Judge Forrester, in Baltimore, on Wednesday, rendered his decision in the case of Alexander M. Briscoe against the Judges of Election in the Fourth precinct of the Nineteenth Ward. Three several actions were instituted by the plaintiff, Alex. M. Briscoe, to recover from each of the defendants, Sam’l Feast, Jr., RK. O. Waterworth, and Artbur MoClellan, the sum ef $100 damages for injury sustained by the plaintiff, in that the defendants being oe a of election of the ith precinct ef the ineteenth Ward, did, on the 6th November, is66, willfully and fraudulently refase to re- ceive the vote of the said plaintiff, ke having been duly registered and legally eutitied to yore at said election. Jud, ‘orrester, in rendering his decision. said: ‘From the consideration which | have been able to give the subject, lam of the opinion that the plaintiff bas been greatly in- jured by being deprived of his right to youve, and that he should be indemnified for the in- Jury which he bas sustained The right ot which be bus been deprived, in the language of the Court of Appeals, - is justly esteemed as one of the most precious and valnable belong- ing to the citizen; and cannot be too highly Beery or too carefnHy protectea.” It would idle for Courts of Justice to place so high an estimate upon the existence of @ right, and yet fail to afford an adequate redress when i is violated. The measure of damage awarded should be commensurate with the injury sus- tained; and as no greater injury can be sus- tained by an American citizen than to be de- prived of the right ef enjoyment of tne elec- live tranchise. 1 believe it to be my duty to award damages to the extent of my jurisdic. ton, and have therefore rendered judgment against each of the detendants for the sum of £100 and costs.” .
