the jury again returned a verdict,
three dissenting, in favor of the de-
PENDANTS, NJ. F. Prosser and J. l.. Kau-
lukou appearing for the plaintiff and
T. McCants Stewart appearing for the
defendants. The case was tried last
term of court before Judge Hardy and
a mixed jury, and the defendants were
then successful, but the Supreme Court
at its last session ordered a new trial

the company against the verdict of the
jury. The contest is between the Ko-

three acres of land, which the defend

which the company claims under a
lease. The case excited unusual COM

watched with keen interest. Judge
Stanley's charge was very able and
exhaustive, lasting nearly an hour.
Among the visitors at the trial were
Judge and Mrs. w. F. Frear and the
