NEWPORT BRIEFS
Word was received in Newport yesterday that the Court of Appeals
had reversed the Campbell Circuit Court in the case of the Commonwealth vs. the
Grants Lick and Claryville Turnpike Company.
The pike company was indicted for alleged failure to keep its roadway in repair and upon a trial of the case, was fined $1000. Judge Hodge, legal counsel and also President of the company, set up as a defense that the papers served on him in the case were invalid because of the fact that Deputy Sheriff Davis had not been regularly appointed at the time.
That the Court had no right to appoint M R Lickhart as special Commonwealth attorney and that the commonwealth had not right to sell the turnpike, but should have secured the right to appoint a receiver.
