Duncan v. Atlantic Coast Line R.
District Court, S.D. Georgia
At Law. Action by Thomas B. Duncan against the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company. On question of disqualification of judge.
1Opinion of the Court
LAMBDIN, District Judge.
The question here presented is whether the presiding judge is disqualified from hearing the- above-stated case on account of the fact that before his appointment as District Judge the law firm of which he was then a member was local counsel for defendant railroad company in Ware county, Ga.; the employment of said firm being restricted to the counties of Ware and Charlton. He had no connection with the case at bar, which was originally brought in the city court of Savannah and removed to this court, and knew nothing of said case until he reached it on the docket.
