Th:e trial of jurv aseS was conc ludled a:ter mi<inight Satur-i day 11b,ht. auil ve'ter"day mlorling motions for new trials and Iatters on the eluity =ide of the court were tak JUDG~E R. WITHERS MIMMINGER.1 Who Held The First Court in New berrv 's New Court House. An exceedingly heavy day 's work was done on Satu.rday. The case of J. .J. Dean v. the Sun Insurance Comn pany of New Orleans wa s taken up oin Saturday miorning. Tue testimony consumed the whole day, with an in termission of only an hour for din ner. The jury and all parties inter ested wanted to finisih the case on Saturday, in order that the jury might .not have to come back on Monday. The arguments were begun after sup per. and Judge Memminger's charge ( to the jury was concluded at five minute before midnight. The jury a-etired and reained in the room about forty minmutes, bringing in their verdict at about 12.35 Sunday morning. It is somewhat novel for a court to run wso late at night, and there were many spectators in the court house. The case resulted from Mr. Dean's loss by fire in March of this year. Mr. Dean .had five insurance polices. and his loss must be pro rated among these companies. Had his loss been entire he could only have recovered $3,000 under tihe terms of his policies. The policy in issue on - Saturday was for $1,000 and the verdict of. the jury was based on an estimate of about $1,300 loss, to be pro rated among all the companies in which Mr. Dean was insured, the verdict on Sat urday night being for $310.50, the Sun' company 's pro~ rata share of the damage which the jury had fixed. The plaintiff was represented by Messrs. Blease & Dominiek, and the. defendant by Messrs. Smithb, Ham mond and Smith, .of Atlanta, and Messrs. Hunt. Hunt and Hunter, of Newberry. Mr. Dominick appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Hammond and Messrs. Hunt, Hunt and Hunter for the defendant. Mr. Dean has cases against the oth er insurance comnpanies in which he held policies which will be disposed of later. - The insurances compan'.es have fil e'd a bill in equity having for its pur pose to put all the cases on the equity side of the court and to try them all together before tile judge, sitting as chancellor. in order that if tile companies are' liable each may be'ar its proportionate share of the loss. the damage being fixed at the same in each case. This motion is be ing contested. Mr. Dean. it will be recalled, suf fered damage by fire in March, when a fire originated in .his furniture -store, on lower Main street. The 1companies contend in the first place. that, by reason of violation of cer tain clauses in the p)olicies. and by reason of Mr. Dean having taken out more insurance than his policies per mnitted. the companies are not liable at all. If they are liable, they con tend that his damage was only be tween $500 and $750. The case on Saturday was hard foughit, being a legal battle fromi start to finish.
