Superior Court.


Observation-Disclosures of Deering VS.. Inhabi-
tants of Farmington. Action to recover s95.43 for
pauper supplies furnished the family of Charles
f. Morrill,, formerly called Charles F. Bump, whose
settlement it is alleged is in Pennington. The fe-
PENDANTS deny the settlement of Morrill, to be in
Pennington but upon this point offered no testi-
mony contradcting the testimony of Morrill,. that
he had never resided five successive years in any
town since being in Pennington in 1860. The
main point of defence is that the woman and chill
dren towhom these supplies in suit were furnished
is, and never was, the lawful wife of Morrill, be-
cause at the time of their alleged marriage in Deer
ing in June, 1875, Morrill, had a lawful wife then
alive in Bangor To this the plaintiffs reply that
Morrill, did go through the form of marriage with
one Georgianna Balm in January, 1872, but thai
marriage was void because she then had a lawful
husband alive. This the defendants deny, claiming
that Harry Balm, the husband of Georgianna, died
aboard steamer on the passage from New York 10
Philadelphia The fact of the distress and immedi-
ate need of relief of the recipients of the supplies
the suitability and reasonableness of the prices, no.
tice and denial all admitted, so that the main
question in the case is whether not Harry Balm,
the husband of Georganna, was living at the time
of her marriage to Charles F. Morrill,.
Georgianna testified that her husband Harry
Bain left her in Bangor to g, to New York or Phil
adelphia to have bullet removed from his body,
received by him in the army, from which wound and
bullet he was suffering and bleeding from the
mouth that about week after he left she received
a letter from her husband dated on board steamer
Richard Stockston, saying he was bound from New
York to Philadelphia, was very sick and bleeding
the night before, but if God was willing. would
be home in week or ten days. With this letter.
came letter from the captain of the steamer. cay
ing her husband died, bled to death the night be-
FORE She never heard from her husband afterwards
and does not know what disposition was made of
his remains He came from Philadelphia and had
relatives residing there. Tried by the Court with
out jury. Decision reserved.

1881, by the defendants. The defendants plead a
discharge in insolvency in September, 1881. The
plaintiffs claim that being residents of New York,
and the sale and delivery being made in New York.
and the fact that payment for them was to be
made in New York, the discharge in insolvency is
no bar. The defendants deny that the sale was
made in New York, or that the payment was to be
made for them at that place; that on the contrary
the sale was in Portland and the plaintiffs were to
draw upon them after days in Portland Decision
reserved.
