Court Cases Decided on Hill in Three Merriman Actions
The court heard three Merriman cases and the Grant versus Jack trespass case on the Hill. Mrs. Grant testified, a torn pair of trousers was shown, and defense questioned their origin. The McCormick estate appeal seeks to limit a widow’s allowance to creditors, with negotiations to protect unsecured creditors ongoing. Charles Griffin of Richmond was discharged in a non support case. The jury verdict favored the defendant in Grant vs Jack after about an hour and fifteen minutes deliberation.
