action is brought to recover damages fixed
at $500, for false returns on libel for
divorce, msde by Melvin S. Gordon one Of
the defendants deputies. The plaintiff says
that the officer returned on the original writ
and libel that he gave the defendant . true

not give an original summons but instead
gave . copy of the summons. Plaintiff

If the return is technically false the defend
ant was actually notified Of the suit and had
abundant time to appear in court
and make his defcnce-but that
instead Of doing that he did
not answer, but that after the decree was
made and during the same term of court he

no effort to have the case reopened
and have hearing on the merits,
and that the charge in the libel
is true. The court instructed the
jury that the return was not actually cor
rect and that in any event the plaintiff was
entitled to recover nominal damages. and
that if they found the defendant guilty of
the charge in the libel and could not by the
use of reasonable diligence have made a
defence then he would be entitled. to fur

plainly manifest. She has improved every

EXECUTIVE MANSION,

why don't we hear any more about serv-
ice pension? ! belong TO the class of 1862,
who received only 500 bounty; were paid off
in deprecated currency; served to the end of
the war; and while in the service, although
at times really sick, Stunned the hospitals,
and SO have no hospital record on which to
base claim for pension, and generally en-
JOY too good health to base disability claim;
yet / know quite a number of persons in
this immediate vicinity who never went
further than Elmira; some never even car
ried musket; served only from 80 to 60
days; are able to earn living by manual
labor, and yet are drawing pensions under
special laws. 1t seems to me that service
pension based on length of service, ire
spective of any disability, would be the
proper caper."
