passing on the premises leased TO the defend
ants, and taking out some ore. But il did mol
appear clearly whether this trespass was be.
fore or after the lease here in suit, nor that
Stroup knew of it. There was no wlful in.
reference in bad faith, and the defendants
did not complain of it until suit brought. The
verdicts were for the plaintiff in one suit for

The case of CAlharinA Tann~, .~.'oh~ u
Weaver was next tried. 1t was an action for
a breach OF promise of marriage, and though
il was not proved in express words, the evi.
dence clearly proved by all the facts in the
case that promise existed. The defendant
had courled the plaintiff for some eighteen
months, and letters were given in evidence
which indicated the most tender relations,
consistent only with premise of marriage.
II was, however, proved in defence that Miss
Tanner, after the alleged promise of marriage
denied that il existed OIher witnesses tes-
tilted that after the snil was brought the de-
fendanl said she would moi have sued Wea-
yer excep,to spite Mrs. Remley, his mother
This was what The defendants counsel relied
on, but IN the opinion OF the court and jury
il did not excuse his conduct, and the plain
tiff obtained verdict of $500, which was all
she claimed. The parties live in Madison
township. Leidy and Comfy for plaintiff,
Clark and Freeze for defendant.

a claim OF some $3.50 for building stable,
