Damages Too Large.


A decision was rendered by Judge
Van Dyke yesterday morning upon the
motion for a new trial in the damage
suit of Gertrude Cox. by her guardian
al Item, against the Los Angeles Term
inal Railway company, ordering that
said motion be granted, for the reasons
set forth in lengthy written opinion
filed.
The facts in the case are set forth in
review by Judge Van Dyke in his opin-
ion. The plaintiff was little girl or
years old when che, with two older
sisters and another little girl. boarded
one OF the trains belonging to the de-
fendant company. for the purpose OF
travelling from Bond station to Tropico
station. Q distance OF about Q mile, At
which latter point 10 situated the school
house at which these children attended.
Very shortly after entering the car the
conductor came around to collect the
fares. There was some little difficulty
between the conductor and the children
as to the fair to be paid. Hs demanded
10 cents each, but the children main
tanned they had up to date only been
required to pay 8 cents for the two elder
and nothing foa the smaller one. Hav-
ing only 20 cents in all, the children
we're In . quandary how to make up
the deficit OF 10 cents. The conductor
solved the difficulty by stopping the
train and putting them off.
Upon the case coming to trial the jury
found for the plaintiff on the special
Issues submitted to them, and also
brought in . general verdict for her in
the sum Of S400.
The court. in the opinion just handed
down. holds that under the charge and
the special findings the only damages
that could be awarded are compsnsa-
tory damages, for the dstrinient p7ox-
imately caused by the wrongful aot oi
putting the plaintiff off, and that the
amount awarded. considering all the
circumstances, suggests ttat the jury
must have acted under some influence,
consciously or unconsciously, not justi-
fed BY the facts, and therefore new
! trial is ordered.
