SUPREME COURT OPINION.
The Gwaltney Case, Which Went II
From Buncombe County.

The Gwaltney Case, Which Went Up
From Buncombe County.
The opinion of the Supreme court has
been handed down in the case of Jesse A.
Gwaltne! vs.. Scottish Carolina Timber
company, from Buncombe- an action
for damages to a dam and fish trap
caused bv hoating logs placed in the
stream. In the opinion. by Justice Mac.
Rae, it is held:
l. That after the jury found that the
river was not hoatable stream, it was
immaterial that the injury was caused
by the negligence OF the defendant, II 1t
was in fact caused by his act.
2. II the river is not floatabe stream
and the dam was destroyed in conse-
quence Of the defendants acts, the de-
iendant is liable to the plaintiff for such
actual damages as naturally resulted.
3. The measure of damages depends
upon the injury to the plaintiffs proper
ty in the fish traps and dam, which
would be greater TOR the destruction OF
property to which he had a title in Ice
simple than to mere property posses
sion. In no case could yindictive dam
ages be given. Nor is the cost OF building
or rebuilding the dam the measure; bnt
taking into consideration these things
and the actual value Of the property bS
reason of its production, the actual dam
age is to be estimated.
+. Evidence as to the number anc
value OF the fish annually caught in th'
traps. and the fact that the plaintiff wa
in the habit OF selling the fish 50 cough
at the hotel. was competent to show th
character and immediate consequence o
showing prospective or speculative dam
ages.
5. There is no objection to counss
using stenographc notes in rehea SIM
parts OF the testimony to the jury. whc
they are read as aids to his memory an
are according to his recollection. Blu
they derive 10 additional weight troi
being such notes. but are simply cour
sells statements not under oath, but i
the course of the argument as to his III
derstand;ng of the testimony.
