$4,000 TUMMY ACHE
VERDICT SET ASIDE
Court Rules Pullman Company
Isn't Liable for Nine.
Valeri's Pain.
BASED ON COMMON LAW

The $1,000 verdict which Nine. Della
NJ. Naieri y teacher Of singing was
awarded by a jury in the United states
District Court on December for -four
year "tummy ache" acquired. she said,
set aside yesterday by Judge Augustus y.
Hand. the trial Judge.
There was a string tied 10 the verdict
from the first. as Judge Hand instructed
the jurors that they were to decide
whether tho ache had been caused IN the
way Nine Valcri said 1t had. and that he
would decide whether the Pullman com
pany was responsible for tho food served
Judge Hand held In his decision settins
aside the verdict that tho Pullman com
pany was not liable for the food served
if Il exercised due care I'm tho preparation
There have been no new decisions or lex
isla'lon on the question since the old
principle Of English common law was
established that inn keepers arc not re
sponslble for the food they serve 10 pat
rons, and u was chiefly on tho common
law that Judge Hand reversed tho verdict
Judge Hand pointed out that the plain
TN had not charged the Pullman com
pany with negligence In tho prcparatiol
of the food. and under the law the proper
service aud preparation Of tho food WI
the only obligation assumed by tho com.
pany. y vctualer or innkceper, he held
. had no sure way Of guaranty in IN
, vhoesomcnesa OF tho food he buys rrou
some one else, and to impose such an
obligation on him would tend 20 opoi
/ the way for unfoundsd suits.
Nor. according 10 the Judge. would
, tho imposition OF such a warranty fur
| nlsh any protection for the public. Pur'
| food laws, he said furnish better ant
more effective way Of safeguarding th'
public since they strike at tho source ~
| the evil.
Judge Hand concluded by giving IN,
plaintiff the meagre hope that she mig h
recover the price OF her meal 10 she coul,
! prove that the food was ABSOLUTELY unh
for consumption.
