Judge Heisley, in the Supreme Cir- 

 cuit Court set aside a recent jury ver- 

 dict and granted a new trial in the 

 case of W. A. Manda against the city 

 of Orange, which condemned part of 

 Manda's property for its water line 

 right of way. A substantial price 

 was offered Manda for the tract, and 

 when he refused the offer a commis- 

 sion was appointed to fix a proper 

 price and did so, setting $700 as the 

 figure. Manda appealed to the Su- 

 preme Court and a couple of months 

 ago a jury said the property should be 

 valued at $1600 instead of $700. Manda 

 was satisfied with this, but Orange 

 was not and asked for a new trial. The 

 argument came up before Judge Heis- 

 ley on Tuesday ^nd today he granted 

 the request. — Newark. N. J., News,
