At the close of Dickenson's three years' term
| of office, in 1888, he was found to be about
$4,000 short and was allowed to deed his farm
| to the town and 90 to California. 1t is al
legged that the deficit was discovered by the
selectmen in the early part of the year 1t
then amounted to about $500. Dickinson
was, however, allowed to 90 on making col
lections and paying money into the town
treasury until September when the final set
Element was made. The real estate which
he decided to the town sold for about $1,000
and the bondsmen for the three years were
called on for the balance of the missing
| money. Some of the bOndsmen objected to
paying on the ground that the town officers
had made a full settlement with the
ex-cOllectOr. 1t was, however, shown that
the settlement was not final and the decision
was against the bondsmen. In his charge to
the jury, Judge Virgin ruled that the officers
of the town were not bound to give the bonds
men notice of deficit, as they had bound
themselves to see that the obligations named
| in the bonds had been fulfilled, and it was
for them to look after the doings of the prin-
pal. In view Of the recent alarming increase
in the number of defalcations calling at,en-
ton to the duties and obligations of bondsmen
is timely.
