Case Argued Before the Supreme Court O
 tbe State.

1 tbe State.
 Bridgeport, April 3O,-In the supreme court yesterday afternoon a case was argued by ex-Congressman DeForest in which novel point was raised through the medium of the old "blue | laws. It was in the suit of Gilbert Horton and his wife against the Nor walk Tramway company, which came up on an appeal by the defendant for whom DeForest and Klein are attor- neys.
 It seems that on Sunday, June IT., 1894, Mrs. Horton was riding on a troll ley car belonging to- the company when two cars came together and she was severely injured. She was in a deli cate condition at the time, and pre- mature birth was the consequence, the child being born dead. Mrs. Horton was afterwards laid up for a long time and, in fact, has never fully recovered her health.
 MT. Horton instituted suit against the road claiming $100OO damages. Pre- vious toher injury Mrs. Horton was em- ployed in shoe factory and earned $7 6 week, and this fact was cited as ad- ditional reason why damages should be allowed for the full amount
 The case came up for trial before Judge Shumway in the superior court in September, 1894. The plaintiff ob- tained verdict for $55O with costs, amounting to $75.37 more.
 The defense claimed that the plain tiff, in proving her damages, was oblig- ed to trace her cause of action and claim for more than nominal damages to an illegal act of the company to which she was a party. This illegal act consisted of the bargain between the plaintiff and the defendant for trans portation on Sunday, which, 1t was claimed, was in violation of the statute laws of the state. The defense there fore, asserted that Mrs. Horton could not claim more than nominal damages. Judge Shumway overruled the claim, and awarded damages as above.
