has handed down an opinion sustain
ing the Hartford County Court, in the
suit of Hanway & Gibson, against the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co., for cut
ting the fire hose when their mer-
MANTLE building at Aberdeen, was
on fire. The jury rendered ver-
dict for $4,000 in favor of the
plaintiff, but Judge Harlan later re-
duced the verdict to $500 on the
ground that it was excessive, and the
Railroad Company appealed. While
the fire was in progress the firemen
laid the line of hose across the rail-
road tracks, and so notified the rail-
road company's agent, but the off,
cial paid no heed and allowed their
trains to run over and cut the hose
in two.
