SUPREME COURT CASES.
Decisions Handed Down to Savannah
Courts


The supreme court has handed down
decisions in a number Of cases. The de-
cisiOn Of Judge MacDonell, of the city
court, was affirmed in the case Of the Sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway vs..
Favley. The foot notes Of the decision
are as follows:
Although the evidence would well have
warranted finding for the defendant, 10
also warranted the verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, the weighing and balancing Of
the whole being matter for the jury.
There was no error in denying a new
trial
In the case of the Savannah Florida
and Western vs.. DuBose, Judge MacDon-
ellis decision is also affirmed as follows:
The evidence was conflicting, and there
was no abuse of discretion in denying a
new trial
In the case Of the Navassa Guano Com
pany VS.. the Commercial Guano Company
Judge MacDonell's decision is reversed.
The foot notes are as follows:
Where by the terms Of a plain and unam-
blguogs written contract, one party pur-
chased from another certain and desig
mated pile OF fertilizers in bulk, the same
being then stored in a named warehouse,
and estimated to he 25314 tons, more or
less" the contract stipulating that the
purchaser should pay for the same at a
SPECIFIED price per ton, and that If there
should be more than 253H tons, the pur-
chaser should pay for the excess at that
price, and if less than 253l5 tons, the seller
should refund the shortage at the same
rate the purchaser was bound to pay the
contract price for the entire lot, although
upon actual measurement 1t proved to be 7O2
7-lO tons, IL not appearing that the seller
practlced any actual fraud in the representa-
tions made by him as TO the quantity and the
evidence showing, as found by the judge, who
tried the case without jury, that the pur
chaser did not in fact act upon any represen-
tatlons made by the seller, but relied upon his
own Judgment as to the quantity Of fertilizers
in the pile.
In the case of McGrath VS.. the City
and Suburban Railway, the decision of
the same court is affirmed as follows:
The evidence showing that in approaching
tho point at which the injury occurred the
driver OF the wagon was engaged in the VIC
lauon OF a city ordinance by driving at a
prohibited speed and the circumstances be-
ing such as that If this violation had not oc-
Cured, the negligence of the defendant would
nave not produced the injury if ordinary dill
gence had been observed by the driver, there
was no error in granting nOnsuit
