SUSTAINED.
Supreme Court Holds His DeCiS-
ion in Township Case Was
Correct.

Special to the Evening News.
TRENTON. Nov. 15:--In an opin-
ion handed down by Justice Garrison,
the supreme court as told in yester-
days NEWS, has rendered a decision
sustaining The verdict of the district
court of Perth Amboy in the case of
Ferdinand l.. Graves against the
township Of Woodbridge The YER
diet of the lower court was in favor
of the defendant.
The supreme court based its de-
cision on this general statements:
Findings of fact by district court
upon trial without 4 jury, are bind
ing upon this court unless unsupport-
ed by testimony
c. d. Ward was counsel for Graves
and Ephraim Cutter for the town
ship.
The plaintiff sued the township for
the damages occasioned by his car
riage being overturned by Il miry
place in the highway The action was
founded upon the following statute;
"That if any damage shall happen
to any person or persons, his, her, or
their team, carriage or other prop
erty, by means of the insufficiency or
want of repairs of any public road in
any of the townships of this state, the
person or persons sustaining such
damage shall have the right to re-
cover the same with costs in an ac-
zion in any court Of competant iuris-
Il in, gtn To To hn n ri
by said person or persons, his, her or
their executors or administrators,
against such township"
The opinion says it was incumbent
upon the plaintiff, under his state Of
demand, to prove by preponderance
of testimony the want of repair to
the highway to which he ascribed his
accident.
Continuing it says; The state of
the case settled by the judge who
tried the issue in the district court of
Perth Amboy, without a jury, fails
to show that the plaintiff successfully
sustained this burden. but on the con
trary, when taken in connection with
his verdict, shows that the highway
had Just been repaired and that the
accident was attributable to natural
causes for which the defendant was
not chargeable.
There is nothing in the case that
suggests that this finding of fact is
not supported by the testimony. I'M
der these circumstances the judg-
ment of the district court must be af-
frmed
