The first case moved was that of
Howard w. Miller " the West Jersey
& Seashore Railroad.
1t seems that on Aug. 6, 1900, Mr..
Miller, of Paulsboro, a commission
merchant,in Phila., crossed the ferry
and went to board a train for home.
While standing, talking with George
Longstreth, waiting for his train to
back up, a truck loaded with trunks,
pushed by an employee, who was also
dragging baby coach was run over
his foot. The injury was SO serious
that Mr.. Miller had to give up his
profitable business, suffered much
pain and has since been lame. In a
previous trial Miller was awarded
$3.50 by jury.
Judge Lloyd granted the defendants
non-suit on the ground that there
was no evidence to show anticipatory
negligence on the part of the rail-
road, therefore plaintiff could not re-
cover.
Judge Wescott gathered up his pa
pers, directed the stenographer to
give him a complete transcript of
what had occurred, and gave notice of
A non-suit was also ordered in the
case of Jacob F. Rodan v. West Jer-
sey and Seashore Railroad Company
About year ago Rodan's colt got on
the tracks and coming in contact with
the Third rail died quick In order
ing non-suit Judge Lloyd said the
horse was a trespasser and that under
the law the owner could not recover
An owner must keep animals on his
own property. There was no evidence
to show that the Railroad Company
was negligent.
Judge Lloyd also directed a nom
suit in the case of Mary Moore V. the
Public Service Corporation.
