The Circuit Court

THE CIRCUIT COURT

Disposed of Several Minor Cases Tuesday Morning

The circuit court was not in session very long Tuesday morning and adjourned until 9 o'clock Wednesday. During the brief session it disposed of considerable business however. The first case was that of Hattie M. Boud against the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern. This case has been tried once before and was appealed to the supreme court where the circuit court was reversed and the case sent back for retrial. It was continued ou application of the defendant and upon the usual terms.

The case of Ida Gollnick vs. the city of Ann Arbor, also went over.

In the case of Christina Blum vs. Adelade Holderby no defense was offered and judgment was given the plaintiff in the sum of $8.33. It appears that in 1896 Adelaide Holderby rented a house of the complainant and that she damaged certain belongings. She did not keep up her rent and about a year later efforts were commenced to recover possession. The case was tried in the justice court and a verdict rendered of no cause of action. It was appealed to the circuit court with the above result.

The case of John R. Purdy vs. John and Wm. Dolbe was settled out of court, the plaintiff being given $12.80 with costs of $15 taxed against both defendants and their bondsman, Jacob Pray. This case was appealed from the justice court which rendered a judgment as above.

In the case of Charles Dunn au appeal from the decision of the commissioners upon claims, disallowing his claim vs. the estate of Isaac Duun, deceased a continuance was taken.
