RESCRIPTS
Relating to Contracts and Defects in Both
Counts O! an Indictment.

The following rcscript in cases from
Somerset county have been received by
Clerk of Courts Choate.
Charles p. Whittemoro ct al vs. Edw.
N. Merrill. Resoript by Walton j. If,
in the trial Of an action, the plaintiff s
evidence is Insufficient to authorize or
Justify a verdict in his favor, the court
may properly order nonsuit. Such is
the settled law in this State.
Another fundamental rule Of law is
that, in an action upon a contract, If any
part of the contract proved varies materi-
ally from that stated in the plaintiff
declaration, it will be fatal for u contract
is an entire thing, and must be proved as
it is alleged. If joint contract with two
plaintiffs is alleged, proof of a several CON
tract with each plaintiff will not support
the action, and the plaintiff may be non
suited.
at the trial of this action in the court
below, after the plaintiffs had put in
their evidence and rested their case, the
presiding justice ruled that tho evidence
tended to show separate contract with
each plaintiff. and did not tend to show
a single contract with both plaintiffs, as
alleged in the declaration, and therefore
directed nonsuit. We have carefully OK
amincd the evidence, and we think the
ruling was correct and the nonsuit pro-
perly ordered. Exceptions overruled.
State of Maine VS.. Fred Withee Re-
script by Walton j. The defendant is ac-
cused of cheating by ia lse pretenses. 1t
appears that he and one Fred d. Moore
swapped horses; and it is alleged in the
hot hr u Mt fai
tended that his horse was sound, and that
he falsely represented that he came from
down East and was not the Andrew Hill
ton horse
The Indictment contains two counts.
We think the first count is defective in
emitting to allcge that the false pretenses
were made with view or design to effect
an exchange of horses. The statute on
which the indictment is founded declares
that "whoever designedly" and by any
false pretense" obtains from another any
money goods, or other property, shall be
deemed guilty of cheating by false pre-
tensos, and be punished therefor by fine or
Imprisonment The word 'designedly'' de-
scribes an essential element of the crime
which none of the words or phrases in the
first count Of the Indictment do or can sup
ply. In the second count in the Indictment
the word "designcdly' is properly in
serted. But there is another omission in
this count which is fatal to its validity.
II omits to state the time when the alleged
ofTonse was committed. The omission
was undoubtedly accidental, but it is none
the less fatal,
The exceptions to the overruling of the
motion in arrest of judgment are sus-
tanned, and the Judgment is arrested, and
the Indictment quashed.

Rescripts.

NcSCElQlS.
The following rescripts have been re-
ceiqed by the clerk of courts in Somerset
county, from The law court. The cases
are of more than LEGAL interest, as impor-
tant principles of law and equity were in
volycd:
Vira Il. Ridley, by Guardian, versus
Henry Ridley. On report Emery, }.
When the condition of q mortgage for
maintenance is that the mortgages shall
be supported upon the mortgaged premises
by the mortgagcr. with no mention of the
heirs, assigns, or other representatives OF
the mortgagor, such heirs are not entitled
to the possession Of the nortgaged prem
iscs against the mortgage. Plaintiff
nonsuit.
Vira Il. Ridley. by Guardian, versus
Henry Ridley. Exceptions. Emery, j,
In the case of the writ Of entry between
the same parties, the court has held that
the plaintiff was not entitled to the posses
sion of the farm upon which the hay was
cut and the defendant was at the time
of the cutting rightfully in possession.
The title to the hay therefore was not in
the plaintiff. Exceptions sustained.
Horace F.. Field VS.. Peter II. Lang
Strout. J. If the defendant was requested
by the plaintiff to purchase for him the
dover interest of the widow in lard
owned by plaintiff subject to her dover,
at a certain price, and to take the deed
in his. defendants name, and pay the
consideration therefor. and if the defend
ant in compliance with such request, and
in accordance with plaintiffs directions,
purchased the widows dover, acting and
intending to act for the plaintiff and foi
his benefit, and took the deed in his name
for the plaintiff, and paid the considera'
ton therefor, defendant did not Thereby
acquire an equitable lien upon the prem
ises to secure his advances, nor any right
to the possession of the same, or to take
any of the products OF the land, bu'
would be liable to an action OF trespas:
ouare clausum, if he entered upon tht
premises and cut grass thereon, without
consent Of plaintiff. Exceptions sustained

"Mr. Cleveland, so far as | can learn,

office holders, who would like, by such

The Tascumbia North Albanian SAYS
it is reported that the latest fad with
many of rhe society(?) girls is the wear
ing of handsome silk carriers with the
initial letter and oftentimes the FIJI
name of their sweethearts engraved on
the buckles, the latter being made Of
gold and silver, just as the girls prefer
and the salaries of the boys will admit.
We have been informed that in some in
stances as high as $500 has been paid
for a pair These must be handsome
indeed, and if worn where they could be
seen would doubtless be very much
admired. Besides this, it is stated that
the girls allow their sweethearts TO put
them on and buckle them. We don't
know that the fad has as yet reached
Tuscumbia. but such things could go on
and no one be any the wiser. The girls
mothers and the fellows who do the Civ
ing and Duckling are the only ones we
know of who are in position to know.
It would be wei! for the mothers, not
tn use Of Tuscumbia however, to examine
their daughters shoes and stockings at a
time when the latter are not suspecting
an examination, and ascertain if anything
like that is going or. We fear that the
mothers of the present day are not as
diligent and careful concerning their
daughters welfare as the mothers of a
half century ago.

HER SILVER TOILET SET.
An Amusing story of Which Bishop Potter
Is the Hero.

Is the Hero.
Here. from the New York sun, is
story about Bishop Potter, who is es-
pecially conspicuous just now by reason
of his summer summing:
Last year the Bishop vent out to
Tuxedo to confirm a class of young PEG
pie in the new church there. y young
matron who had been a member OF the
congregation of Grace church while the
Bishop was it's rector, and had been
herself confirmed and marmed by hin,
wrote and insisted that he should stop
with her during his stay at Tuxedo.
He accepted. AS particular honor
she adorned his room with an elaborate
toilet set of solid silver that included
more than a dozen pieces. The Bishop
came, confirmed the candidates, ana
went away. But the silver toilet set
could not be found. 1t was not on the
dressing table nor in the bathroom, ana
the matron's astonishnent was great.
Her ANNOYANCE was almost as great,
and for two days she wondered what
coull have become of the set and
whether the Bishop had supposed it was
present On the third day she summon
ed up courrge enough to write Ghim and
ask il by mistake his man, or one OF the
servants, had PACKED up the silver toilet
set with his luggage, and it had been
overlooked in unpackiug, etc. The
Bishop answered promptly, for the next
day she received this telegram; lam
poor, but honest. Look in the table
drawer" The young woman did look,
and the toilet set was found there. Ihr
following DAY letter arrived from the
Bishop S; ying that he had put the silver
toilet articles away, as he did not netd
ruem, and had forgotten TO speak about
it. He wrote that he travelled with a
very simple set of his own, and the
silver oarlay dazzled him so that he
wanted 10 get it out of sight
