that any publishing firm would pay $40
or S15 day and expenses to any of the
text book committees to act as agents
for them, is evidence of the entire I'M
reliability of the whole statement.

No. 81. Bradley Morrison VS.. John
B. Darling. Action on the case. Pitts
testimony tended to show that he was
in the occupation of farm on Wells
river in Groton that there was nice
meadow on the farm; that the deft.
from 1873 to 1873 run logs down the
said river to his (deft.'s) mill at South
Ryegate that the river was not navi-
gable stream that the logs run upon
his meadow, cut and tore down the
banks, and injured the farm. The deft.' IS
testimony tended to show that the
stream was a navigable one; that logs
were run in it before GrOton pond was
raised, a reservoir thereby created that
the logs did no special harm to the
farm. The main question was, whether
Wells river, before any improvements
were made, was navigable stream.
