WEDNESDAY,, Oct. 81.
Harriet P. Ellis, petitioner VS.. Inhabi-
tants of Winslow. c. F. johnson for petit
toner, L. G. Corn sh for defendants. This
is petition brought under the statute
against the defendants to recover damages
to her house and lot in Winslow by reason
of the alleged raising of the road in front
of her premises. The premises are situated
on the west side of the road leading from
WinsIow village to Waterville, and about
half way from the Sebasticook bridge to
Ticonic bridge. She says her house was
built in 1878, the sill being placed three feet
above the center of travel of the road, but
that the town has from time to time raised
the street so that now the sidewalk is about
13 inches lower than the street and the
sill of the house but four inches above the
center of the road; that this allows the
water to flow onto her lot, and otherwise in
jures the premises. 1t was decided to give
the jury view of the premises, and in
order that they might fully understand
the claims of both parties, counsel
for the defendants opened their case. They
deny in the first place that the petitioner
has suffered any damage from their acts.
They admit raising the road about lime
inches in the centre, last fall, but none at
the sides, simply turnpiking it up and prop
erly draining so as not to injure adjoining
premises. They claim that if they did any
filling before that time, it was more than
year previous to the bringing of this petit
ton, and therefore, the plaintiff under the
statute, cannot recover if she was damaged.
They deny that the plaintiff has been in any
way injured. The jury went to Winslow
in charge of Sheriff Norton at noon, and
returned at 8 o'clock, and counsel for
plaintiff proceeded with the testimony,
which was nearly concluded when court
adjourned at o'clock.
