There was no case ready for trial to-day
and an hour in the afternoon was spent in
calling the docket and disposing of such
cases as were not to be tried. OF the jury
calendar the following disposition was made

Vershire, apt. This was an action to re-
cover on town order that was outlawed
and WI. tried in June 1890, the plaintiff re-
covering verdict for $16S.55. Since then
the case has been to the Supreme court on
the question whether the record of the
report of the town auditors adopted
in town meeting, showing the out
standing orders against the town was such
an acknowledgement in writing of the in
debtedness, as would take the claim out of
the effect of our statute of limitations. The
Supreme Court decided that it was not. AS
there was nothing left for the PLAINTIFF case
