judgment for the death limit. which
was set at $5, 000 at the time the trial

It will be remembered that the nu~

Charles Shatzer. ran down Mr. Seller
in front of the Norwalk Consolidated
Auto Garage in West avenue, shortly
after 9 o‘clock on that August night

The verdict was given them in the
Superior Court. but Attorney John H.
Light for Mr; Lehm'aier appealed on
the ground that Shatzer was driving at
the time onahis own responsibility and
that Seller himself was negligent. This
was the first case embodyltlg the no.
cullar features of the law in regard to
the responsibility of the owner for the
acts of his servant.and1 the decision
is for this reason attracting consid-
erable attention. ‘
It’ is estimated that before the de-

decision is on the appeal at the Nov
wulk Board of Water Commissioners
front assessment, and to ”Attorney
Louis Goidscbmidt devolves the praise
for having saved the commissioners a
great deal of money for taxes.
The decision follows: The judg-
ment of the court: 'tThe 63 acres of
land described as owned by the plain
tilt is taxable in the defendant town
at what would be its fair valuation
for agricultural purposes. and properly
assessed; and the otherdteuts of prop
erty belonging to the plaintiff lire not
liable to tax."
The case came abouttn this way. The
Town'of New Canaan assessed beside
the land owned by the water commis-
sioners of Norwalk. the dam at the
reservoir, the pipes underground, and
the rights of way. The entire amount
of theassessment was $59,520. By the
decision the amount of assessment is
but $2.520. Thus it is seen that At-
torney Goldscbmldt has saved the wa-
ter commissioners from paying a tax
on 857. 000 of assessment.
The case went. in the first place to
the superior Court, where the two:
were agreed upon and on the agree-
ment of facts the case was taken to
the Supreme Court.
The attorneys Who were retained by
the Town of New Canaan are both

wise They are Homer 3 Cummings.

on Milin street. and his skull was

negligence. The defense set up by the
city was that they are not legally held
for defective trees. This contention
was upbeld’at the trial court and the
plaintiff lost his case
Of the cases decided errors were
found in ten. Among the cases were
two in which the court sustained the
lower court. in awarding large dam-
ages to the. plaintiffs in actions
against the Couuccticut company and
theNew York. New Haven and Hart-
ford railroad company.
One of the cases is from Hartford
county and the other from New Haven
county. The Hartford county case
was that of James J. Murphy against
the two companies in which he’was
awarded damages of $13,669.35, one
of the largest awards given in the
state. The suit was the outcome of a
trolley collision at White Oaks. a paint
half way betwaen New Britain and
Plalnvlie. Two cars going in opp0~

case was that of Charles J..Dslinks.
