Township vindicates on rail safety case in 1800s accident
Judge H M McClure of Union county dismisses new trial motions and directs verdict for the township in Cardon versus Columbia township. The case stems from an August 17 1804 accident on Balleghi road where Mrs Card was killed and others injured due to alleged neglect in guard rails. Early trials gave $2500 to the plaintiff, then a Supreme Court remand for a new trial, and the latest Troy trial upheld the township verdict.
