I
COUPON ATIONS AND JURIES.
A significant verdict was ren c
dered in a damage suit tried in
Orangeburg last week. It was an ,
action against the Southern
ltai'wa\ company by the representatives
ot a brukeman named t
Hoover who 'ost his lite while |
it; the discharge of his duties. (
I'lie jury found for the pluiiitifi' ,
K
the sum of $1,500, though tlu
amount sued for was $50,000. A (
motion was made by plaintiffs' |
counsel !or a new trial on the (
around that the verdict was in- (
adequate, which was refused by (
the presiding judge.
While the amount appears
small in such a case, the verdict (
is significant in that it is proba- .
bly indicative of a reaction in
public sentiment in this matter j
< f damaee suits against railroad
? ?
and other corporations. It i-< a |
notorious tact * hat. tor tha pas" |
lew years some very .heavy verdicts
have been rendered against
defendant co:porations?so heavy ^
that in some instances the judges
have found it necessary to reduce
the fiuuing? or to grant
new trials, on the ground ot ex
cessive damages, where the
p'aintifTs would not accept I lie \
amounts as reduced by the court. I
The policies of some of the "
railroads ol the country, their I
conduct and management in the
past have not been such as fco a
win the confidence and good n
will of the public, but on the d
contrary to create aula .onism
n 1 distrust on tli*- part of tlie people.
Much prejudice in con- v
sequence has been engendered t
against corporations generally.
and particularly against
railroads, and some juries I
liave no doubt been uncou- b
f.<iously biased thereby in deter a
ruining issues before them in v
which corpora'ions were parlies a
in interest, eith r as plaintiff* or
dele ml ants. $
But now 'hat the railroads ap- r
pear to be the "undt^ don" in v
the great fight thut is being t
made all over the country f
atrainst them, in congress, in I
the State legislatures and in the I
courts, and ince they are seem- d
ingly trying to give the fii
public better service, the I
feeling ayinst tln-m is not s
so strong as it was, the people J
are more disposed to give them J
Another trial ^o to speak, and the I'
probabilities are that they will n
in tuture lare better at the liands It
at juries. !
