skill or negligence OF the defendants mo-

screaming wildly for help he aroused sew
eral persons living nearby and they pro-
cured a rope. A moose was formed and re-
peated attempts were made TO cast II
over the victim. Johnson continued TO dis
appear at a great rate and soon only ono
arm remained free. A lucky throw By
one OF the rescuers finally noosed the up
raised arm and Johnson got the rope
round his shoulders and was dragged out.

A question was ruled out by the trial
Judge because IT involved an assumption
concerning which no evidence had been
offered This question was asked in the
cross examination OF an expert and the
appellate court says there is no fault TO
be found with this ruling.
The rest of the opinion is as follows:
THE newly discovered evidencevrelied on
by defendant in support OF its petition for
a new trial is merely cumulative. and is
not of such a character as to be so con-
trolling upon the point TO which It relates
that II would probably affect the verdict
II does not. therefore. constitute a
sufficient ground for a new trial.
I'VE are OF the opinion that the dam
ages awarded by the jury in this case are
excessive, and n new trial will therefore
be granted upon this question. unless the
plaintiff within 10 days from the filing OF
this opinion will remit all I'm excess Of 5000
and take judgment for that sum with
costs

"After IL fierce battle lasting two

had opposed to us at least three divi-
sions OF the Japanese army, with 10

The enemy's fire, particularly that
from four gunboats and six torpedo
boats, completely annihilated our bat
terics mounted at Kincllau. The Fifth
regiment, which was posted on this
spot, stood their ground h~croically.
Their fire as well as that of our bitter
les and the gunboat Bobr off Khou-
noueza inflicted enormous losses ON the
Japanese.
Our losses amounted to 30 officers
and 800 men killed or wounded. We
blew up or damaged all our guns
which we had to leave except those
that the japanese had put out of ac-
ton.
