SUPERIOR COURT.

BEFORE JUDGE BONNEY.
Tuesday-Henry G. Doughty, admins
TRAITOR of the estate of Charles H.
Doughty against James E.Fickett.
This is a suit on Judgment obtained
in the Supreme Judicial court i'll October,
1866, by Charles 81. Doughty against
James E. Pickett for the sum of So, 1853. So
debt and 1850. SO costs.
The defendant claims that the judg-
ment being more than twenty years Of
age the presumption of law is that it has
been paid.
The defendant testified that his stock
of goods was attached at the time on the
writ with other after attachments, and
that the goods were sold for more than
enough to pay this judgment; that the
proceeds went into Charles H. Doughty S
hands and he had the prior attachment.
There was ether testimony tending to
show that Doughty made an agreement
whereby he and the subsequent attaching
creditors were to divide the proceeds of
the sale of the goods pro rata, giving
each about sixty per cent of his claim,
and that Doughty paid them and took an
assignment of the balance due on the
other claims. Decision reserved.

CONDEMNATION PROCEEDINGS.
The Government Does Not Appreciate the
Beauties of Cushing's Island, and
Wants to Get Its Battery Site at Low
er Price than Mr.. Cushing VIII Take.

United States District Attorney Dyer
has begun, on behalf of the government,
proceedings for the condemnation of
that portion of Cushing's Island needed
for the erection of a portion of the de-
fences of Portland. The proceedings
are novel in this portion of the country,
and before they are over will probably
develop much interesting matter, both
from the legal and real estate stand
points.
The governments scheme for the de-
fences of Portland contemplates the
erection of a very powerful battery on
the back side of Cushing's Island. For
this purpose the government wants
about SO acres of the shore land lying
back of the Ottawa House. Twenty
four acres of this is owned by Mr.. Fran
els Cushing, and the remaining nine or
ten acres by Mr.. John X. Robinson of
Chicago. The government usually ac-
quires what land it needs for batteries,
public buildings, etc., by purchase; but
in the present case purchase has not
been possible, because Mr.. Gushing and
the government have been unable to
agree as to price. Mr.. Gushing consid-
ers Cushing Island one of the foremost
resorts on the New England coast, and
thinks that it should be worth at least
$4,000 an acre.
|, Unwilling to pay this figure, the au-
thorities at Washington have ordered
condemnation proceedings. The pro.
ceedings take the form of a regular case
in court. They are brought before
Judge Webb in the District Court, the
title of the case being Omitted States of
America VS.. Francis Cushing, John K.
Robinson, Ceeile Rusch and Catherine
Gushing, defendants" The time of
hearing is set for tine first Tuesday of
December. The proceedings are under
the act of August IA, 1890, and from a
legal point of view are entirely novel.
The case will be tried before commit
tee or jury, under the direction of the
court.
<
Messrs. Strout, Gage 6 Strout are
counsel for the5defendants. Speaking of
the case last evening, Mr.. S. c. Strout
said that Mr. Gushing had offered to
leave the decision to a committee of ref
erees to be appointed by Judge Webb,
but that the authorities at Washington
did not see fit to adopt this source.

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

The following rescript has been received
from the Law Court:h
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Samuel u. Warren ct ais, in equity VS.
Westbrook Manufacturing company
Rescript, by Judge Emery-Where there
are two natural channels in a river caused
by an island, the owners of the island
are riparian owners as well as the owners
of-the mainland opposite the island.
The riparian owners upon each such
channel are entitled to have flow through
that channel as much of the water of the
river as would naturally flow there and
no more.
The riparian owners upon either of
such channels must acquiesce in the flow
through the other channel of as much of
the water of the river as would naturally
flow there.
In such case the waters of the rievr are
divided by nature between two channels,
and the two sets of riparian owners, and
however unequal that division may be
the court has no power to make it equal.
In such case bill in equity by the ripa-
rian owners upon one channel against the
riparian owners upon the other channel
asking for division between them of
the whole flow of the water of the river
cannot be sustained.
Bill dismissed with costs but without
prejudice. 4A

Lieut.. Charles G.. Morton of the 9Th

spectior. of the Maine militia saws.
There should be a regiment of regular
infantry located in the State of Maine.
Maine has tremendous frontier border
Ing on a country with which we NAV be
at war; In case of such a war, Halifax
and Montreal, together with the
Canadian Pacific railway and the st.
Lawrence river, would be of vital i'm
portance for us to seize. Strategic points
In MAINE for the concentration of troops
TO accomplish this purpose are not hard
TO lind. When we consider that the little
State of Vermont is soon to have one of
the regiments that are now being called
IN from the West, there seems to be no
reason why Maine should not have
aaothel, and this is especially the case
fance no state of southern New England
now contains other than artillery troops
on the sea coast. A regiment of infantry
would be of vast advantage to the state. y
