One Supreme Court Decision.

Editor CdledOnidn The case of Pen
niman st. JOhnsbury is of some in
terest to the landowners.
Penniman owned house and lot on
the east side of Main street, just below
the Baptist church. This house has
been built thirty years or more. In
the summer of 1880 the trustees of the
village of st. JOhnsbury, upon petition
for that purpose, graded said Main
street in front of the. house Penniman
owned, to the height of some three
feet and One-half; thus doing great in
jury to Penniman's house and lot. Be
fore beginning the work, the trustees
called upon Penniman, and he, at their
request, signed an agreement to claim
no more than $3.50 as damage if the
grade did not exceed 46 inches. Upon
completion of the work, the trustees,
upon advice of counsel, awarded Pen
niman no damage. In accordance with
law, Penniman brought petition at
/ the June term of 1881, for the appoint
ment of commissioners. An agreed
case was made up and sent to the Su-
preme Court at the general term just
held at Montpelier. The case was de-
cided upon its merits, and the Supreme
Court declare that for any change in
grade an adjoining landowner has no
claim for damage against the town by
petition that change of grade is not
an alteration" of the road within the
meaning of the statute that when a
highway is laid out and damages are
awarded, the law presumes that DANA
ges are given for all changes of grade,
etc, that are likely to occur at that
time. The Court said they did not de-
eide whether party would not have a
remedy in case of bad faith on the part
of the officers of town in making such
IA change of grade. This decision
would have saved this town quite Il
large sum if it had been made before.
John Hancock collected one thousand
dollars in a similar case, on Central
street, and James Mutt, Henry Levin
and Jesse Cheney large sums on Rail
road street for like cause The test
in such a case would seem to be this
'Did the officers making the change
of grade, etc, act in good faith ?" The
courts of most of the states, holding to
the rule thus laid down in Penniman's
case, acknowledge its injustice.
The acts of selectmen and village
trustees in the keeping and building OF
highways and streets are somewhat jul
dicial in character, and for their acts
they are not liable to any action, I'M
less done in bad faith.
We conclude, therefore, that an adj
joining landowner can have no rem
edy for damages done by reason of d
change of grade in front of his prem
Uses unless the officers appointed tC
take charge of the streets, etc, act il
bad faith. ELISHA MAY.

watched their chances and stole it,
carrying it up back of o. D. CObleigh's

not like the beverage, for when the keg
was found by Frank CObleigh, there
was a bottle left on the keg pretty full.
Had the key contained whiskey, Mr..

much, and the parties would probably
have been pretty drunk; but the keg

He would doubtless have done better
if he had not had a good deal of farm
work on hand. He caught three more
foxes and two more cOOns than last
year, but not so many skunks. He
finds the fur of these animals a source
