The Supreme Court issue Of Anna
Decray against the heirs of the late
Sarah Clouting, which was on trial as
our last issue went to press, resu ted
in a verdict In favor of the plaintiff
for $500. The cause of action was
founded on the care and nursing OF
decedent In her last illness by the
plaintiff, who was her grandchild, as
well as the daughter of one of the de-
PENDANTS.
The Circuit Court case Of Mary E.
Sawyer VS.. Nelson q. Graves, on a
lease of q farm, resulted in a mistI'al,
a juror being withdrawn, and the case
going over to next term.
On Monday morning the road Jam
age suit of Duncan w. Blake, M. D.,
against the Board of Chosen Free
holders, was resumed and a verdict
was directed in favor of the defendants.
The Common Pleas list was taken
up on Tuesday, September 10Th, before
Judge Eldredge. Most of the day was
taken up with the trial of the bailment
case Of Raymond M. Burke against
Pierpont d Brown. Plaintiff left a
motorcycle at defendants garage In
Wildwood, from whence it was ttoler.
The jury gave Burke a judgment for
the full value Of the machine, $308. rs,
this sum including interest and costs.
One Marris Malls is under indictment
for the theft, the motorcycle having
been later found in New York City.
A verdict was directed In favor Of
George w. Hates In his suit against
Ernest N. Ross, on promissory note.
The case of Finley Acker CoAgs.
Martha Morris was tried on
day, the whole point at
the liability of defendant, a married
woman, on a book account. The nus
band having gone through bankruptcy,
the plaintiff elected to sue the wife, on
the ground that 1t was really her &C.
count and the credit originally extern
ded to her. After the jury being out
considerable time, during which they
twice returned for further charges from
the court, they disagreed and were
discharged.
The appeal case of Henderson VS..
Berger, on an action for commissions
due on the renting of a house at Cape
May, resulted in a directed verdict for
plaintiff, there being no defense pre-
sented.
To clear up the list, court was held
into the evening, the last case being
that of Isaac Robinson against Harry
H. Jago, for a plastering bill of $3.50.
for work done on a Wild wood hotel.
The defense was that the work Was not
done In q workmaplike manner; and
this the plaintiff admitted, but called
numerous witnesses to prove that Jago
had insisted on the work being rushed
In freezing weather, and w~hitecoated
before the brown coal dried; and that
Robinson went ahead under protest
after putting the responsibility on Jago,
with the inevitable result. The jury
took the same view and rendered their
verdict for the plaintiff in the full
amount.
