JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT.-The Towsontown
Journal says:
The case of George Y. Wise against George
F. Walker, formerly Sheriff of Hartford coun-
~ and his bondsmen for damages laid at $685.
600 for false arrest and imprisonment came up
for trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county, where it had been removed for trial from
Hartford county There was no response from
the defendant when the case was called, nor had
any appearance been entered by counsel. A
Judgment was then taken by default and jury
lmpaneled to assess the damages. Geo. Y.
Wife testified that he had been arrested in Bel
Air without warrant and lodged in Jail where
he was detained for several hours. There be-
ing no other testimony the case was submitted
to the jury without argument, who returned
verdict assessing the damages at 81 900. Col. d.
q. Mcintosh appeared as counsel for Wise, the
plaintiff. On the 9Th inst. counsel for the de-
PENDANTS filed motion for a new trial, also
motion to strike out judgment and set aside the
verdict.
On August "a, 1885, Wise, on an order of the
States Attorney, was summoned before JUS
tice James a. Fulton to testify in local option
case. He refused to appear and was arrested
and taken before the magistrate. Declining to
answer the questions propounded by the
States Attorney he was committed to jail by
the justice, for contempt. He remained in Jail,
Mr.. Walker says, about half an hour, when he
was released on bail for his appearance at
court Wise brought suit against Sheriff
Walker for arrest and false Imprisonment
An sffidavit for removal was made at
the November term, 1856. The record was pro-
perly made out in May, 1887, but no further
steps were taken by Wise until the Goth OF
January, 1890, when he obtained the papers
in person, and retained them until few days
before the May term of the Baltimore county
court, when he filed them. By inadvertence
no appearance WIS entered by the clerk of the
Towsontown court for Mr.. Walker, whose
