Interesting Case is Being
Heard in the City
Court
AGAINST THE A. { B..
Young Man Injured Some Time Ago
Sues fer $4,000 Damages-The
Case Will be Concluded Some
Time Today.

In the city court yesterday the case
of Willie Robertson VS.. the Atlantic
and Birmingham railroad, damages,
to the amount of $4,000, was tai pn
up and occupied the attention of the
court during the entire day 1t was
not completed yesterday afternoon
when the court recessed The law
yers have finished their arguments
and the case will go to the jury today
after Judge Gale delivers his charge.
The plaintiff alleges that he was
in the employ of the defendant com.
pany, when he was seriously injured
through the negligence OF said com
pany. 1t seems that young Robinson
was under an engine at the A. & b.
shops one night doing some work. It
is claimed that the engineer without
any notification whatever, put the en-
gine in motion, which resulted in his
injury.
On the other hand the defense
claims that young Robinson had no
business under the engine at the time
of the accident, that the engineer rung
the bell before moving the engine
and that it is believed that the young
man was asleep when the accident
occurred and that it was through his
negligence and not of the railroad
company. The case is being hard
fought on both sides The road is
represented by Crovatt & Whitfield
and the plaintiff by j. d. Sparks.
After the case is disposed of this
morning the court will begin work
on the criminal docket There are
quite a number Of cases and the ses-
sion will last for a day or two longer.

certify the fact of adulteration to the

tication to prosecute the offenders i'll
the United States court but if the ar
ticle adulteratcd comes under the
state law then the solicitors are re-
quined to prosecute all offenders UNI
der the law in the courts of the state.
