SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Decisions Rendered in Atlanta, fla.,
November 30, 1875-Hon. Hiram
Warner, Chief Justice-Hons. L. E.
Bleckley and James Jackson,
Judges.
[Atlanta Constitution.]
Augusta and Summerville Railroad
Company vs. Renz. Complaint, from
Richmond.
WARNER, C. J.
The plaintiff brought his action
against the defendant to recover dam
ages for injuries sustained by him as a
passenger while being transported on
its road, in consequence of the alleged
careless, negligent and unskillful man
agement of the defendant, its servants
and agents, in operating its ears and
coaches upon its said road, whereby he
was thrown from its car and his arm
broken, to his damage five thousand
dollars. On the trial of the case, the
jury found a verdict for the plaintiff
for the sum of §1,250. The defendant
made a motion for anew trial, on the
several grounds therein stated, and
also made a motion in arrest of judg
ment, both of which motions were over
ruled, and the defendant excepted. It
appears from the evidence in the re
cord that there was a short steep curve
in the defendant’s road, that in pass
ing it the driver of the car put
whip to the horses drawing it
so as to enable them to sur
mount the steep curve with the loaded
car, which was done so suddenly as to
throw the plaintiff off of the platform of
the car where he was standing, breaking
his arm. The car was full of passengers,
some standing on the platform. The
plaintiff was standing on the platform
of the car when the couducter received
his fare. The main question in the
case, was whether the evidence showed
that the plaintiff was injured by the
carelessness and negligence of the de
fendant in conducting its business as
the earlier of passengers for hire on
its road. The defendant made several
requests of the court to charge the
juty which were refused, and instoad
thereof, charged the jury the law ap
plicable to the facts of the case, as con
tained in the 3033d and 3034th sections
of the Code. We find no error, in
view of the evidence contained iu the
record, in the refusal of the
court to charge as requested,
or iu the charge as given. The sec
tions of the Code before cited, em
braced the correct principles of the
law applicable to the facts in the case.
The-e was no error in allowing the wit
nesses to testify that since the injury to
the plaintiff, the defendant had altered
the curve in its road. The alteration
was a fact which it was competent for
the plaintiff to prove for the consider
ation of the jury, subject to be ex
plained by the defendant why the al
teration was made. The standing on
the platform of a street railroad car
urawn by animal power, is not such an
exposure to danger by a passenger, as
the standing on the platform of a rail
road car drawn by a locomotive ope
rated by the power of steam, the more
especially as in this |case, when there
was no notice given not to stand there.
There was no error in overruling the
defendant’s motion in arrest of judg
ment. There was a cause of action
set forth in the plaintiff’s declaration,
and though it may have been defectively
set forth, it was cured by the verdict.
In view of the dependence of the people
for treval, in the cities where street rail
roads have been established upon that
mode of conveyance, in going to church,
visiting the sick, etc., we are not pre
pared to hold that the running of street
railroads in cities and the vicinity
thereof where the same have been es
tablished, on Sunday, is not a work of
necessity, as contemplated by the 4579
section of the Code, and that it is un
lawful to run the same on that day.
The jury having found in favor of the
defendant as to the question of negli
gence and carelessness on the part or the
defendant and as to the fault of the
plaintiff, and there being no material
errors in the rulings of the court as to
the law applicable to the facts of the
ease, and there being sufficient evi
dence in the record to sustain the
exercise of the discretion of the court
in overruling the motion for anew
trial.
Let the judgment of the court below
be affirmed.
Frank H. Miller, for plaintiff in error.
Clay Foster, for defendant.
Adams vs. Goodrich. Mechanic’s lien,
from Richmond.
WARNER, 0. J.
This was a proceeding to foreclose a
laborer’s lien under the provisions of
the 1974th section of the Code. It ap
pears from the affidavit of the plaintiff
and the evidence in the record, that he
was a laborer and mechanic, that he
was employed by the defendant, who
was a contractor and builder, to work
for him at §2.25 per day, payable
weekly, and that defendant was indebt
ed to him §48.95 for manual labor per
formed by him in sawing and dressing
lumber, &c. The court charged the
jury, “that the plaintiff, Adams, was a
mechanic, and not such a laborer as
was entitled to a lien upon the property
of his employer which could be fore
closed upon his own affidavit, under
the law providing for the foreclosure of
laborers’ lieus; to which charge ! le jury
excepted. In our own judgment, the
court erred in its charge to the jury on
the statement of facts disclosed in the
record. Although the plaintiff was a
mechanic, he was a laborer within the
true intent and meaning of the statute,
and was entitled to a lien on the
property of his employer. A contractor
may be a mechanic, but if he does not
perform manual labor, be la not en
titled to a laborer's Hen on the prop
erty of his employer. So a laborer
may be a mechanic, and If he performs
manual labor as such mechanic, he iu
entitled to a laborer’s lien on the prop
erty of his employer. A laboring me
chanic who performs actual manual
labor for his employer, is as much
entitled to a laborer's lien on
his property for the value of
the labor performed by him, as any
other class of laborers.* There is no
dispute that Adams, the plaintiff, per
formed the actual manual labor for his
employer for which he claims a labor
er’s lien under the statute. The fact
that he was a mechanic at the time he
performed that manual labor, does not
make him any the less a laborer within
the true Intent and meaning thereof.
Laboring mechanics who perform
manual labor for their employers, are
embraced within the true intent and
meaning of the statute as are any
other class of laborers.
Let the judgment of the court below
hp rpvprfipfl
John S. ’& Wm. T. Davidson, for
plaintiff in error.
Frank H, Miller, for defendant,
In re Henry Lark. Habeas corpus.
from Bichmend.
BLECKLEY, J.
1. Habeas corpus and writ of error
thereon, having been brought to free a
party from imprisonment under a sen
tence alleged to be illegal, the writ of
error will not be dismissed, when
reached for argument In the Supreme
Court, on the ground that the period
pf time covered by the sentence has
then expired. There is no presump
tion that an illegal imprisonment has
terminated, or that it will terminate, in
a voluntary discharge.
2. A sentence by the county judge of
Richmond county, “to work in the
chain gang on the streets of Augusta
for twelve months,” is not one of which
the convict (sentenced for simple lar
ceny) can complain by petition for
habeas corpus. The streets of a city
are public works, withiu the meaning
of section 4705 of the Code, and it is
no deprivation oJJ any right of personal
liberty, not to be constrained to labor
on all of the public works, instead of a
part only. The better and more regu
lar practice, however, is to make the
sentence as broad as the terms of the
statute, and let it comprehend the
public works generally.
3. By section 4,814 of the Code, as
amended by the act of 1874, convicts
may be hired out, as well to municipal
corporations within the county as to
other hirers ; and it is no concern of a
convict what are the terms of the con
tract, or whether the county is com
pensated or not.
J udgment affirmed.

THE cotton is spread on tht maohine from the bale, and is ma-G into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then Mulshed on a U
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,

KITSON’N EVENER
Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps wnen ro ody for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of pickingby tins
system Is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker nouse is
safer from fire than the card room. .
i“Thei'e is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manmao
