Suit for Damages.
New York, Dec. 13.--In the suit of Price against the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad Company for the recovery of $50,000 damages, a motion was made to-day before Judge Davis, holding Supreme Court in Chambers, by counsel for the plaintiff, for leave to reduce the amount sued for to $10,000. Counsel for the company strenuously opposed the motion for reduction. He said that one of the allegations in the complaint was that the plaintiff was so badly injured in the accident that he was compelled to pay $5000 to surgeons for their attendance upon him. This story counsel thought was manufactured out of the whole cloth.
