JUDGE MAY DECIDE
DAMAGE CONTESTS
LAWYER JOHN \ LAMB CON-
TENDS SUCH CASES SHOULD
GO TO JURY.

At the conclusion Of arguments
concerning the rights of defendants
and plaintiffs in the question of as
sessment OF damages TO property by
Mr.. John A. Lamb for citizens. and
the city attorney for the city, Judge
Richardson yesterday decided that ali
such cases could be heard by the
Judge himself, and need not go to q
jury.
Mr.. Lamb commended that the own
ers OF property which may have been
condemned by the city, for the pur-
pose Of improvements, or otherwise,
who were not satisfied with the sum
determined upon by the assessors,
might be heard in court and that
under the constitution had the right
TO ask for and secure a hearing be-
fore a jury.
Judge Richardson overruled the
motion, and stated that it was en-
tirely competent for the judge HIM
helf to decide in such questions.
The particular cases at point were
those Of Nellie H Capers against the
city, and V. NJ I.ieb against the city.
both of whom claim more damages
than that allowed by the assessors.
1t is probable that Mr. Lamb may
appeal from the decision OF Judge
Richardson.

OPERATIONS.

After conference with Commits
sioner Of Revenue Cabell in Washing
ton yesterday, Attorneys John A
Lamb and Samuel L. Kelley, repre-
senting G, a. and w. p. Gwaltney,
brandy distillers. of Surrey county,
closed the case on compromise.
The Gwaltneys are large distillers
OF brandy in Surry.
Several months ago they were de-
tected with $500 gallons of unstamp-
ed brandy in their possession. Kev-
enue agents seized the distilleries and
the brandy, and the case was placed
in the hands of the United States
court. But it did not come UP for
trial. Continuances We're held, UNI
til finally counsel, after lengthy ar
gument before the commissioners,
agreed to a compromise, which re-
suited in the payment in the case of
G. a. Gwaltney, OF Ssh, $50, and in
that of w. P. GwaItney of s1,759.
This compromise releases the dis
tilleries, and it is said the men will
