mr.. Latham, which will be tried
to the court.
To-day, Judge Field and a jury had OIL
trial the case of the Whitebreast Coal COM
pany VS. A. S. Godfrey. Something over 500
is involved III this action, Mr.. Godfrey, a
well known merchant of Lincoln, claiming
that sum in shortage in seven cars of hard
coal which he bought from the plaintiff COM
the exception of the shortage. and this suit IS
to recover this. The plaintiff claimed that
the coal was bought in transit and at ship
pers weights, and IL there was shortage
they knew nothing of it and had themselves
paid for the coal. The defendants claim is
that he bought the coal free on board at Lin
coin, and he had paid for the full amount of
coal the Burlington freight bills showed he
had received 1t yet remains for the jury TO
reconcile by their verdict the differing state
ments as to the mode Of sale and purchase.
