The case of John Tyler Jr., assignee

more directly connected with it, but to
the general public. Potter & Nixon

FRIDAY MORNING.
The case of John Tyler, Jr., against
| the executor of the estate of David
Rose, was still on this morning; the
evidence being all in, the lawyers begun
their summing up.
A contract was offered, setting forth
that David Rose agreed with Isaac A.
I s. Cook, that if he, Cook, would board
and keep the said Rose during his life,
let him have the use of a horse and
carriage and such produce as he
wanted from Cooks farm, that he
would leave Cooks farm at his, Roses
death, free of debt This agreement
was made in 1868. In 1864 a pre-
vious agreement had been made, by
which Cook should board Rose and his
wife for $500 per year. Mrs. Rose sub
seauently died.
This last agreement was testified to
by some seventeen or eighteen wit
nesses. Mr.. Rose boarded with Mr..
Cook from that time until 1864
period of twenty-five years.
The mortgages and interest against
the farm amounted to about $4,000.
1t was claimed that if the bargain to
liquidate the indebtedness of the farm,
did not hold then the estate of David
Rose should pay to the assignee of
Cook, the amount of board, horse and
carriage hire, and farm produce used.
aggregating $12,9s1.66.
The defense is that Mr.. Rose, at his
death, left to the children of Isaac A..
8. Cook, legacy of $4,000. The es-
tate of Mr.. Rose was worth $35 900, and
the balance of the estate, $4,000, was
left to other legatees. That the legacy
left to them included the legacy in
tended for Isaac A. s. Cook, and the
payment of this claim would lessen the
amount to the children, by the amount
of whatever judgment might be OBJ
tanned by this suit.
Mr.. Cook had been left the farm by
his father; he, Mr.. Cook, assuming
however, mortgages placed upon the
farm amounting to $11,500. This
mortgage was what Mr.. Rose intended
to have discharged at his death. Hav-
ing left the legacy to Mr.. Cooks chill
dren, the assignee of Mr.. Cook sues to
recover the sum of $12, ,9S1, ,66, from the
executor of David Rose, for board, sc {,
as above stated. The defense is that
all have been sufficiently satisfied.
The following prisoners were brought
into court and sentenced by Judge
Hoagland.

cency, one year in State Prison and
until cost of prosecution is paid.
