Supreme Court rules against ex governor in several cases
The court held that merely notifying the principal of a note does not release the surety from liability in a case involving former Gov. John J. Cornwell. It upheld a circuit court ruling nullifying a jury verdict that released Romney Furgher from liability as surety on a $1,200 note. The decision also limits trial court powers in a Greenbrier county case and suspends Judge Jarrett from reinstating a damages suit due to procedural delays and mental and physical incapacity considerations.
