u
mediatey the attorney and his client left
the court. This action caused quite a
surprise and one of the referees, Everett
M. Barr, bolted, refusing for a time to en-
ter into the hearing OF testimony on the
part of the plaintiff, but finally agreed TO
DO so, and the referees gave judgement
for the amount of action Attorney Moore
stated that he proposed to take the case
to court on a certerari in order to obtain
a ruling whether or not the referees who
had previously set in cause had right
to set in trial OF the same cause a second
time after they had given a verdict in the
lirst action. There is nothing in the Code
which prevents the same referees from
hearing second cause even if thev were
the jury IN the first action. It is for the
purpose of obtaining a decision that the
case will be taken to court. Had the
amount been sufficient the case would
have Teen taken to court on an appeal
he decision, should one be given, will
he lar Teaching and prove important in
referee trials in this State.
For the past week Colonel dupont has
had men stationed at the town limits on
the Laurel Seaford road, Milford road.
Milsboio and Lewes roads to ascertain
the number of persons coming to this
town and leaving within day. Just what
Object Mr. DUPONT had in view is a mat
ter Of conjecture, but many are of the
belief that the men were stationed at
these points TO learn if the travel was
sufficient enough TO warrant the cOnstTHc
tion OF trolley line in this section. The
emp Dying of men 10 do this work was
somewhat OF a secret, and it was not until
they had been there two or three davs
that It became known even what the pur-
pose was Last Saturday according to the
man stationed on the Milford road there
were more than eight hundred persons
who came and went from this town along
that highway while it is said about a
/ ike number traversed the Lewes road.
From what can be gathered the travel on
I the LeWes road Is greater than that of any
other. Residents OF this town have re
eeived a report that men have been sta
/ toned at the limits of ali the important
towns south of Dover, but whether there
l. anv truth in the report cannot be stated
However. Georgetown residents are some
what on the anxious seat to know what
this action means,
