AN INTER RESTING SUIT.
Decision Compelling Consolidated Road
 to Pay an Insane Woman SC, 100.

Boston, April 1.-The full bench of the supreme court to-day overruled the defendants exceptions in the case of
 Julia F. Rooney against the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, sus- taining verdict of $6,100 returned for the plaintiff in the superior court. The plaintiff was injured in a collision in October, 1894. In August 1895, she saw the body of James Dunn, a fellow mill hand, after she had witnessed another accident at Hyde Park Hallucinations regarding engines and trains grew so pronounced that she was committed to
 an insane asylum.
 At the trial of her suit for damages
 the jury was instructed that the de- fendant would not be liable if the plain tiff's condition was not caused by the
 accident to her, but by subsequent oc-
 currences, or either of them The su-
 preme court says that this instruction
 was correct. The principal exception
 taken by the defendant related to the
 instructions of the presiding judge that
 in computing the damages the jury
 might estimate on the basis of an an
 nuity, although they could not take an
 annuity table as basis. The supreme court in sustaining the superior court
 says that it was for the jury to find the facts and then use methods of com-
 putation applicable to them, Judge
 Lathrop dissents from the opinion of the majority.
