JANUARY TERM-DAvIs, j., PRESIDING.
WEDNEsDAy.-In the case of ]. c. Wood
man VS.. VIM. Hatch ct al, the jury returned
verdict for defendants.
No. 392-Wiliam P. Merrill vs. First Free
will Baptist Society of Portland.
Assumpsit to recover balance of SsG2.93,
alleged to be due plaintiff for services as Pas
tor Of said Society for three and half years.
The plaintiff claims $500 for the first year,
$1,000 each for the next two succeeding years,
and $500 for the last six months of his min
ist-y.
The defendants say that plaintiff was hired
to preach for one year from Dec. 18th, 1857,
at $500; also for another year, from Dec. 18th,
1853, at $1,000; also for one year, from Dec.
18th, 1859, at $500. That before the expira-
tion of this last year, to wit, Oct 20, 1860,
plaintiff resigned, and his resignation was ac-
cepted and his services ceased-and that for
all his services during the time aforesaid he
has been fully paid. That after his resigna-
ton he was never employed by the Society,
aud, therefore, they are not indebted to him
for the sum Of $500, as alleged in the fourth
item of the account annexed to the writ, and
that for all his services he has been fully paid.
After the testimony was all out, the case
was withdrawn from the jury, and, without
argument, submitted to the presiding Judge,
who took the papers and will render his de-
csion hereafter.
