SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
The following decisions and rescripts were
received yesterday from the Law Court:
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.

The following decisions and rescripts were
received yesterday from the Law Court:
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
George Hazen VS.. Elbridge Wight.
Rescript by Walton, J.-This Is an action
of trespass quare clausum fregit for cutting
and carrying away wood and tiIhher. Inc
defendant justihes under the authority OF
one sarah P. Wight. He says that she
owned an undivided half of the. land on
which the wood and timber were cut, as
a tenant in common with the plaintiffs; and
that, at the time of the cutting. she was
living on the premises; and that he cut the
wood and timber under her authority and
direction, and as her agent or servant ana
he claims that these facts constitute de-
Tense to the action, that If the plaintiff mas
a cause of action against Mrs. Wight. he
has none against him.
We do not think these facts constitute a
defense to the action. tits agreed That
the notice provided for in the Revised
Statutes, chapter 90, section 3, was not CIV
en-; and, without such a notice, Mrs. wight
had no authority to cut wood OF timber up
en- the premises, and was herselfAa trespass-
.,r if she directed it TO be cut, and an action
of fresI,ass quare clausum tregit would lie
against her for SO doing. notwithstanding
she was living upon the premises at the
time and was a tenant thereof In common
with the plaintiff. And, surely, If Mrs.
Wight had ~ authority to cut wood
or timber upon the premises,
.she could confer none upon her
servant And if Mrs. Wight was trespass-
er las she undoubtedly was) in directing
the wood and timber to be cut, clearly the
defendant was also rrespasser i'll execut-
ing her command.
In this suit only single damages are
claimed; and, as the case is made up, there
is nc proof or admission of the extent of
the plaintiffs injury. Under these circum-
stances. we think he must be content with
nominal damages.
Judgment for plaintiff. Damages assessed
AT one dollar.

Office of the Secretary

oAnSo VI Gu6 secretary,
Washington. Dc, April q, 1877.
Sir. beg leave to call your atten tion
to and ask your opinion upon, the fol-
lowing questions growing out of the re-
funding act of July 18th, 1870, to wit:
Can I stipulate in the body of the four
per cent bonds about to be- issued that
they shall be redeemable in coin of the
present standard value; that is, the
standard value at the date Of their is
sue, or must it be the date of the law?
I submit statement prepared by the
Hon. H. M. French, assistant secretary,
having reference to the laws.
1t may become important to the public
interests to make the new bonds payable
in coin of the present standard, that is
gold coin. Some doubt have been ex-
pressed upon whether previous bonds
issued under acts passed prior to 1873
are not legally payable in silver coin.
This question may become important,
Is any dou BIT upon the legal terms of a
public security affects it's value.
Very respectfully,
JOHN SHERMAN,
Secretary.
