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.
