Case Of Tubbs Versus Higgins
Seth C. Randall has made a motion for a new trial in the case of Mary J. Tubbs vs. Hannah Higgins.
This was the Dexter case in which the plaintiff got a judgment against her for $25.
Mr. Randall's reasons were as follows :
1. Because the verdict and judgment was illegal and void.
2. Because the court refused to discharge the jury after they reported they could not agree and after both counsels had asked for a discharge of the jury.
3. Because the judge kept the jury from Friday morning till Monday noon for the evident purpose of compelling the jury to agree upon a verdict.
The motion will be argued next Thursday.
