Stevens vs.. Hallowell. In this case the
jury returned Q verdict for the pln. for
$4,84.
Evadna Wiegin vs.. A. b. Sibley. +. Z.
Southard for plf., C. L. Tanner for deft.
Assumpsit on account annexed to writ to
recover $40 for rent of tenement on Court
street in this city, and comes by appeal
from the municipal court Of Augusta. The
deft. admits that he owes the amount
clsimed, but not to the plh. He says Grst
that he went into the tenement under q
party holding mortgage Of the premises
who had possession. and to him the rent is
due, but that If it should be found that the
plff. had posses lion and the relation of land
lord and tenant existed between plff. and
deft., then she cannot recover, because her
mortgage, acting Is her agent, made dis
iinct agreement with him to extend the
time for payment Of the amount sued for,
but that the p'ff not having revoked the
mortgagee's authority or given deft. any
suthofity, brought suit before the time to
which payment was extended. The plh.
claims that she had the title to. and posses
sion Of, the premises, and was entitled to
the rent; that the mortgage did act a. her
sgent but that plff refused to pay and suit
was brought; that If there was any sgree-
mebt on the part of the agent to extend
time for payment 1t was without considera-
ton, and therefore suit was not premature
ly brought. Verdict for the deft.
Susan A. Carter vs.. city of Augusta. +.
W. Whitehouse for plaintiff. A. NJ. God
dard for defendant. Assumpsit on account
annexed to writ to recover the amount OF
sl60, for psuper supplies furnished one
Michael +. Hurley, minor. The plaintiff,
who resides in Augusta, clsims that she
took the child to board at 81 per week of
its parents when it was SIX months old, and
that when it was two years old the parents
had ceased to pay anything for its main
tenance, and she notified the overseers of
the poor Of the city, Oct. "a, 1887, that the
child was in need Of support and that the
city must pay its board from that time until
they took it away or give it to her by legal
adoption; that there was an ag,eement to
this proposition on the par. Of at leas. two
members of the board, but that she has
never received any pay from the city nor
have they taken 1. away or brought about
the adoption. The father being alive the
city could not act in the matter of adoption
but when the child was four years old she
adopted it through the Probate Court The
defence is that the whole matter relating
to the child was left by the board Of over
seers to its members who decided sgsinst
The binding out or adoption and on Dec. IL.
81, notified the plff. that the city would
not be responsible for the board ard then
