not pay his workmen. Some time In the
early summer OF 1882, he made an arrange
ment with j. S. Holt OF Boston to furnish
stock, which was to be manufactured into
shoes at the So. Paris factory. Holt sent
a man to So. Paris to look after the work,
and visited the factory several times while
the work was being done. Several wit
nesses testified that Holt agreed to pay the
men who worked on these goods. Mr..
Daley testified that he was an agent for
Holt, and that Holt was to pay him cer-
tain sum, one dollar per case, for shop
rent, use of machinery and looking after
the work. The defense was that Mr..
Daley was working under 3 contract 10

furnished the stock, he was not respon-
sible for the labor bill. Letters between
the parties, and bills rendered by Daley

the work was done. Verdict for plaintiff
