SuDr0m0 .1udiciaJ Court.


The following decisions were received yesterday
from the law court:
Hannibal Hamlin ct al, Trustees, vs. European &
North American Railway Co. ct ais.
Rescript by Symonds, 1.-The mortgage to the
complanants as trustees operated upon the nchoate
right OF the Maine Company TO conveyance of the
lots described in the Hinckley, Lord and Lord g.
Veazie contracts, soon as the contracts
cuted and that company was in possession under
them for the purposes of the charter. The mort.
gage attached to the right to deed of the station
grounds in Bangor as part of the road ITSELF and
it continued to attach to it as the right grew in
value. The interest which passed to the new COM
pany upon consolidation was subject to the COM
plainants mortgage. 1t was in its essence a right,
and nothing more, to acquire thing, which, when
acquired, as TO the complainants was part of the
railroad mortgaged to them. The assignment of the
contracts TO Jewett, Woods.& Emery was to secure
them against liability as endorsers the first three
OF the notes given in each instance for the purchase
money. Those notes were paid at maturity, the Ii
abb ity of the indorsers was at end and. their
right to hold the collateral ceased. The assign
ment had served its purpose. The interest it con-
veyed was commensurate only, in degree and dura-
ton, with the liability it secured. There is nothing
In the case TO exclude the Crosby lots any part
of the three lots in Bangor from the effect of the
mortgage as property not therein intendei to be
CURED and conveyed. The case of a railroad hold
ing more property for its purposes than its
present needs demand, is entirely different from
In which the company buys other property. distinct
from the road and its appurtenances, intended
or necessary for the present prospective
OF its franchise, and therefore not within the pur
view OF the mortgage The complainants are entit-
led TO an injunction against all the respondents
named therein and in the amendment, restraining
them from any interference with the complainants'
possession and control as mortgages, of the real
estate therein described and from any resistance of
complanants' title to the same the extent of the
trusts declares in the mortgage -the mi onction to
be made perpetual and without the limitation just
stated if the title of the complanants has or shall
become absolute by legal foreclosure.
Decree accordingly.

dsptCt, dlu tDe county V0uuur6Q TO erect a
more spacious and elegant court house. The
old one was sold to the Free Will Baptist Soci-
ETY. for house of worship, and in 1916 it was
hauled with oxen 10 the south side of Court %
now Exchange street, between Congress and
Federal streets, The centre of the second
story floor was removed and rallied around,
leaving gallery on each of the four sides. In
1877 the society vacated it for the then new
Casco street church, and the next year it was
sold for soap factory and was moved to Green
street, where it was taken down in about 1875.
In 1915 an additional piece of land on the
northeast side and adjoining the court house
lot, 20 feet in width and l55 in length, was
purchased of Henry Titoomb for $400.
In 1916, under the direction of the commit
tee, consisting of Sheriff Hunnewell Barrett
Potter and Albert Newhall. was erected on the
county lot, brick court honse, 6Ox5O feet, of
pleasing architecture, and with cupola, which
was surmounted by the scales of justice. 1t
was directly at the head of Exchange, then
called Court street, making fine appearance
from all parts OF that street. In 1881 two pro-
JectlDg wings were added at the ends, of about
twenty feet each, and containing fire-prOof
rooms for the county offices. The additions
gave it an improved appearance.
When the vote of 1919 was found to favor
the separation of the District of Maine from
Massachusetts, there was warm feeling in
nearly the whole State to make Portland the
capital. To do this, the County of Cumber-
land rendered to the new State the free use OF
the court house, whereupon company of the
leading citizens of Portland proposed to erect
on the county's lot, adjoining the court house,
separate building, to be gratuitously occu-
pied by the State government, with apartments
for the State officers. This land was purchas-
ed by the county at a "vendue' sale, in 1917
it being the remaining part of the front of the
Plummer lot, 81 feet on Back street
to Myrtle street, and being 15O feet
on Myrtle street. On this lot was a
stable, which was occupied by the owner
John Plummer, deceased. On this part OF
the county lot in the spring of 1920 was erected
by those gentlemen two story wooden build
ing with hipped roof and high stories. The
front was finished with pediment supported
by pilasters, sheathed and painted white, and
at the time, it was considered an elegant
building. The State officers had their apart
ments in the lower story and the upper story
was occupied by the Senate chamber and the
rooms for the Governor and Council. This
building was dignied by the name of the
''state house" which it bore while it was oc
cupied as such. The court room of the cour
house was occupied as the representatives

One Of the concluding paragraphs of Surro-
gate LlvlngstOn'S decision is rs follows:
Who can doubt from the evidence that the
decedent's religious feelings were stronger
than her affection for her brother and her
gran1daugters; that she was more anxious
and deslrouS to secure the prayers anti
blessings Of the many who would profit BY
her charitable beuuests than to assist her
relatives: AS Judge McCne said in regard
to the change made in one Of her wills, she
did not want to increase thenumberOf bene-
ticiaries- She wanted to get four friends
instead OF two. She wanted to have prayers

she would have everybody III the world to
