Description

Petitioner, Howard Junior Tomlinson is before this Court on an Application for Transfer seeking review of the Appellate Courts decision in Conrad v. Tomlinson (1971), 270 N.E.2d 879. Tomlinson, plaintiff-appellee, received a favorable judgment in the trial court in the amount of $100,000.00 for injuries received by him in a truck accident on defendants farm. The Appellate Court held that the trial court erred in refusing to declare a mistrial for alleged misconduct of the Bailiff in entering the jury room while the jury was deliberating. The Appellate Court also found error in the giving of an instruction which authorized the jury to find that the defendants, Martin and Opal Conrad, had violated the Compulsory Education Act of 1921. The trial courts judgment was reversed, and a new trial ordered. For reasons hereinafter stated, the Petition to Transfer is granted.
