I just finally finished the series on the KY Court of Appeals books ... they have been very interesting! Volume 3 covers all the sessions from April 1884 through the end of 1899 where I'm stopping for now. There are 181 cases in this book and covers the same counties as previously shown. Some of the cases include railroad deaths, murders, forgery, counterfeiting, insurance companies, fires, laws of descents, etc plus the normal day-by-day appeals over land. The railroad cases are increasing year by year; there were many deaths of not only animals but people who were fascinated with the iron horse and sometimes found out how dangerous it could be. So many times, the deceased's executor would sue the railroad and win; the RR would appeal - and win in a majority of the cases! There is a dandy case from Barren Co resulting from the burning of the barn of L W Preston of Race Street where all of his horses and stock were killed and bloodhounds were called in - into some interesting areas! There is a case of a doctor performing an illegal operation, fights over cabs at the Glasgow Depot, a competing newspaper to the Glasgow Times, a fight at a church function that resulted in a murderand a poor soul who after 8 arrests for selling apple brandy, broke his promise and got picked up for the 8th time ... and much more. Although these cases are relatively short as the Court of Appeals renders its decision, there is a lot of good details in them. Lots of attorneys showed up for the L&N cases - there could be big money if they won their case! As usual, if you would like to see the index and the table of contents, write me privately and I'll send them to you as a Word document - likely tomorrow. I've typed a lot today!
