The case was commenced before Squire Baumgartner. of“slonroe towonship, the venue changed to Esq. Gates of the same township. Where the ease was tried and a verdict for the plaintiff rendered in the sum of eighteen dollars, from this finding the defendant appealed. On last Thursday the case was commenced in the Adams Circuit Court before a jury and ended Tuesday by the jury returning a finding for the plaintiff in the sum of one dollar. While the finding is an exceptional one, the strange part of it was that a number of the jury after they were, discharged, said that they intended that Hocker should pay the tosts, so that they are indgnant at their own finding, saying that they did not know that there had been an offer to confess a judgment for eight dollars, and a finding in the lower court for Schug Bro's, made a motion for a new trial, which will be beard at an early day. The costs amount to nearly three hundred dollars.
