VANDERPOEL. Subecribed 104 #warn o before me thus 16th_day of Aprit, &.D, 1875 Jomx & rind Notary . ME. LEFFINGWELL, on behalf of defendants, said the motion had' just been filed, and. in support of 1t, an afdavit was eubmitted. While he was anxious to have the motion disposed of, and ' from his view of the Jaw did not think it necossary to ask for & Ppostponement, stiil the affidavit was.s surprise, tnd, shonld the Court hold a contrary view of the luw, he ahonld be obliged to ask for time in arder 10 procure counter afdavits. As heun- Gerstood the law, ‘it was settled that in no case was !‘x: campg:tuz fors juror, atter he had return- ed his verdict into court, to impeach the finding,—thst he conld not stultify himself by his own sftidavit,—could not get rid of the sffect of the verdict he had returned nnder oath by meking a counter-oath agains: it, . o Mr. Leffingwell then addreased himeelf to an- otber point, arguing that the statute did not Te- gard 8 motion for a new tral until the pointa in wring had been filod. In this case the motion h3d been made in writing on the last dsy of the wecond term, after the verdict had been returned, aod he bolieved that it had not been made in time—that it was too late, since no motion.in errest of judgment conld be entertained until &fter 8 motion for & new trial had been made; end that the clanse of the G7th section of the Practics act, zllowing motions to be filed in weriting after the tune at which the verdict was rendered, applied to motions .o arrest of judg- ment and not Lo & motion for a gew trial. B THE COTRT remarked that that view was in accordance with the practica. and he shoald recoguize it. As to the other poiut his impression was that the au- shorities were decidedly against o 'juror ime veaching bis own verdict ; but there were decie- ioD8 the other way, and he was not prepared to decido the guestion unlees he did it pro forma. Mr. Borden, for defendants, moved to strike 1be written motion, with the reasons, from the flrmmagxmm it was presented 10 The Gourt overruled the motion, and excep- |’ tion was takon.

ATAR opened for the complainants, addressing him- self to three poinis: first, incompetent evi- dence, since s trespass was proved, evidently with the purpose of prejudicing the jury; second. exoroitant damages, which not a particle of testimony tended to sustain or support, the jorv baving no right to consider the valdptions of wituesses which *were founded upon an er- roneous hvpothesis of fact ; and third, improper 2nd il'egal acts committed in the jury-room, the Courts not permittmg them to go the length tney did. He charactorized the verdict 28 an onfrage, and e3id if ench a verdict was to be surtsined the price fized, making the cost of the 8) sores in the tract alinoss that of the 400 other acres the Commissioners had acqaired—the Board right as well abandon all hope of carrying for- ward the park improvement. - The markei valug af tue Iand, towhich the owners were ectitled, w23 not equal, according to the average testi- 1oy, to more then two years' interest, at 1) per went, on the damages awarded. AR, BORDEN i contended that there was testimony ndequats to eupport the verdict, arguing that, if the whole 1,027 acres had been ineluded, it would not have been fair to ask whatthe proparty was worth ina body forcash in order to determino the value of any particolar piece. The Commissioners, by fencing the tract, and patting their men in chargo of it 2nd annoumcing it a8 & part of the pork, had destroyed its market-value, aud, therefore, {hat ermid not be taien as & criterion in seitling its veime. JUDGE DUNLESY, did not see how the jury, cousidering only the testimory offerad by the Commissioners, conld have reduced their verdict very much; The offi- cials bad proceeded upon the “theory that, the Jand being inside the park, no cpe wonld buy it, and, therefore, it was worth - nothiog,” they being determined to secureibe property at prices which ruled in 1889, igooring the fact- that land in the neighborhood had advanced {rom 30 to 100 per cent minca that yoar. Hodid not think the jury had scted outrageonsly, but had given less than they might have dona under the tesiimouny. Mr. Leffingwell then roferred to the affidavit, i he did not know wheiher it was true or not; but ONE OF THE JURTMEN had told him he had not seen any whiaky in the Judge's Toom. Ar: Bmith remarked that fhere was a juryman sented behind him (Daslevy)—raferring 10 4 man with half-closed eyos—who was noddiog. - Mr. Dunlevy turned and looked at him and said ¢ yes.” i AlT, Smith—He does not look as if he knew i '?“erm” s (inking at Jodge Dulevs)— 0 n (winking af ze Dunle §id Smith knows all lbafit it, G—d—n h.ix-n.VY ‘The Court—Put that man ount.

Ons of the first of thesa to attract attention is the pnr- chaze of sevgral scres of land in the neighbor- hood of the Northweatern Car-Shops by Sid. My- ers, on which he proposes to erect model homes for workingmen. BSome years ago, by offeritg and awarding prizes and calling atiention to the subject, Mr. Sidney Ayers, Manager of the M., F..& M.

The figures of this week's business show an improvement over those of the week endirg April 10, but they are not up to the expectations of loan-agents. -There is con iderable inquiry for money, ‘especially peeded for improviog property, commonly called building losns. For any other purposs monoy appears to be a drug mn the market. For loans on desirable inside property thers are few or no applicstions, and our loan-agencies giva a wide borth $o ail outside aod sgburban enterprises. Hence business is far beflw that of previous years, and the outlook for investments is not very promising. The heaviest transaction of the past week has been a trast deed given by the Cook County Land Com- pay to secure 3150,000, bonds, interest guaran- teed 8 per cent, redcemable in ten years., This is understood to be & consolidated mortgage, aad to take the plade of all previous mortgages on ) e avenue, oear Blackhawk street. | |.

The sallent point of the financial situstion in'Ohica- oand New York is the scarcity of exchasge. The exports from Chicago to the Euat, and thoss fromn New York to Europe, have lately been much below the:aver, “age of prosperous yeats, As wa stated the othur day: the movement of produce eastward from this poim & has been lighter the past winter than for three yextr pre- cedlog.
