ward Student, on Trip to the
Pacific Coast.

Stewart ID. Marquis, son of Rev. DR.
/ w. S. Marquis of this city, has just
been chosen as one of the four com
mencement speakers at Lake Forest
college. This honor is given to those
members of the senior class who
ranking high in scholarship. are con.
sidered the best qualified to repre-
sent the class on that occasion. For
many years the college has followed
the custom of inviting a speaker from
outside to address the graduating stu
dents, but last year a change was
made back to the old fashion of let
ting the students represent them
selves, and everybody was greatly
gratified with the experiment, which
has now been accepted as the far SUI
perior arrangement.
AS a member of the college glee
club, of which he IS also leader. Mr.
Marquis is enjoying just now privi-
lege which does not often fall to the
lot of a college student. The Santa Re
railroad maintains at the junction
points along its line club houses for
its men, and often entertainments are
provided at these places for the men
and their families.
ON A SPECIAL CAR.
Occasionally a college glee club is
put on the program, and this year the
privilege of making a trip the length
of the line TO the Pacific coast has
fallen TO the Lake Forest college club.

the club is now giving concerts at var
lous points along the line. and viii

William b. Marquis, now student
at Harvard and a member Of the Har-
ward Glee club as he was formerly a
member Of that OF Lake Forest, has
gone along on the trip as a special re-
enforcement to the club. Over appH-
cation TO his work at Cambridge has
obliged him to ease up on his eyes
for time. and he was therefore avail
able and most welcome to the roster

ruling thereon adverse to the plain
tiff. he moved the court for an order
granting him a voluntary nonsuit
which was allowed over defendants
objection, upon the ground that the
law did not authorize the same.
Bean, j. The defendant contends;
first, that the plaintiff was not en-
titled to a voluntary nonsuit after a
trial upon the demurrer unless he
filed an amended complaint; second,
that he was not entitled to the same
after the commencement or during the
trial of the cause. l.. o. l.. sec 1S2,
provides that a judgment of nonsuit
may be given against the plaintiff,
% on motion of plaintiff, at any time
before trial, unless a counterclaim has
been pleaded as a defense; (2) On
motion of either party upon the writ
ten consent of the other; (3) On mo-
ton of the defendant, when the action
is called for trial, and the plaintiff
fails to appear, or when after the
trial has begun, and before the final
submission of the cause, the plaintiff
abandons 1t, or when upon the trial
the plaintiff fails to prove a cause suf-
ficient to be submitted to the jury
At common law the plaintiff could,
as a matter of right, take a nonsuit
at any time during the progress of
the trial, and this right continued
until after the verdict Currie v.
Southern Pacific Co., 23 Or 400,
wherein Mr. Chief Justice Lord quotes
Justice Black as saying, There is no
case which decides that the plaintiff
may not become nonsuited on his own
motion, or that he may not, If he
pleases discontinue or withdraw his
action; citing Blair V. Mclean, 25 Pa.
st. rs. Under the earlier English
decisions plaintiff might become nom
suit even after verdict If dissatisfied
with the damages awarded by the
jury. But the rule was changed by
2 Hen. ", c. 7, providing that after
verdict plaintiff shall not be nom
suit -; IA Cyc. 400
Statutes differ, and the practice
varies in the different states In many
of the states the statutes provide, that
plaintiff If he desires to suffer nom
suit, must do so, before the cause is
finally submitted to the court or jury"
or before the jury retire." or before
the final submission of the cause"
This right being one given by statute
is believed to be absolute, and one
which the court has no right to deny,
Both of these classes of statutes are
very generally construed to mean that
the plaintiff is not entitled as of right
to take non-suit, after the cause has
been submitted to the jury or the
court. 1t is held, however, that after
the legal right on the part of plaintiff
has ended, the court may in it's dis
cretion permit plaintiff to recall such
submission and dismiss without preju-
dice; and in such case, the action of
the court unless 1t has abused it's dis
cretion, is no ground of error: IA Cyc.
