Court Proceedings.

Court Proceedings.
At the April term of Court held last
week, the following causes were tried
George Hoppock VS.. Abraham Cray ct
als.-This was an action upon two bonds
made by the defendants to tho plaintiff,
and which were secured by mortgages.
In the schedule to the declaration 1t was
stated that certain amounts had been real
lied upon foreclosure and sale OF the mort
gagged premises, and that judgment would
be claimed for the deficiency remaining
due upon the bonds. The plaintiff proved
the bonds and rested. It was claimed on
the part OF tho defense that the plaintiff
should be non.suited for the reason that
he had not proven sales under foreclosure
proceedings and the amount realized. The
Court refused to non-suit, and directed
the jury to find verdict for the plaintiff
fofskAe amount shown due by the de-
duction.
EMILY t. Vanderveer VS.. John ]. Van
deer.-This was a suit upon a note given
by the defendant to Henry Vanderveer,
the husband of the plaintiff, being for
claim OF the wife's against the estate of
the mother Of John and Henry, which was
settled by the next OF kin without pro-
batting the will of the mother. The note
was endorsed by Henry to his wife. The
Court non-suited the plaintiff because the
endorsement and transfer OF the note was
a contract between husband and wife, and
invalid.
Harrison r. Godown by Guardian vs..
Henry G. Holcombe and John Ramsey
This was an action of trespass for an un-
lawful taking OF the igon of the plaintiff
by the defendants. 10 1887 Henry q.
Holcombe sold the plaintiff, then minor,
buggy wagon for $75. Nearly two years
afterwards Holcombe sold the plaintiff
horse for $l70, and took his note for that
amount, which note contained a stipula-
ton that the sale was conditional, and
pledged the horse, and also the wagon,
and some other property of the plaintiff,
to the payment of the note. AT this time
the purchase price for the wagon had been
paid, excepting the sum OF $l5. The
horse died some two weeks after its pur-
chase. Subsequently the defendants went
to the barn of the plaintiffs father, and
took the wagon, 1t was claimed by them,
with the fathers consent. The father
testified that it was taken in spite OF his
protest. The Court instructed the jury
that il they found that the defendants took
the wagon without the consent OF the
father, the plaintiff was entitled to dam
ages, because, being minor, his contract
pledging the wagon in payment for the
horse could not be enforced. Verdict for
plaintiff, 800.
The Grand Jury found eleven bills Of
Indictment.
