In the batch of opinions handed down
by the Supreme Court Wednesday was
that of w. P. Ingram VS. the Yadkin River
Power Co. The case was tried a few
months ago, being suit for damages for
back water from the dam, and resulted
in the jury deciding for the Power Com
pany and giving Mr.. Ingram nothing.
The Supreme Court now remands the
case back to the Superior Court; this
does not mean new trial, but is rather
calling for another statement of facts
from the presiding judge, and then this
would again be passed upon by the Su
preme Court.
