PaiRe's Suit for Damages.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Norwood d.
rected the City Court jury that was try
ing the case of John d. Paige against
the New England and Savannah Steam
ship Company to find a verdict for the
defendant. In accordance with this in
struction the verdict was returned, with

DR.. Paige sued the company for dam
ages for the death of horse, valued by
him at $1,000, which was shipped from
Boston to Savannah. Subsequent to the
arrival Of the animal in Savannah 1t died,
and It was the contention of the plaintiff
that death had resulted from injuries re-
ceived during the trip, and produced by
the negligence and carelessness of the
crew of the vessel
The case has been three times tried in
the City Court and has made couple of
trips to the Supreme Court. The last trial
resulted in verdict for the plaintiff for
half the amount for which he sued, and
this verdict was overruled by the decision
of the Supreme Court.

the same as has been given at the former
trials and the points of law seem 10 have
been settled by the last decision Of the
Supreme Court. Mr.. r. NJ. Cunningham,
Jr,, who represented the defendant, moved

for his client and this motion the court
granted The plaintiff was represented
