SIDE JuDGEs.-Thc St Adams Mes
senger pays the following compliment to
the Assistant Judges Of the Court in
Franklin county, as followr
The most important case Of the term
was the motion for new trial made by
A. M. Clark in the important sheep case
of Hathaway rs. Clark. The motion wae
oyerruled; the presiding Judge, bow
ever, dissenting. Judges Stevens and
Whitney were both Of the opinion tina,
there was improper conduct among the
jury and toward the jury, but not suffi.
cient to vitiate the verdict. Exceptions
were taken by the petitioner. We know
nothing Of the merits of the motion and
wish to express no opinion, but we cannot
forbear to note that the Associate Judges
have won credit for independence Of opin.
ion, and the world can now see that thew
really have something to do besides to
scratch the Judges back" as tho story
goes.
