Halde. Waldron and J. Baker for ptf Webb
for def. This action is brought to recover
for damages occasioned by . collision OF
teams in the streets of Waterville on the 10Th
interest from the character and standing Of
the parties-the ptf. being an Eclectic
physician resident many years, and having
large practice in Waterville; and
the def. being the Catholic priest sta
toned over the church there for about
the same length of time. 1t is alleged that
the ptf. was riding in his wagon up Elm st.
in northerly direction, near its junction
with Main street. and on the right hand SIDE
Of the street as he was riding, when the deft's
hired man who was driving deft's. horse and
wagon with another man in a dangerous and
reckless manner, came down upon him from
College street, and collided with his wagon
and threw him out upon the ground, break
ing the wagon and dangerously inJuring the
pitt in his person. The damages are iaid

1t is contended that the collision was wholly

contends that he is himself, IS well A. his

charge of the mission at Waterville BY au-
thority of the Bishop of the diocese. and Is
not, therefore, responsible for the result OF the
accident. but if responsibility exist: any
