Judge Poland gave a written charge to the
Grand Jury, and appointed Hon. John p.
ingalls,, Foreman.
The first case was that of David Powers rs.
Lucius Denison and others, an old case now
tired for the third time. This was an action
of trespass on the freehold. The plaintiffs
evidence tended to prove that he was the
owner Of certain land in Sutton, on which
was small Westinghouse, and that the de-
PENDANTS entered on the land and removed
the house Oft from it. The defendants claim
ed that although the land did belong to the
plaintiff, the house belonged to some of the
defendants under whose direction the reno
val was accomplished. and that it was erect
ed under such circumstances that it might be
legally removed from the land. TO establish
this, they gave evidence tending to prove that
the house was built by one Allard. who was
i'll the employ Of Dcnison and two others of
the defendants. that they furnished the mate
rlalS, that it was built for iilards convenience
near a mill which he operated for Them and
that this was with the knowledge and consent
OF one Smith. the then owner of the lard.
who permitted the erection of the house for
temporary purposes. The plaintiffs rebuff
ting testimony tended to show that the house
was built hy Alard and owned by him. and
that an execution i'll favor of the plaintiff
against Alard had been levied and executed
on the lease.
The case was argued by Bliss y. Davis and
). Il. Colby for the plaintiff, and by +. A..
Cahoon and T. Bartlett for the defendants.
Nearly two days were occupied in the trial.
ard the case still remains with the jury as we
go to press.
