Several important cases were ex-
pected to be tried but did not come
to trial. Bad roads, absent wit
nesses, the disposition to do as little
as possible at the winter term were
among the causes that made the term
almost complete failure.
Mary Beede, of Albany, against 1.
L. Sanders, of Albany, and in this the
court ordered a verdict for the plain
tiff, after trial of an hour. Nathan
and Robert Beede, sons of the plant
iff, few years ago were in the habit
of borrowing money of the defend
ant, to be used in buying cattle.
After while they disagreed, and
Sanders sued them to recover a bal
ance due. They pleaded an offset
S175, which they said Sanders held,
the proceeds of note owned by
their mother, which had been deposit
ed by their mother as collateral for a
loan. The jury found, under the
charge of the Court, that the Beede
boys owed the sum Sanders claimed,
but that the S175 belonged to their
mother, and could not be set off
against their debt; and that Sanders
had it in his possession. The cause
went to the supreme court upon eX-
ceptions, and the judgement of the
county court was affirmed last Au-
gust. Then the present suit was
brought by Mrs. Beede, to recover
her money, which the jury had said
was in the possession of Saunders,
The plaintiffs put in evidence the
verdict of the jury in the other case
and the judgement of the supreme
court thereupon. Judge RedfelC
held that that was inclusive, and OF
dered verdict for the plaintiff to re-
cover $175, interest from Nov. 20
1878, and her costs. Exception:
were taken and allowed, and tn,
cause was passed to the supreme
court. Judge Thompson and W. w
Miles are counsel for the plaintiffs
, and John G.. Burke for the defendant
