Bickett explained to jurors who had heard onlv divorce actions, that out-of court compromise and settlements had removed much li *Jfr3tion from the docket. “Two of the eases settled/' Judge Bickett said, "normally would have required more than a week each to hear.” Fair adjustments are in the interest of the parties to the suit and also save time and money for the State,” A settlement was reached in a nersonal injury suit for $100,000 brought by 20 years oid sawmill worker Pete Allen against Herbert Thomas following an accident at a saw mill in Robeson County. The court found that Thomas, the employer, had previously paid for and in behalf of Allen has met expenses of $1,500. arising out of the injury to the right leg of which Allen compiained. In addition, all parties agreed that Allen will recover the additi onal sum of *2,000 in full settlement of ciams. Thomas was permitted to pay *1.500 now, and *500 on or before Oct 25. 1956. In the original complaint Allen, contended that on Nov. 21, 1953 he had called attention to Thomas to a defective belt, but quoted Tho mas as saying”, That belt will saw 100,000 more feet of lumber.” Alle nwas ordered to return to his regular job of “Tailing the edger”. Wtihin a short while, the belt broke vio.entlv, struck Allen's right leg, ripped the flesh to the bone and he was hospitalized four ! Hospital nnd several weeks more ' 1‘ter in 1954 in the Dunn Hospital. 1 He alleged he suffered permanent; injuries and Incurred medical ex penses of SI.800.
