WIGGLESWORTH WINS.
Awarded S363.63 for Alleged Damage to
His prOnprfy

The jury today brought in a verdict
for S363.6s for Joseph Wiggiesworth
against Harry Brodsky and John Frank
Owens, Jr., in the Superior Court Wig
ellsworth sued for $500 damages resulting
from the settling of his wall at 305 French
street through excavating on the defend
i ants premises, at 307 French street
! The court discharged the jury for the
remainder of the term.
An interesting point was raised by
counsel in this case. Mr.. Reinhardt cited
an English rule, which has been repudiated
In most States where it has been invoked
In this country. He contended it had teen
recognized and enforced In an earlier case
in this State, but Mr.. Eastburn called this
an error.
The question was whether one who
owns building acquires after 20 years
possession without an express grant such
an easement In the land under his building
as 10 entitle the owner to damages with
out regard to the question of negligence
where a next, door neighhor excavates
under the adjoining wall in such a way as
TO cause the others wall to fall or be
damaged. Mr.. Eastburn asked the court
10 take case from the jury on the ground
that his easement rule was not IN force In
Delaware. The prayer was denied. Coun-
sci argued the case yesterday afternoon,
but the court postponed instructIng the
Jury until today

SUIT ON CONTRACT.
Action in the Brand Ogden Howard Co
Started in Superior Court.

Before Judges Boyce and Conrad and
jury in Superior Court today trial began
in the case of John II. Brand against the
Ogden-H Howard Co. for alleaged breach
of a contract of employment. The case
has been before the same court before on
appeal from a magistrates Judgment for
the pay of the plaintiffs last week of
actual service, and the Judgment has
been paid. The action begun today is TO
recover the amount the plaintiff would
have earned but for the alleged breach.
II is alleged that on February l. 1914.
the Ogden-Howard Co. agreed in writing
TO hire Mr.. Brand 10 conduct furniture
business at Fifth and King streets, and
that the company agreed to pay him
500 week for a period of FIVE years, or
until February /, 1919. Further, il is
alleged the employer discharged the en-
ploye in February, 1918, about a year
before the end of the tenn and that this
was in violation of the terms of the alleged
contract. Plaintiff asks &2,675 less slight
reduction on account of earnings in that
remaining year of the term.
Attorney Charles Il. Curley. counsel for
the defendant, was allowed 10 show by
the plaintiffs testimony whether the
plaintiff made proper effort 10 obtain any
skilled employment IN his line (the furni-
ture busIness) for the remainder of the
fve-year term after his discharge. The
court thus followed the rule that in such
a case the discharged employe need not
go outside of his usual line, or accept any
position or salary he can get. but that he
must make reasonable effort To find some
employment, and that he has no legal
right to stand idle because there is no
particular position obtainable. Brand was
buyer and manager. He testified that he
tired TO get another position as such in
several cities. The court overruled the
objection of Attorney George W Davis
TO this line of testimony. The attorney
took an exception. The judges refused.
however, TO allow Mr.. Curley to show on
cross-examination of the plaintiff that he
tried 10 purchase his employers business
before he was discharged.
Mr.. Curley asked the plaintiff if he was
not in the habit OF devotIng part of the
time belonging to his employer to bis own
automobile and its upkeep and other per-
sonal affairs. The plaintiff replied no.
