.BUCkROE BEACH
Line L00SES SUIT
Supreme Court OF Appeals De-
cides in Favor of Bick-
ford.
PRISON FOR sATTERFlELD
Judge White Upholds Lynch
burg court-only Two Opin-
ions Handed Down.

The Supreme Court of Appeals handed
down but two opinions on yesterday both
of which, however were of general in
terest.
III the Newport News ana OLD Point
Railway and Electric Company We. Bick-
ford. Judge Harrison handed down an
opinion affirming The judgment of the
Circuit Court of Elizabeth City county.
The case originated in n motion for
Judgment by the electric company,
which operates railway into Buckrce
Beach, against Bickford. on an oren ac-
count growing out Of the lease of hotel
premises at that resort. Bickford pleaded
eviction from the leased premises and
also filed other pleas setting forth I'm de-
tail, as the opinion says, the NEST fla
grant acts by the electric company of
trespass upon the leased premises and
violation of Bickford's rights whereby
his business was broken up and destroyed.
and the damage thus sustained was
pleaded as an Offset to the company's de-
mand. AS a result of the trial. Biclsford
obtained verdict and juiGmcut against
the electric company for j;293S
The Supreme Court holds chat the con-
tention that Bickfords claim for dam
ages was res adjudcata is not well found
ed, as of two suits, in which 1t was in
sisted that the claim had been settled
one was for specific performance of the
contract for renewal of the lease, and
was terminated before the acts here conf
planned of were committed, and the other
was a bill for an injunction enjoinlng the
placing of guards by the company at .he
gates to the fence around the leased prop
crty and interfering with defendants
management OF the premises, which was
dissolved on the ground that those mat
tiers were then under the control ofthe
United States court.
AS to other errors assigned il is held
that the court properly refused to re-
qure defendant to file statement giving
the particulars of his defense, as these
particulars were fully set out in tile pleas
filed; that it was proper to allow the spc-
cial pleas to be filed, because the dcfen-
dant's claim was based upon matters di-
rectly connected with, and injuries grow
ing out of the contract sued on. and
could be asserted as an Offset under the
statute; that n motion for Judgment for
money under the statute is an action at
law, and pleas of offset can be filed In
such proceeding: and that an error on
the face OF the verdict to the prejudice
OF the defendant is no ground for COM
plant on the part of the plaintiff. and
willy not sustain motion by plaintiff in
arrest Of Judgment.
Other errors suggested in II brief on
| behalf of plaintiff in error filed after .llc
brief of defendant in error was ilad. IL
is said. cannot be considered under the
ruling of the court.

punished In accordance with it's provi-
sons 1t was commended that the verdict
OF the Jury was not sufficient because
under n former decision OF the Supreme
Court 1t was held that a Judgment OF
conviction under similar statute where
the Jurys verdict was. I'VE, the jury.
find the prisoner guilty as charged In the
indictment" was erroneously rendered:
the reason given In that case being that
it was neither admitted nor found by the
jury that the accused had been sentenced.
etc. In this case the verdice of the jury
was, I'VE. the jury. find the prisoner
guilty as charged in the within indict-
ment, and fix his punishment at one
year in the State pententlary." The
court holds that while the Jury did not
expressly find that the accused had been
twice before sentenced for petit larceny.
they by necessary implication find that
fact by the infection OF a punishment
which they could not otherwise have
lawfully imposed upon him.
AS to the remaining assignment OF
error. 1t Is declared that tho evidence
justified the finding OF the jury, aril
therefore the court properly overuled
the motion for a new trial on the ground
OF the insuHicicncy OF the evidence.

Satterfield Case.

In the case of Satterfield VS.. the Com
monwealth. from the Corporation Court
OF Lynchburg, the Supreme Court OF
Appeals refused to grant n new trial.
The Indictment under which Sattcrfleld
was convicted was for petit larceny.
charging also that he had been twice he
fore sentenced in the United States for
the like offense. In regard 10 the assign
inent OF error to the refusal OF the lower
court to sustain the demurrer to the in
dictment. Judge Whittle, writing the
opinion OF the Supreme Court says that
it is not necessary that a warrant for
petit larceny charge the felonious taking
OF the property alleged to have been
stolen; and that the charge that the ac-
cusod did unlawfully take, steal and
carry away the property of another dis
tingulshes the onense from n mere tres
pass, and stamps 1t as petit larceny The
warrants set forth In the Indictment as
those under which Satterfield had been
formerly sentenced for petit larceny are
therefore held to sufficiently charge that
offensc.
The fact that the accused was fined
for the second offense instead or being
punished in accordance with the statute
prescribing the penalty for Il second con-
viction, is said not to affect the suffl-
cheney Of the Indictment ms one for q
third offense, because the procedure un-
Ocr lne Stdtule pToVIulHB punishment IDr
the second offense Is not Intended to be
exclusive, but leaves unimpaired the au-
thority OF the Commonwealth to prose-
cute and punish an offender independ-
emily for successive offenses of petit 1c.r-
ceny,
1t Is further held that 1t was not nee
essary to nllege that previous convictions
of the accused was by a court of compe-
tent jurisdiction. because the charter of
the City of DanVllln

cases, and the courts will take judicial
notice Of such a city charter and tho
jurisdiction It conlers without avcrmept
or proof. Therefore. 1t is said, the de-
murrer was properly ovcrruled
The statute under which Satterned
was tried and convicted In this case pro-
.yides that ''where q person Is convicted
