Supreme Court orders jury trial for near-beer nuisance case
The Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Bibb Superior Court was correct to issue a temporary injunction against Cassidy and set the issue for trial by jury but erred in not allowing permanent injunction questions to go before a jury. The decision disqualifies Cassidy from future licenses and shifts enforcement from equity to juries, reopening debates over prohibition methods and nuisance statutes in Georgia.

Supreme Court Reverses Mileage Pulling Ruling in Georgia
In a lengthy decision Chief Justice Fish overturns a lower-court injunction on mileage pulling by Georgia railroads. The Supreme Court upholds the Georgia Railroad Commission's power to regulate mileage, with effect in thirty days, a stance opposite to Interstate Commerce Commission views and Governor Brown's veto. The ruling favours the Georgia Traveling Men's Protective Association and the Railroad Commission, while leaving railroads with options to appeal, withdraw, or limit mileage to within Georgia. Justice Beck dissented.
