Switzerland Circuit Court.
June Term, 1874.

The Court was commenced on Monday, the 15th of the present month.

As the Farmers were all in their harvest fields, and being aware that their presence is indispensable to the administration of justice and morality, Judge Berkshire determined to adjourn court on the 11th day of August next.

The following is a report of the business disposed of:

James Huet, a boy about ten years old, whom John H. Cotton had adopted but who had grown so bad as to be unmanageable, was sent to the House of Refuge.

An application was made for a change of venue from the Judge in the cases of the State vs. Thomas Baldwin, and State vs. Williams. The change was granted. They will be tried during the adjourned Term by Judge Allison.

In the case of Cynthia A. Craig vs. William G. Krutz, which was tried last term, a motion for a new trial was made by the defendant. After counsel had argued the motion the Judge said he was satisfied from the first, that the verdict of the Jury was excessive, and that if the plaintiff would enter a remittitim for all the verdict but $6,000 the motion would be overruled, but if she was not willing to do this it would be sustained. The plaintiff announced her willingness to enter the remittitim, which she did, and the defendant accepted. The Judge said that if the case was appealed he would add $500 to pay the plaintiff’s expense of an appeal.

The defendant insisted that he would appeal, and judgment was accordingly rendered for the sum of $6,500.

The Court then adjourned to the 11th day of August.
