SUPREME COURT DECISION. The case OF
Daniel Williams vs.. Jonas Bemjs, executor of
the estate orthe latc Hlrvlin Towne OF Charlton,
was heard before the jury at the August term
of the superior court, 1870, when Il verdict was
rendered for the plaintiff, but set aside by the
Judge (Deyeas) on the ground of misdrecton
AT the March term, 1871, Judge Scudder prcsid-
ing, the case was reported for consideration by
the full bench of the supreme court, where it
was argued at the last October term. The points
of the case were: The plaintiff claimed pay for
services and materials furnished in carrying on
land of defendant The defence was, that the
plaintiff took the land to carry OF on shares, and
was to work for himself and also than the contract
was within the statute of frauds, and not being
in writing, plaintiff could not recover. A re-
script has been received from the supreme
court directing judgment for the plaintiff TO
the amount claimed, confirming The verdict of
the jury which sat upon thecase. This decision
involves an important principle of wide
practical application. The supreme court say
in their reScript that the defendant having lc-
fused TO allow the plaintiff to carry on the land
for the fine specified in the contract, the plain
tiff had right TO treat the contract as rescind-
ed, and TO recover a reasonable compensation
for materials and labor by him furnished. w
