MARY SANDERS LOSES.
Richard Mansfield Wins i'm the Court
of Appeals.

Richard Mansfield Wins in the Court
of Appeals.
In an opinion. written by Mr. Chief JUS
tive Alvey the Court Of Appeals this after
noon reversed the judgment of the trial
court In the case of Mary Sanders Winter
against Richard Mansfield in which Mrs.
Winter recovered judgment of 81. 300 last
December for balance of salary alleged to
have been due her and unpaid by Mr.. Mans
field.
The suit was filed by Mrs. Sanders. an
actress well known here, December 81, 1895.
She claimed that Mr.. Mansfield had en-
Gagged her. September. 1885, in his company
for the season of 1866 at $75 a week, and
that he subsequently,, December II, 1895
agreed to pay s.. $50 for the balance of the
season in installments of $50 week. After
paying two installments, Mrs. Winter
claimed that Mr.. Mansfield refused to nav
her any more. She therefore sued for the
balance, 81 800.
The Court of Appeals holds that at the
time the suit was filed but 500 was due,
and that that sum being exclusively within
the jurisdiction of justices of the peace, the
District Supreme Court was, therefore,
without jurisdiction.
