NO MOTIONS IN PENNY CASE.
Northrop Verena Sedjley Hall Clab WUI be
Heard by Referee Damaxe Salt Con
tlaaed and Motion for Party De
fendant Allowed In Another. !
There was little done in the Superior
Court yesterday; in fact there was lit
tle on the calendar of cases upon
whicfi to work, and at 1 o'clock in the
afternoon a recess was taken until 3
P. M., and at that hour an adjourn
ment waa taken for the day.
Ths case of Dortch against Banner
man, which was begun Tuesday, took
up practically all the morning session,
but there came a balk in the matter
of procuring witnesses and upon con
sent of both sides a mistrial was had.
It was ordered by Judge Hoke that
ihe defendant, upon whose'.re quest the
mistrial was made, should pay the
cost of this term. The points of law
and facts in the case were referred to
at some length in yesterday morning's
paper
It was expected jesterday that some
motion or appeal would be taken in
the case of Penny against the rail
road, in which the jury awarded the
plaintiff 16.000 damages, but this was
not done. It is learned from attorneys
interested in the case, however, that
some action alone this line will h
taken before final adjournment for
the term.
An order was made for a referee in
the case of 8. and W. H. Northrop
against the Sedgeley Hall Club, acd
the case was continued until the next
term.
The case of the National Cash Reg
ister Company against Lucy J. Far
riss for the recovery of a small
amount was set for the last case to
day. It is learned that by some
agreement of attorneys a judgment
will ba obtained.
The damage suit of George Graham,
colored, against Messrs. . Alexander
Sprunt & Son was called up from the
motion docket and by agreement of
attorneys, the Champion Compress and
Warehouse Company was made a
party defendant. Graham was a
stevedore for Messrs. Sprunt & Son
and was injured in some way while
loading cotton last Fall. -Messrs.
Stevens, Beasley & Weeks and L. V.
Grady appear for the plaintiff and
Iredell Mearesy Esq., for the defend
ants. Summons is to issue in the
case.
The damage suit of Emeline Mask
aeaiust the city, ftt for to-day. has
been continued. An unimportant
damage suit, in which Charles Carter,
colored, sues the Caps Fear Lumber
Company for damages, will likely be
heard to-day. Barring this case, there
are few others of interest on the docket
for the remainder of the week.

vicinity of Fsyetteville, and was not
likely to go to Wilmington. There
was no sign of any other case, either
at the jiil or elsewhere in Fayetteville.
