A motion for a new trial was argued
by City Solicitor Arthur P. Rugg in the
case of Sadie F. Leary VS. the city of
Worcester in which the iury found for
the plaintiff assessing damages in the
sum of $2500. The case was an action
of tort to recover for injuries received
on Sturgis street, through a defective
sidewalk; the plaintiff slipping into a
hole, and, as result Of her injuries,
receiving such shock that she has suf-
Tered from displacement of the womb.
CITY Solicitor Rugg argued that the YER

warranted by the evidence or the weight
OF evidence. Gen. Wood spoke briefly
IN opposition, and Judge Bono reserved
his decision.
