Hancock ct al. Action to recover $16454 fol
labor as spinner in the Falmouth Wooden Mil
at North GRAY. The dts, who are merchants al
Gray Corner, held mortgage upon the stock il
the wooden mill given by one William Beatty, anC
the plaintiff claims that in October, 1884, they
took possession of the mill, agreed to pay thu
help, and that thereafter the manufacturing wa!
done by Beatty as the agent of the defendants
The defendants deny that they ever took posses
sion under their mortgage or had anything to dt
with the manufacturing OF goods in the MILL They
admit that in October they starr ed to take posses
sion, but the idea was abandoned, and Beatty con
PENDANTS admit that they furnished some stock
for the mill and paid some of the help in groceries
and cash, but always under orders signed by
Beatty; that they had been accustomed for years
to deal with Beatty in this way and that there had
been no change in their method OF dealing aftel
The defendants introduced many orders giyer
by Beatty during this period on the defendants
directing them to deliver groceries to the EN-
pl0yes and charge the same TO his account; also
letters to Deering & Milliken, to whom the goods
were consigned, in which Beatty says: Il have
shipped you" such goods and directs as to the
disposition of the funds and the purchase of other
stock; also the invoices in the name of Beatty.
They also introduced the books OF Beatty, show
ing that no change was made in the manner or
method of keeping the books-n0 mention made
of the transfer and no new account opened. They
also introduced writing signed by Beatty, 4, in
proprietors of the mill and were not liable for the
wages of the employees, but Beatty claims that he
signed it under threat of the defendants to close
the mill if he did not sign it.
The plaintiff among other things introduced
evidence to the effect that James Hancock was
frequently at the MILL that he gave directions as
to the shipment of goods; that he was notified as
early as December that certain of the help were
looking to defendants for their wages and that he
never notified them that they were not re-
sponsble; that they had paid some of the err.
ployes This defendants admitted, but claimed il
was upon Beatty's orders or by his direction. The
defendants also put in their account against
Beatty during this period, in which the goods de-
lvered the help upon his orders were charged to
him. credit given for such money as they had re-
ceived from Deering, Milliken & Co., and which
account Beatty settled by giving them note fol
