A little daugh- tr of Mrs. Bush was run over by the driver of one of Garneau's wagon. Suit wasbrought for 10,000 damages and a verdict for $),500 was awarded the plaintiff by the jury. The defense asked fora new trial on two grounds That the jury was not justitied in finding the driver guilty of negligenee and that the amount awarded was excessive, In his do cision Judge Davis stated tha. thie jury was certainly justified in findine #hat the acci- dent was caused by the negligence of the driver. The court held that the award of dumage was excessive bocause the jury had taken into its consideration of damiges the present curvature of the child's spine, which, the count thought, was shown by the evidence to have resultcd more from_ the neglect of the attending physician and the treatment of the child’s parents than from the accident. The order of the court was that the plaintiffs remit in ten_days, £.000 from the award, reducing it to §3,500, other- wise a new trial woula be granted.

The docket in called tomorrow, The case of the state against Lona Marsh, charged with the willful murder of her in. fant child in Jane last, was taken up yoster- day afternoon in Judge Hopewell's court. When the jury was placed in the box the attorney for the defense, W. S. Strawn, moved to quash the panel on the ground that the county commiasioners had not selected the jurors in the manner prescribed by thoe statute of 1859, The motion was over ruled. The examination of the jury proceeded and the attorney for the defenso denied the Tight of the prosecuting attorney to chal- lenge on account of a juror having a fixed opinion, taking the ground that the new statute did not state that a_juror was ine! gible on account of an opinion, or by reason of any personal prejudice for or against the defendant. He went o far as to state that under the new statute a brother or any other relative of they prisoner would be eligible to sit as a juror in the case, The court decided that a pre-conceived opinion is a bar to a juror being compatent. 1t was after 4 0'clock whea the panel was completed and Prosecuting Attorney Ma- honey presented the case to the jury. The attorney for the defense, in his arga- ment to the jury, took the stand that there would be no proof that any carbolic acid had been brought tothe house or that the de- fendant knew the character or effect of such adrug.
