The case of Jennie Westfall vs. Michigan Central R. R. Co., was concluded last Saturday, after lasting nearly all the week and exciting a grest deal of interest. The defense endeavored to show that the accident in which Mrs. Westfall and Mrp. Ormsby were hurt in Chelsea a bout ayear ago was the result of the driver's fast driving and carelessness, and the plaintiff endeavored to show that it was the suddea blowing-off of steam from the locomotiva. The jury rendered a verdict for the plaintiff, and fixed the datnages at $2,250. The Peoplj ts. Emery Hurst excited much interest also. Emery Hurst is a colored boy who was charged with etealing a hat from Blitz & Langsdorf. The interest was excited by the defense which rested upon the shouldcrs of J. V. Sheehan and T. D. Kearney, and it was their maiden effort. They succeeded in securing a verdict of not guilty in gpite of the fact that the boy unquestionably took the hat and was seen wearing it. The young attorneys, however, claimed that he was intoxicated at the time of taking it, and that it was a mistake. Henry Bennett vs. Burt Lownsbury and A. W. Budd and Mrs. A. D.
