RENDERS ANOTHER DECISION IN THE
FAMOUS CASE or THE WOODBURY.
HEIGHTS LAND COMPANY VS.
CONGRESSMAN LOUDEN-
SLAGER
Former Decisi0n M0difed By One half.

Former Decis5oR Modified By One half
Last Monday was Opinion Day in the
New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals,
and among many important decisions was
that noted above, of especial interest 10
this county where the facts as well as all
parties are well known.
The case has been before the Courts for
FIVE years, and decisions heretofore have
uniformly held that Loudenslager was
liable to the Company and must repay in
full the difference between the sum he
actually paid TO the original owners of land
which he purchased by order of the Com
pany while its President, and the amount
be took from the treasury for that pur-
pose-something over $4,000.
Under this last decision says a Trenton
paper, Loudenslaeer will only have to
account for one-half the profits made by
the sale of the land originally belonging
to ex Senator Joseph B. Joe. The Court
was not unanimous in voting to modify
previous DEGREES, Chief Justice Magic and
Justices Collins, Dixon, Van Sickle and
Adams voting to affirm the decree in its
entirety.
This was the second time that the case
was before the Court of Errors. In the
previous decision the Court refused to mod
ify, the members of the Court being divid-
ed Justice LippiDcott and Judge Vre-
denburg changed from their original views
and yesterday voted to modify. The other
judges voting to modify we're Garrison,
who wrote the opinion, and Gummere,
