Anthony Higgins, appearing for the plain
tiff, asked that he be allowed to so change
his pleadings that the words I'm the exer-
else Of due care and caution" and by In.
creasing the amount Of damages from
$40, 900 to $50, 200, might appear. Senator
George Gray for the railroad company was
not opposed to the amendment but
thought that as he had not prepared his
case to meet Mr.. Higgins new issue That
he should not be forced to trial. He
therefore submitted motion for con-
tinuance.
Mr.. Higgins of course vigorously OPP
posed such action, holding that the
amendment did not change the issue. Mr.
Gray further contended that as tho case
had been before continued and both sides
given leave to amend Mr.. Higgins should
have submitted his amendment at that
time.
Lengthy argument followed and court
decided that the amendment changed the
issue and accordingly postponed the case
until March 81.
