BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
TUEsDAY.-In the case of Lowell VS.. Moulton re-
ported yesterday the verdict was for the defendant
Blethen for plaintiff.
M B. Cleaves for defendant.
I. p. Harrington VS.. John Milliken Action upon
promissory note for $3.50, dated January 10,
1879, payable in one year from date with interest,
at the First National Bank of Biddeford, signed by
the defendant payable to his own order and by him
endorsed in blank. The defendants story is that
in December 1878, man came to him representing
himself as agent for Hunter. Son & Co. of Syracuse
New York, manufacturers of the Eureka Moving
Machine Sharpener, and wanted him to become To-
cal agent for the sale of them in Buxton. After
much talk and importunement upon the part of the
agent, the defendant did sign printed agreement
to sell the article for six dollars apiece and return
the company three dollars for every one sold but
that in no case were the sharpeners to be sent faster
than he sold them. A few days after this he went
TO Mr.. Ira q. Doe of Saco, who had agreed to be-
come agent for that town and he, Mr.. Doe, wrote
to Syracuse to learn to the responsibility of Hun
ter. Son & Co., but never received reply. On the
Sth of January, two days previous to the date of
the note the defendant received notice that box
of moving machine sharpeners were at the depot,
directed to him; he di0 not go after them see
them and on the tenth man by the name of l.. G.
Brons on made his appearance, representing himself
as attorney for Hunter, Son & Co., with bill for
thirty seven moving machine sharpeners. "But, -
says Mr.. Milliken 81 never ordered them, and the
agreement was that only one should be sent me for
a sample, and thereafter only as fast as sold
them" In reply the attorney presented printed
order signed by Milliken, in which he does order
thirty-seven sharpeners. Bronson wanted him to
give note if he couldn't pay money, telling him
he had taken other notes of parties around there.
A1illiken asked him if Doe had given him note.
NO" said Bronson, 81 had no need to take note
of him, he paid cash and found no fault" Mr.. Mil
iken said he supposed Doe had heard from Syra-
and that everything was all right and that up
on Bronson's threatening suit he gave the note in
suit. Doe testified that he did not pay any cash nor
give note.
Mr. harrington, the plaintiff, testified that he
knew nothing of the facts above detailed; that he
discounted the note for Bronson after ascertaining
that Milliken good, paying the face value less
per cent? that he purchased it after its date
The case was submitted to the jury without argu-
ment Verdict for the plaintiff for S191.10.
L. S. Ridlon for plaintiff.

The New Theatre

Mr.. Curtis, manager of the Portland Theatre,
authorizes us to state that he has made an ar
rangement for the entrance to the new theatre
on Casco street, as published in the PRESS sew
eral days ago. There has been between
twelve and thirteen thousand dollars already
pledged towards the erection of the building.
There seems to be a misunderstanding with
many people about the subscriptions The
company is stock company entitled the
Portland Opera House Company, with a capi-
tai stock of $25,0O0, divided into 250 shares of
500 each. The stock is unassessable. If the
manager of the present Portland Theatre can
pay handsome rental to the owners on such q
property, he can most assuredly pay it on
new theatre, located on the ground floor, in an
eligible locality. The theatre will be all that
can be desired, and sufficiently large, both in
stage accommodations and seating capacity, to
accommodate all those who wish to See the
best attractions, spectacular Or operate, as we'll
