LAW INTELLIGENCE.
Supreme judicial Court, now sitting in Boston,
John Calender, Us. Ephraim Marsh.

John CALENDER, Us. Ephraim MARSH.
The plaintiff, Mr.. Calender. owns an eiegans
mansion house and garden, at the corner Of Olive
and Walnut streets, Mount Vernon, and he COM
mence9 this action Of trespass on the case against
the defendant, for digging up and carrying away
the soil of the two streets, whereby his walls were
undermined the foundation OF his house endanger-
ed, flight of steps required to his front door,
and other damages done to his estate.
The defendant justified the acts complained OF,
under his authority as Surveyor of the Highways
within the City, and because the streets on which
the plaintiffs house bounded, too steep for
public convenience security, whereby it became
his duty to reduce them more to level; and offer
ed evidence to shew, that, whatever might have been
the personal inconvenience TO the plaintiff the pub
lie very much benefited by the alterations that
were made.
At the trial, the Chief Justice, proposing 30 re.
serve the questions of law the defendants plea
for the consideration of the whole Bench directed
the Jury 10 estimate the actual damage ofthe plain
tiff with leave TO the defendant to move for non
suit, if by law the action could not be sustained.
The Jury returned several estimates of damages
sustained by the plaintiff, according to different
modes Of computation submitted to them, varying
from 1900 TO 500 dollars
The case was argued by B. Rand, Esq. and the
Solicitor General for the plaintiff, and by J. I.
Austin, Esq. for the defendant

the decision of the Court in favor Of the defendant
and nonsuit was entered.--B Boston Daily s8du.

Turnpike Co. vs.. lSitas e. Burroacs. was
an action for travelling the road with one horse
Wagon, and refusing to pay IL cents. In June
last Mr.. Burrows passed the gates from New Lon
don to Hartford, in one horse Wagon with chase
!, top, with his family, four in number, and refused
TO pay more than Cid cents for whole gate, and
cents for half gate, the only legal TOLL he con-
tended; offering, however, the President OF the
COMPANY, to submit. the subject with costs Of suit,
Ito Judge Swift, of Windham. The President re.
ceived orders from the Directors not to accept any
offer of this nature, but to commence suit in law,
The action was brought before Jacob b. Gurley,
Esq in October last, and has just terminated, ID a
Judgment for the Defendant with costs.
Al 1t appears by this that this Company, from the
great number of one horse wagons that travel
81 this road, have taken for several years past from
the public, several dollars per day, unustly, which
cruel exacton, must have been peculiarly hard for
many poor travellers; we are happy to say it must
now terminate as one OF the injured has had sutF
cient spirit to resist the injury TO successful close
