preme court to lower court for a
matter of ten years and judge,
jury and attorneys were look
ing forward to a very hard and
disagreeable struggle when court
opened yesterday morning.
About ten years ago a Mr..
Watson was lumber broker
and claimed that Messrs. Paschal
and Gresham were due him five
thousand dollars as commission
on the sale of a tract of land in
this county below Cheraw. Suit
was begun for the five thousand
dollars and an attachment levied.
Defendants attorneys secured
an order from the tfen Circuit
Judge, r. G. Watts, dismissing
the attachment. Watson's attor-
neys appealed to the Supreme
Court and Judge Watts order
was over. ruled and attachment
was allowed to stand.
The case then came on for
trial before the late Judge Ernest
Cary, who, after plaintiffs testi-
mony was all in, granted a non
suit. Watson's attorneys again
appealed to the Supreme Court
and that Court over-ruled the
trial Judge and sent the case back
for third trial before a jury.
The case was tried again and
this time resulted in a verdict in
Watson's tavor tor the full
amount claimed, $4,000 and in
terest, a total of $500. The at
torneys for Paschal and Gresh-
am filed an appeal to the Su-
preme Court and on some
ground or other, secured a new
trial. The case was then tried
again and resulted in a jury YER
dict in favor of Watson for
$4,000. Upon motion, however,
Judge Frank B. Cary set the yer
dict of the jury aside. Watson's
attorneys appealed to the Su-
preme Court but this Court sus-
tained the trial Judge and order
ed the case for trial again.
This celebrated case was set
for the present term for another
trial and was to have been start
ed Wednesday morning, when a
compromise was reached, to the
great relief of everybody con-
cerned, including the presiding
judge, the bar and last, but not
least, the tax payers of Chester
field county.
Watson's claim to date with
interest, exceeds $4,000 and it is
understood in the compromise
he received about forty per cent.
of this amount.
Watson lives in California ard
four times he has travelled across
the continent and back again,
for this case has been heard four
mes before circuit judges and
Ind four tinles by the Supreme
Court of South Carolina

has spent over one thousand
