It appeared, on trial, that Mr. McLardy being sick, a physician wrote a legible prescription for him, one of the ingredients being cinnamon water; that it was taken to the drug store of Dr. Chandler, and in making the preparation he used liquid ammonia in place of cinnamon, hence Mr. McLardy's death was the natural consequence of a cancerous affection of the stomach. After full hearing, the jury returned a verdict as before mentioned, for $500 against Dr. Chandler. *********************************************************************** PROBATE COURT - I.R.

In the matter of the sale of Buckhorn and Howard furnaces, Mr. Hamilton on behalf of some stockholders and one creditor, asked leave to file a motion to set aside the sale on the ground that the property sold for less than it should have brought. Maj. Cherrington objected on the ground that the only parties proper to resist the confirmation of the sale were the defendants, the Charcoal Iron Co.; and this view of the case the Court approved and confirmed the sale. In the case of the Iron Railroad vs W. D. Kelly & sons, the Commissioner reported the amount due the plaintiff, in accordance with the rules laid down by the Court to be $752, and for this, judgment was rendered. The amount sued for was about $6,000. It will be remembered that the Court previously held that the ton was 2268 lbs instead of 2000, that the charges were about one-third in excess of "reasonable," and since 1873, the rate could not be over 5c per ton a mile. Both sides objected to the ruling of the Court, the plaintiff to the Court's general view of (do not have end of this yet.) *********************************************************************** PROBATE COURT - I.R.

Neal vs Rettie Dawson, a writ of ejectment has been ordered in favor of the plaintiff. This case, as has been described, was for the recovery of a town lot, when the condition that no liquor should be sold on it was violated. We may say that Mr. Neal did not bring the suit to make money out of it, but merely to establish a principle, and to make good the conditions of the contract. That, he has done, so far as the legal decision is concerned. Now, when the conditions of the sale are complied with and the removal of the saloon attended to the property will be conveyed back to Mrs. Dawson, on her paying the costs. We refer to the case because the principle it establishes. *********************************************************************** PROBATE COURT - I.R. MARCH 26, 1891 * Thomas Willis and J. D.
