RULING OF THE DORCHESTER COURT.
The Dorchester Court Rules That A Motion For
A New Trial Must Be Made Within Four
Days After TheRenderng Of The Yer

dict IN ] ne PREVIOUS Casa.
A motion by the attorneys for the de
PENDANT in the case of Adams VS. The
County Commissioners of Somerset Coun
ty, for new trial was made in Court Fri
day afternoon. This case was tried
here, but few days ago and was decided
in favor of Mr.. Adams, the jury awarding
him $4,000, as his compensation for in
juries received while driving along the
county road and owing to the alleged
| neglect of the county to keep its road in
proper condition, his horse falling through
bridge, throwing him out, and 'nflictin g
quite serious injuries.
Hons Joshua Miles and John r. Patti.
son appeared for the defence and Messrs.
Goldsborough s. Fletcher and Hon. James
E. Ellegood appeared for the plaintiff
The attorneys for the defence gave
several reasons sustaining their motion
for new trial, of which the following
may be mentioned: That the amount
awarded was excessive, the misconduct
of the jury as whole, contrary to the
rulings of the court, contrary to the evil
dence given, and especially because of
the misconduct of one of the jurors,
The reasons seem TO be adequate for
the awarding of new trial but the neg
lect of council to file their atfiiavits con-
firming their reasons for asking a new
trial was the question that took about
three hours to decide. The motion was
finally overruled by Judge Holland Friday
m orning, on the ground that the motion
for the trial was not made within four
days after the rendering of the verdict.
This motion for new trial was met by
Mr.. Frederick a. Fletcher, on of the at
torneys for the plaintiff, who quoted por
tions from Poe, and also referred to the
ruling of the Dorchester Court in refer
ence to the matter pending before them.
Mr.. Fletcher said that according to the
ruling of the court, and as tie defendants
had not made their motion within the four
days required by law, they were not en-
titled to q new trial. This statement was
borne out by Mr.. James E. Ellegood and
the Court
Again Mr. Fletcher said in part :" but
if the motion for new trial be founded
on facts which do not appear from the
papers in the case the rules of the court
require these facts to be verified by aft
davit at the time the motion is made"
The lawyers for the defendant claimed
that any talk of juror with an outside
person will invalidate the verdict of the
case; the attorneys for the plaintiff on the
other hand claim that any hal mless talk of
a juror with an outside person does not
invalidate the verdict rendered by the
jury.
1t was this question that caused quite a
spirited debate in court Friday after
noon, between opposing council.
The defence have noted exceptions and
we understand will take the case to the
Court of Appeals.

"If the Federal authorities demand

have Thaw in custody have no other
course than to produce him. The
service Of a subpoena en either Thaw
or the New York authorities would
require his keepers to turn him over
