Judxe Storer. The plaintin charged that he
had BEEN deprived OF one OF mrs teeth ey the

causing great pain and indamstiou. A dsutist
had testifled that the extract on of the tooth

allev lated il. In his opinion, the supparatioa
complained Of bad commenced before the tooth
vas pulled. It was charged, however, that
The tooth was pulled without the plainuRns
consent. The plain'in and several other wit
nesses testified that he did consent. The de-
fsndant SAID the plainan opened his mouth.
The defendant then pulled one Of the roots Of
the tooth very easily No objection WAS a sde
and he then puiied the other two roots This
statement is denied by the pla,nuff. The
weight Of the evidence Is that the plaintiff dad
not consert The question then reduces itself
to this what was the vaise Of that tooth. From
the eyidence IL appears that the tooth was not
worth much TO plaintiff. IL caused him great
pain, and produced infis smmafion. IL could
not be uoed for purposes OF mastication. and
me evidence shows that its extraction was OF
benefit to him. IL also appears that defe ndant

Nevertheless the tooth belonged to plaintifft
