Supreme Judicial Court.-Appleton {. J.
presiding.

TUESDAY, December lst.
Hartley Gray The town of Monmouth. In
this trial, which entered upon yesterday after
noon, the plf. testified and endeavored to prove
that his fall was occasioned by piece of plank in
the sidewalk being thrown up, so that he stumbled
over it, that the accident happened early in Feb.
1872; that his face was bruised, his collar bone
broken three of his ibis dslocated and that in the
Spring following he had hemorrhage Of the stom-
ach, and was reduced to the greatest extremity
all in consequence of the defective sidewalk. In
defence the town endeavors to show that it was on
the Sth of November previous that the plf fell i;
that the fall resulted from carelessness that the
sidewalk was in good condition; that the plf. pur-
sued his ordinary business on that very day; and
that if the plf really suffered injury to the extent
complained of, it must have happened at some
other place and time ard in some other manner.
The jury took the papers and retired at half past
four, but had not agreed upon verdict when the
court adjourned.
