LEoN0RA ALDls ALSO LOSES
Verdict for 5000 for Breach o
ProutaS Eos Aside.

The General Term the Superior Court
to-day handed down an opinion on the
appeal from the verdict for $500 against
George Stewart and in favor Of Leonorn
Adds for breach Of promise.
The General Term reverses the judg-
meM and orders q new trial, on the
ground that the admission of evidence
as to the property of the defendants
mother constituted error and the error
was Of substantial character. The opin-
ion adds:
THE case is entirely devoid Of any
sensational feature. and aside from the
defendants refusal to redeem his prom
ise Of marriage, the conduct OF the de-
fendant, according to the plaintiffs own
testimony. was that OF q gentleman.
THE plaintiff never earned but a small
compensation, and the defendant was
and is worth practically nothing In a pc
cuniary point Of view. Under these cir
cumstances the verdict OF the jury for
IS 900 may be presumed to have been
largely influenced by the fact that the
plaintiff was permitted to prove that the
defendants mother owned property and
real estate. Judgment reversed and new
trial ordered"
