aged by Granting of Injunction.
An interesting suit was filed in the
City Court yesterday by Mr.. Augustus
Oemler and others against J. r. Sullivan
and John A. Goette. The plaintiff seeks
to revore $3.50 the amount of a bond
signed by the defendants for certain me-
gro oystermen who obtained a restrain
ing order against the plaintiff in Septem-
Der, 1899. The petitioner says that he Is
the owner of certain oyster territory in
oyster creek and Shad river and that the
beds in question are cultivated and plant
ed by him.
1t is alleged that In September, 1899.
William Jones, Nero Wright Jasper
Holmes and others trespassed on the
beds of the plaintiff and that when he
attempted to stop them Jones and forty
three others obtained from the judge of
the Superior Court a temporary injunc-
ton, restraining him from preventing the
said Jones and others from gathering oy-
sters on the beds in question. At that
time the defendants in the present case
signed a bond for $3.50 for any damages
that might be incurred by the granting
of the restraining order.
Mr.. Oemler AYERS that during the time
the restraining order was in force Jones
ct al gathered 5000 bushels OF oysters, VAL
ued at 5000. They were afterward in
dicted for trespass and pleaded guilty to
that charge. The plaintiff alleges that
he has been damaged In sum far greater
than $3.50 and asks that he be given judg-
ment for the amount of the bond. with
interest, from the date the restraining
order was granted.

tered the contest being allowed 10 vote.

nine were against. Master Peacock forgot
his speech for a few moments, and lost

thought differently and awarded II TO Miss
Mary Thomas OF Sparta. whose subject
was 1.-THE Settlers Story"

Dublin, Sandersville. Tennille. Wrights-
