Washington County Court.

Alice McMurphy as. JOSephW. Harvey
This case was on trial at the time we went
to press last week. The jury, after being
out all night, returned a verdict of guilty.
Alvin w. Clark rs. Austin Howard, Ap-
pellant.-This was an action of general as
sumpsit, brought to recover balances claimed
to be due upon three lots of lumber sold by
the plaintiff to the defendant. The plaintiff
owns and runs a saw-mill in Cabot and the
defendant is lumber dealer residing at
Hartford, VT 1t appeared that the defend
ant ordered a carload of spruce boards of
the plaintiff to be sent to Massachusetts,
naming the price at S14.j0 per thousand
feet, Howards s commission to be deducted :
that Howard returned the car as sold for
$l4 per thousand, making a difference of
some S6.S3. The defendant claimed that
the boards ordered ought to have been
planed on both sides, whereas they were
only planed on one side, and that made the
difference of fifty cents on each thousand
feet. He also claimed that the letter order
ing these boards had been tampered with
and the order, "planed one side written
in after it left his hands. The next claim
in the plaintiffs specifications was for an
item of S2S, the difference between the
parties upon the settlement of another car
load of spruce boards shipped to Bellows
Falls on an order sent the plaintiff by the
defendant at a stated price of SO per thou
sand feet. The defendant claimed that
these boards were not the width that they
ought to have BEEN that they We're shipped
in an open car when they should have been
sent in closed car, and for this reason they
! had become wet and damaged that the
