THE FIRST CASE TRIED.
The suit of the Board of Education
of South Harrison township V. VIM
Hunt, formerly Lippincott & Hunt, a
heater firm, of Woodstown, was tried
before jury composed of the follow
ing: Roy F. Campbell, Henry S. Par.
ris, Thos. Dugan, H. Stanley, Jr.,
Harry Cowgirl, VIM. A. Eastlack,
Chas. Geppart, J.. H. Leppee, r. C.
Beideman, B. c. Paul, G.. Walter
Shivers and JOS. S. Campbell.
The case is this: Lippincott & Hunt
contracted to place a hot air heater in
the Harrisonville school house and
heat same to the satisfaction of the
Board of Education. Under skilled
hands the house was once heated, but
the janitor and teacher failed to get
results, and while the cellar would be
heated to 100 degrees and more, the
school rooms would be around 40 de-
grees and the scholars and teacher
shivered in wraps and coats.
The Board of Education finally sold
the heater for $2 The contract price
was $208 and cost of removing $50
they sued to collect $211.
The defense was that rightly hand
led the heater was all right, because
late purchaser was using it with
good results; that the heater was not
skillfully handled by the teacher, an
occasional janitor and the pupils.
The jury rendered a verdict of no
cause of action.
A RARE CASE.
The suit of the Philadelphia and
Reading Railroad Company v. NJ. F.
Cattell, of Woodbury., was tried before
Judge Horner,l of Burlington county.

Judge Starr has had connection with
the case in courts below.
This was a case to recover from Mr..
Cattell the sum of one dollar and fifty
cents, one way fare from Philadel-
phia to Bound Brook.
The facts are these: One day last
April Mr.. Cattell started for New
York with Penna. also Phila. and
Reading milage in his pocket, The
first train to leave was the Reading,
and he went that way.
The conductor demurred at taking
the milage because it had run out,
having been purchased JAM, 1910, and
expired one year from date The
train made no stops. and finally the
conductor took out the necessary cou-
pons
The coupons were rejected by the
autitor, and under the law governing
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
the railroad company is obliged to
collect all its earnings, hence the suit
Mr.. Cattell had mislaid or lost the
covers of his milage book, hence it
could not be produced as evidence for
the railroad, but the above facts were
