The case on trial at time of going to
press last week was James Paddock pro
ami v. Thomas Donovan. This was an
action for false Imprisonment against a
policeman of the vi llage of Bennington,
and at the time created quite little
notority. The defendant arrested plain
tiff without a war; INT for breach of the
peace which plaintiff claimed he was not
guilty of, and after keeping pllintif TO r
about half an hour, the defendant direct.
ed the jailor to release plaintiff without
making the complaint against plaintiff
that the statute requires. The Jury evil
IDENTIFY thought that the plaintiff could
not complain because the defendant did
not prosecute him further, and so
brought in verdict for the defendant.
Sheldon & Cushman and J. X. Batchel-
der for plaintiff, and Martin & Archibald
for defendant.
The next case for trial was the some
what noted one of s. X. Wilcox and wife
v. |. 5. Moon, wherein plaintiffs charge
defendant with writing a slanderOus let
ter. The jury were impannelled but the
case went off on some law questions and
then passed to the Supreme Court.
Waterman, Martin, Hit and Sheldon &
Cushman for plaintiff. Batchelder &
Bates and J G. Baker for defendant.
After this case the dOckets were called
and various motions made and decided

Tuesday morning.
At the coming in of the court Tuesday
morning the case of Adelaide Webb V.
Arnold Webb came on. This was an ac-
ton for assault and battery in which the
plrties live in Sunderland. The plain
tiff claimed the defendant came to her
place after roller, of which it is con-
ceded he owned half, and she went out
and forbade his taking it, when the de-
PENDANT attacked her and pushed and
pushed and jammed her about and great
ly injured her, and that by reason of
which injuries she was sick several
months. 1t seems to be conceded that
plaintiff was sick just as she says, but
defendant claimed the plaintiff attacked
him and he only defended himself
against the assault she was making upon
him. The jury were out all night and
then returned a verdict for the plaintiff
for $3.50 and Gusts. Batchelder and Bar
Der for plaintiff. Martin & Archibald
and j. G. Bahan fol- defendant.
This proved to be the last civil case
for trial and the day, Thursday, was oc-
cupied hearing divorce and other court
cases. and Friday morning the the crimi-
nal trials will be taken up which are ex-
pected to be short, and that the term
will close early next week.

with queer experiences occasionally. One
night this week precociOus couple APP
peared at the residence of Rev. A. c.
Field and desired to be united in mar
riage. On being Intercepted they gave
their names as Elmer Eastman and Nay
Bacon of Sunderland. On being further
Intercepted as tn a marriage license
they were somewhat at loss, and inquired
if it was something good to eat. Being
told that it was a document procurable
at the town Gle ks office, the girl asked
to be allowed to leave the kitten she car
ried in her arms while they went to pro-
cure the document. Pulling her shlwl
over her head they departed and have
not since been seen at the parsonage.
