He represented tbe defendant, las It happened, lost the ease. After ! going throueh with the evidence and ' arguments, «vhleh occupied some tim?, I (he justice turned to the Jury and in substance said: "Gentlemen of the jury, the law of Georgia does not require me to charge you in these cases, but this Is such an Imporlant case that I feel called on to say a few words to you about it. Ju ries in these Justice courts are not required to be guided by the law and the facts in the case, but the princi ples of equity involved which you well know. Gentlemen, I have decided this esse in favor of the plaintiff; you can retire and make up your verdict.” It is needless to say that the jury agreed with the judge under the cir cumstances, and the defendant s only hope now is in certiorari.
