Damage suit settled in Halifax County court
A Halifax County Superior Court jury awarded W H Rawls 2000 dollars compensatory damages in a civil suit against Mrs W P Bennett for causing Rawls arrest and prosecution in a related matter. The court noted Bennett had Rawls indicted in Pender County on an embezzlement charge that was later deemed frivolous. Separately Z A Hardy was ordered to pay R T Daniel five dollars plus costs after finding Hardy sold a plaintiff’s car for 25 dollars and Daniel owed 20. The Hub Department Store case against Mooney and Rosa Greenberg was dismissed as settled. Divorces were granted for several pairs including Jacob Rudolph Taylor and Mary Cannon Taylor.
