October Court.
The trial of the KellmyerlSharp case
was concluded last Thursday, and the jury,
after mature deliberation, concluded not to
| agree. This was case brought to recover
damages for injuries received in falling
through trap door in passage way from
the reading room to behind the bar. A
ruling, by Judge Garrison, during the
trial is interesting, which was, that if
Kellmyer was in the house for the purpose
of obtaining something, he was entitled to
recover; if not, but from idle curiosity, he
was not entitled to recover.
In the case of Cox VS.. The Delaware
Granite Compang, Judge Garrison granted
the defendant a non suit, because the
plaintiff failed to connect the defendant
with the actual placing of the rope across
the street. This was suit for damages
sustained by riding into rope, alleged to
have been stretched across the street near
Gloucester City, by the defendants who
were constructing road.
