wINDHAM COUNTY COURT.

| Wlnunam county COufG opened
Tuesday, the 9Th, in usual form.
Prayer by Rev. C. A. Smith. The
first jury case was Moses johnson VS.
Arthur B. Clough ct ais. This was
an action between West Jamaica par
ties wherein the plaintiff charged the
defendants with having broke into an
unoccupied dwelling house belonging
to him and destroying the windows
and curtain and amount of person
al property therein situated. The de-
PENDANTS deny having anything to do
with destroying the property, as the
plaintiff alleged. This was sharp
fought case and developed good
deal of neighborhood feeling. The
jury returned verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. A. +. Cudworth and L..
M. Reed for the plaintiff. Water
man, Martin & Hit for defendants.
The next case was c. p. ellison of
Chesterfield, N. H., VS. John M.
Moore of So. Newfane. In this case
the plaintiff sought to recover DANA
ges for false warrant in the sale of
a horse which he bought of the de-
fendant. The defence was that the
horse was as represented. The jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff to
recover of the defendant eighty-fve
dollars and his cost. Waterman,
Martin & Hit for plaintiff. Has
kins and Stoddard for defendant.
The next case for trial was B. W.
Beers VS. Moses johnson. This was
an action of trover to recover twenty
five dollars worth of spruce lumber
which was the balance that the plain
tiff says defendant agreed to pay him
as boot between the exchange of a
horse for a pair of oxen and which
lumber he says the defendant deliv-
cred to the station agent at Jamaica
for him. The defendant acknowl-
edged drawing the lumber to the de-
pot but says that it was not to be de-
livered to the plaintiff until he made
good certain representations that he
made in the exchange of the horse
for the oxen. The jury returned a
verdict for the plaintiff for twenty
five dollars and his cost Waterman,
Martin & Hit for plaintiff. A. f.
Cudworth and L. M. Reed for de-
fendant.
The next case which is now on trial
is Sidney H. Sherman assignee of
the insolvent estate of James H.
Jacobs VS. Edward ID. Roberts of
Brattleboro. This is brought to re-
cover the value of certain bakery in
Brattleboro which the defendant
bought of Jacobs a few days before
he was adjudged an insolvent debtor
and which the assignee claims was in
fraud of the other creditors. The de-
fence was that the defendant bought
the property in question paying all il
was worth for it in good faith and
without any knowledge that Jacobs
was at that time an insolvent. The
case was finished and given to the
jury at 5 O'Clock p. m. yesterday
Waterman, Martin & Hit for plain
tiff. Haskins & Stoddard for de-
fendant. The jury were evidently
hung up for the night and were hav-
ing some trouble in getting together
on verdict.
The next case of Brutus NJ. Whit
ney VS. Newall and Stebbins was
started last night, but very little evil
dence put in. This is supposed to be
the last jury case.

rection.
