Action OF assumpsit to recover damages
for not delivering a moving machine ac-
cording to agreement The facts as devel-
oped on trial tended to show that in the
Spring of 1865 plaintiff bought of defend
ants a moving machine, which was to be
delivered before hayins, and that said
machine was not delivered till the haying
season was nearly through. and that in

Chas. d. Reed rs. Il. g.. @. Amidon.-
Action to recover expenses incurred by
the plaintiff in preparing TO defend suit
against the plaintiff by the defendants in
October, 1865. The evidence of the plain
tiff tended to prove that a suit was brought
against him by the defendants, said suit
being made rcturnable at defendants hotel
il Winhall, October A, 1865, before JUS
tice Amori Benson that on said day he
attended, with his counsel and witnesses
but that no Justice appeared either to hear
or continue the suit; that the defendants
so negligently conducted said suit that he
was put to great costs and expense, which
which he claimed TO recover in this action.
The evidence of the defendants tended to
show the facts substantially as above stated
with the further fact that on the return
day the Justice did not attend for the rea-
son that his wife was dangerously i'll, and
died on that day that the defendants duly
notified said Justice of the day to which
the suit had been continued, and on that
day the defendants were present with their
witnesses and counsel, and expected and
expected and desired a trial that Justice
Benson did not attend for the reason that
he had got this suit coEfounded with an
other which he had in Peru, returnable
upon subsequent day, and consequently
attended at Peru instead of at Winhall;
that as soon as it was ascertained that
Justice Benson would not attend the de-
PENDANTS took measures TO obtain another
Justice to continue the suit; but were un-
abe to procure the attendance of one
