Blackstone National Bank VS.. Richmond j,
Lane
justice of the Superior Court by whom this action
was tried without the aid of a jury, admitted
some irrelevant evidences; but the evidence was
and its admission does not, therefore, enttle the
defendant TO a new trial; and all the other rul
ings appearing TO have been correct, the excep
plaintiff for $5,023.5O is affirmed, with interest
thereon since Its rendition
HANCOCK COUNTY.
John Doyle, applt. VS.. Maine Shore Line Rail-
Rescript-It is the opinion of the court that the
ssc Of the a s anS ae op he shore

Orrin McFadden ct ais. In equity vs. town OF
Dresden.
Rescript-It is undoubtedly true, as the plain
tiff's counsel contends, that a town cannot law
fully divide its money among its inhabitants from
whatever source the money is obtained and the
Injunction prayed for is not denied for want OF
law, but for want of proof OF an intention on the

make such q division; and on this ground, the
decree of the court below dismissing the bill Is
affirmed, without costs for either party.

ceedings in the Probate Court; and on this
ground the exceptions are oyerruled and the de-

Escaped Without injury.

horse became frightened in Market
square yesterday afternoon and attempted to
run away. He ran upon snow bank in
front of Old City Hall, tipped the sleigh
over, ran across the street and turned
around the telegraph pole in front of Chan
dler's Band headquarters, and brought up
at the corner of Old City Hall. All this time
the young man who had been driving held
fast to the reins and was dragged twice
acrsss the street before the horse stopped.
The horse was slightly cut but the young
man escaped without injury and the sleigh
was not broken. If the plucky driver had
not held fast to the reins the horse would
undoubtedly have escaped and much more
damage would have been done.
