I Equity Cases this Week. A large amount of business was I ransack^! in the common picas court | nst week. The trial of jury cases i vas concluded after midnight Saturla.v night, and yesterday morning 1 notions for new trials and matters on, < lie equity side of the court were takU ll|>. S ? i _ 1 i " i I f i 1 5 ( i UlXilO H. WITHERS MIMMINCJER, J Vlio Held The First Court in Newberry's New Court House. An exceedingly heavy day's work j' ius done on Saturday. The case of | . J. Dean v. the Sun Insurance Com- I miiy of New Orleans was taken up ' ii Saturday morning. The testimony ( onsumed (lie whole day, with an iiiermission of only an 'hour for din- 1 icr. The jury and all parties inter- ; sted wanted to finish (he case on < Mini da\, in order that the jurv might lot Inn e t<> come hack on Monday, lie arguments were begun after sup?er, and Judge Memniinger's charge , o the jury was concluded at five ( unutcs before midnight. The jurv e tired and remained in the room j iboat forty minutes, bringing in heir verdict at about 12.35 Sunday lorning. It is somewhat novel for a ourt to run so late at night, and here were many spectators in the i ourt house. The case resulted from Mr. Dean's ' oss bv fire in March of this year. Jr. Dean had five insurance polices, > n'*l I''-"* loss must be pro rated among < licse companies. Had his loss been lit ire lie could only have recovered >.{,000 under the terms of his policies, j The policy in issue on- Saturday vas for .$1,000 and the verdict of lie jury was based on an estimate ?t about $1,.)00 loss, to be prorated imong all the companies in which Mr. ' )ean was insured, the verdict on Satirday night being for $310.50, the Sun ompany's pro rata share of the lamage which the jury had fixed. The plaintiff was represented by dessrs. Rlease & Dominick. and the lefendant by Messrs. Smith, Iiamnond and Smith, of Atlanta, and dessrs. Hunt, Hunt and Hunter, of STcwberrv. ' Mr. Dominick appeared or the plaintiff and Mr. Hammond ind Messrs. Hunt, Hunt and Hunter or the defendant. Mr. Dean has cases against the otlim insurance companies in which he eld policies which will be disposed of a tor. /The insurances companies have filh1 a bill in equity having for its purpose to put all the cases on the ' l'lity side of the court and to try hem all together before the judge, fitting as chancellor, in order that if the companies are liable each may >ear its proportionate share of the loss, the damage being fixed at the <ame in each case. This motion is being contested. Mr. Dean, it will be recalled, suffered damage by fire in March, when i fire originated in -his furniture store, on lower Main street. The companies contend in the first place, tlvat, by reason of violation of certain clauses in the policies, and by reason of Mr. Dean having taken out more insurance than his policies permitted, the companies are not liable nt all. If they are liable, they contend that his damage was only between $;>00 and $750. The case on Saturday was hard fought, being a legal battle from start to finish. In the case of Minnie Livingston v. D. L. Wedaman, executor of his mother's estate, suit for $200 for personal services rendered Mr. Wedanvan's mother during her last illness, Judge Memmingcr on Friday morning directed a verdict for the defendant. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Blease & Dominick. and the defendant by Messrs. Johnstone & Cromer. The case of D. Ralph Scurry v. P. N. Boozer, suit on account for sawing lumber, resulted in a verdict of1 (>185 for the plaintiff. The plaintiff Jf vas represented by Messrs. Blouse & )oniinick, and the det'ondant by ; llessrs. Hunt, Hunt & Hunter, Jr It is probable that the matters on J lie equity side of the court which 8 lave been set for hearing will be dis- M iosed of today or by tomorrow noon w il the* latest. % Judge Memniinger, who has been adding this term of Mie court, has j lib pa tched business in a manner 1 vhieh has been characteristic of him J unee he was chosen to the xbonch < nore than tliree years ago. The court < ms boon kept busy, and the business, < nid a large amount of it, has been lisposed of with dispatch. Firm in lis rulings, his object being to do j justice between the parties with all 1 lie dispatch possible consistent with i proper administration of justice, he las made an enviable record during lis service on the circuit bench, and lie manner in which he' conducted lie business of the Newberry court vas in keeping with his record. Judge Memminger will go to his loine in Charleston, where 'lie will > 'pond the time until the Laurens lourl, which begins on next Monday. Acuity Lodge, No. 87, A. F. M.
