Iiveryman Teafer Cannot Recover for
Loss OF His Team.
The suit of NJ. NJ. Teater. the livery
stable keeper, against the city for 81, oUo
damages by the loss OF q valuable team
and buggy by runaway on Grant street
bridge on June Is. ended in a non-suit
being obtained from Judge Osborn yester-
day by the assistant corporation counsel
after the attorneys for Teater had closed
their case.
On the day of tho accident Teater al
lowed q man named James Lewis to hire
the rig to take buggy ride. On Grant
street bridge the team ran away and at q
sharp curve where there was no railing the
whole rig went into the bay. The horses
we're both killed aud the buggy smashed 80
kidding wood. Lewis was considerably
injured. AT the trial yesterday the assist
ant corporation counsel tried TO get Lewis
&c admit In his testimony that he was
drunk when the team got away from him,
~ was reported at the time. but Lewis re-
piled that he had taken no liquor OF any
kind on that day until after the accident.
Lewis was the last witness for the plain
til. and when he had concluded non-suit
was moved for BY the city's attorney on
she ground that the city was not compelled
20 maintain the bridge in such a condition
that teams might be driven over IL at iu-
rious speed, or that rnnaways upon it
might take place without harm. This
view OF the case was taken By the Judge.
