Bridgeton pioneer., 1890-05-15


the January term, was argued after
the jury had gone out in the Bunel-
Coney case. Walter H. Bacon appear
ing in behalf of Koker, and John s.
Mitchell representing Mr. Mcpherson,
The papers were submitted to Judge
Reed, and decision on the motion will
be rendered probably next week.
This concluded the business of court
for the week, and court adjourned.
The jury in the case of Bunel against
John w. Coney came in last night with
verdict of $500 for the plaintiff. The
general feeling is that the jury did the
best it could, but that it did not do
half enough for the girl.
The jury was not discharged after
rendering their verdict, and as there
seems to be no one to discharge it, can
draw its pay still.
The Constables are also not dis
charged, and reported for duty this
morning.
Judge Reed left on the morning
train, there being no further business
for the Circuit Court. Whether he
will return here next week, does not
appear, but it is supposed that he will
come on Monday to hear the remon-
strances in the case of Martin Madden's
application for hotel license at Deer
field, and also the argument on a mo-
tion for new trialin the Kooker.Mc-
Pherson case.
