Poughkeepsie, n Y, Feb. t1.-Justice
Morschauser to-day rendered an opinion
which practically reduces by half bills OF
witnesses employed by claimants before
Aqueduct Commission No. s. In one case.
where the allowance for property was $500,
the witnesses bills were $500. Witnesses
have been in the habit Of charging not
only for the day in which they gave testi-
rnony. but for the days they were waiting
around the court while other Witnesses
were testifying. Justice Morschauser says:
NO more should he allowed for witnesses
than is reasonable to compensate for neces-
sary services, which may include one day
for view and examination of the prop
erty, except in unusual and exceptional
ases, when an additional day may be re-
quired, and for such days as the witness is
necessarily before the commission 10 give
testimony. This means when actually Il
witness. and while so being used the actual
expenses incurred are 70 be allowed and
should be itemized."
