COUNTY COURT.

COUNTY COURT.
The jury in the case of the St. j. &
l.. G. r. X. Co. against b. A. Hunt re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff Fri
day forenoon of one cent damages and
costs, after being ont on the case
Thursday afternoon and all night.
The next case was that of A. j. Will
lard against A. ID. Pike. The latter,
as collector of taxes, sold four shares
of bank stock belonging to Willard to
obtain payment for taxes of 1888 and
1884 assessed against Willard, which
he refused to pay on ground that the
grand list was illegally made. The
plaintiff claimed that large amounts
of property were omitted from the
grand list which should appear there
in, also that the list was not made out
and filed in the manner and time re-
quired by law, alleging that the listers
property of the +. Il T. Fairbanks
| Co., the Ely Hoe and Fork Co. and
others, and that the list for these years
was not legal. The town clerk, the
listers, Mr.. Pike, Nj. Willard and
others gave their testimony. The
counsel for the defendant were Idle &
Stafford, Mr.. Willard having the as
sistance of Bates & May in conducting
his case. The arguments were begun
Monday afternoon aud finished Tues
day morning. Judge Ross, in his
charge to the jury, after touching on
other points, referred to the main
claim relied on by the plaintiff, as be-
ing the Intentional violation of their
oath 10y the listers in the alleged
omission of taxable property from the
valuation list. A mere mistake in
judgment on the part of the listers
would not invalidate the list, but to
act in bad faith as to their oath which,
is the sole guarantee the taxpayers re-
ceive from them-wOuld render the
list corrupt and invalid. The case
went to the jury not far from one
O'Clock Tuesday afternoon, and they
returned verdict for the defendant
after being ont four or five hours. II
is understood the jury were at first Il
to = in favor of the defendant, then IL
tn most of the time, one granger
holding out several hours against hi

exceptions were taken by the plaintiff
