JAMES NJ. Day,
In our Court record. last week, part
Of our edition placed the name OF Hon.
Enoch Foster, IL, as counsel for the
plaintiff, in the case of Sarah ). l.. Gray
vs.. Ansel Dudley. Mr.. Foster was coun-
sci for the defendant, Mr. Dudley, and re-
covered verdict for his client, as he usu ,
ally does. The error occurred from the
fact that we were over-rushed with bust
ness, and failed TO read the proof with
sufficient care. The case was properly
reported in manuscript.
Court adjourned Monday morning after
a very busy session. The jury was DIS
charged Saturday night, at about ten
o'clock, after giving verdict IN the case
Rawson vs.. Kimball. The members
were Immediately paid off, and those who
could, started for home, notwithstanding
the late hour.
Several more cases would have been
tried this week, but Judge Peters was
obliged to adjourn in order to open Court
in Bangor on Tuesday morning As
the December term has been discontinued,
il will be safe to predict a long session
in March.
County Attorney kimball had several
cases ready for trial, among them the
case of State vs.. Bacon, the only Paris
criminal case which has been called for a
long time. The case was tried before
Justice Wright, who fined Bacon, from
which an appeal was taken. 1t will be
remembered that the action was for an
assault on ;. NJ. King, alleged TO have
been made by Bacon, who was fishing on
Stoney Brook. Several hundred dollars
were collected in fines and costs. IL Is
estimated tha; the indictments will yield
enough to pay all the criminal bills for
the term. Criminal matters were DIS
posed of as follows:
State OF Maine V. Jason Russell, false
pretenses, indictment quaShed on demur-
rer.
State OF Maine vs.. John A. Putnam, ap-
pelsnt. mol pros on payment OF costs.
