 COST OF THE BRoscHART-rUTTLE CASE.
 Apropos of the fact that Henry Futile of Hamden, the defendant in the Broschart case, will probably appeal the case to the supreme court of errors, recapitulation of the amount of costs incurred at the pre- vious trials may be of interest as showing the amount already spent upon the case, and each fresh litigation will only increase the amount to larger proportions. If the defendant accepts the verdict of the jury he will have to pay over $1 1000 besides the $500 damages. The costs in the suit just decided are about $500, and the costs in the previous trial, in which Mr. Broschart was awarded s700 damages and costs, were about the same. In addition the expenses of preparing papers for the supreme court are about $75. In the first trial the fees and mileage of thirty-two witnesses on one side and ten on the other, and twelve jury men for eight days at S2.5O per day for each juryman. In the second trial there
 
 men were employed nine days. Besides the items mentioned above are the lawyers fees
