Viewers Report Set Aside by Ruling Of
Judge Archibald.
The most important decision of the
day was that handed down by the pres.
idsnt judgs, in which he sets aside the
report Of the viewers in the Swetland
street bridge case, In summing up the
very lengthy opinion on the question,
Judge Archibald says;
The viewers were appointed to ascertain
and Determine the damages and benefits
accruing from the whole and their report
should show that they have done 80. AS
it stands, they have only considered part
Of the case, aud the map which they re-
turn Is correspondingly defective The
fourth exception Of the city is sustained.
And uow, Aug. 10, 1894, the report Of
the viewers is set aside, and therefore the
case is recommittsd to the same viewers
for further proceedings aud report.
r. w. ARCHIBALD, P. j.
The viewers were Anthony Bauman,
John Cawlsy aud G. f. Van Mort, and
they awarded damages as follows:
Dominic HSalsy. 81, 500; Mary Kssgan,
$50; Sarah Collins, $50; Elizabeth Cav
anaugh, $50; Dominic J. German, $50;
Kate Pierss, $50; James Hsaley. Sl2O

James, Edward, Julia, Isabelle White
and Mrs. Helen Ryan, Mrs. Jennie Nc
Donnell and Mrs, Mary Gibbons, rep
resentlnS the White estate. each $50
The total damages allowed by the view
srs is So, 3,010.
BY having 'only considered a part
of the case" the judge has reference to
the viewers refusal to listen to l. A.
Finch's claim for damages, and his
statement that the map il defective is
based upon the fact that 1t did not
show the whole Improvement intended
and the lot numbers were not accord.
ing to city maps but numbers used ar
bltrarily BY the viewers.
