Rice vs.. Holden.

On Tuesday occurred the trial of the
suit, Mrs. Marietta Rice VS.. Frank Holden.
The plaintiff claimed, and her evidence
tended to show, that she was the rightful
owner of certain real estate, known as the
Corydon Ware farm that said defendant
entered upon her premises and took down
a certain barn and drew it away for his
own use. The defendant admitted the act
but claimed that he bought the building OF
Mrs. Ware in her lifetime and hence had a
right to the property. The farm had
changed hands several times, but no reser-
walton had been made in any case; hence
the plaintiff claimed, and the court held,
that Holden had no legal right to remove
the building and rendered judgment for
plaintiff to recover S12 damages, and costs,
which amounted to S10.41. Faxon L.
Bowen was attorney for Mrs. Rice and A.
A. Butteriield for Holden.
Pleasantries and sharp thrusts were free
ly INDUCED in by the legal gentlemen,
causing more or less merriment among the
audience. Each maintained his side OF
the case with ability. We believe this is
the first case in which Z. A. Willard, jr.,
has acted as trial justice but he is to be
congratulated on his success, as his rulings
were unbiased and his decision fair and
equitable.
