Judge Heisley, in the Supreme Circuit Court set aside a 
recent jury verdict 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 sub¬ 
stantial price was offered Manda for the tract, and when he 
refused the offer a commission was appointed to fix a pro¬ 
per price and did so, setting $700 as the figure. Manda 
appealed to the Supreme 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 Heisley von Tuesday and today he granted the 
request.—Newark, N. J., News, January 23.
