ma Harrop of Bucyrus, 1000 in set
tlement of her claims for damages, as
directed by Judge Park Blair of Mt.
Vernon, unless court of appeals af-
firms the finding made by Judge Blair.
On Saturday, a petition in error was
filed in the court of appeals, enumer-
ating 16 reasons why the verdict and
the holding of the lower court was
error.
In bringing suit against the county,
Mrs. Harrop asked for $4,000 damages
for injuries received in an auto acci-
dent near Cardington. A jury of Del
aware county men returned a verdict
for $4,000, when the case was heard
Judge Blair. later, in passing on a
motion for a new trial, held the ver-
dict to be excessive, and directed that
a settlement could be effected by pay
ing the plaintiff $1,000. This was ac-
cepted by the plaintiff, but from the
