hlem, N. r. Sept. .s.

The court Of common pleas of the
county of Washington. adjourned on Sa-
turday last, after q iaborious term oftwo
weeks. Several very, important causes
were decided. But we feel constrained
particularly to mention one case, from a
conviction that it teaches a very instruc-
tive lesson on i subject neither as well
understood, nor as generally regarded as
its Importance requires. It.may serve,as
q very timely warning to all overseers
OF highways. It shews clearly that the
law holds them responsible for all losses
acsruing from,their negligence inthe per-
Torrance ofoficial duties. If path-mas-
tiers generally knew this, the traveller
would not find, as now, in every part OF
the state, so many crazy bridges, which
are not crossed but at the hazard of life
or limb, both to man and beast. In the
case we refer to, William Crozier, bro't
an action against Moses Bartlett, an o.
verseer of highways of the town of Salem,
to recover the value of horse, that in
February, 1914, broke his leg and died,
n consequence of falling through a bridge
in the district of which the defendant
was overseer. It was proved, on the tri-
al, that the bridge had been out ofrepair
and dangerous for several weeks; that
the defendant had notice of its condition.
and had himself crossed it few days be-
fore the accident that the accident was
to be ascribed solely to the condition Of
the bridge, and not to any carelessness
of the driver; and that the horse died
in consequence of the accident. Me
Jury returned a verdict for tile plaintiff,
sixty four dollars, THE tull value of the
horse. TO many, doubtless, this will
seem a.hard case. But the principle up
on which it was decided is certainly
Correct. Justice approves the decision,
and public safety renders it expedient.
- Morals come in the cold abstract frolp
'pulpits, but men smart under them prac-
,tically when lawyers are the preachers"
Caution to loCers.-A verdict of three
hundred dollars was last week obtained
in the court of common pleas of this
couaty by young woman against her
lover, for a breach Of promise Of mar
riage.
Wipes bride your tsngurs.-Mr. Beat
lie also recovered in the same court, du
ring the same term, two hundred and
twenty Ave dollars, on an action of SLAM
der brought by him against Mr.. John
Beattie Jun. for words spoken by the
wife of the said defendant.
H0rse thieues 2 bewars.-One DR..
Hunter was last week convicted, at al
court held in this town, of stealing al
horse; aud therefore sentenced to four
teen years confinement at hard labour inl
the state prison.:
