Suit OF "a Commission Agent Agains
Dealers In Real Estate.

4 extra large panel OF Jurors present. The
! court announced that the Attorney Gen,
/ erals docket of cases would DO postponed
I for two weeks.
The first case tried was that of Nicholas
McCloskey against the Town Treasurer
OF Lincoln for 5000 damages, for injuries
received on the John street
bridge, over the Blackstone river
in 1892. The plaintiff claims that certain
repairs were made on the bridge and
some lumber hax been carelessly piled up
there, and the weather being cold
and the bridge covered with ice he slipped
on 1t and broke one of his legs and also in
lured one of his feet; that he was con-
fined to his bed as the result of these in
juries for some weeks and has not been
able to work at his trade, which is that OF
a mason, since.
After stating the case to the jury, Hugh
j. Carroll, who is counsel for The plaintiff,
asks that the jury may view the premises,
and his request is granted. The defend
ant is represented by Judge Benjamin M.
Bosworth.
The Buyers Didn't SUIT.
In the appellate division OF the Supreme
Court, the motion of the plaintiff in the
case of George LeBrano VS.. Wood Harmon
81 Co., was heard by Ma tteson, G. j., and
Justices Tillinghsst and Rogers. In
the lower court a jury found a verdict
for the defendant. This is the case
where the plaintiff claims that he
sold "a lots for the defendants in
East Arlington, but the latter refused to
convey the lots because the would be
purchasers were Italians. The plaintiff
seeks TO recover a commission of s. per
lot and defendants claim that the special
understanding was that there was to be no
sale by agents unless references offered by
the purchasers were sat isfactory to them.
In the same division of the court the
divorce suit of Jennie T.. Burgess vs..
Allen q. Burgess was tried. Mrs. Burgess
testified that she was married on Novem-
Der s, 1885, and that her husband had been
guilty of continued drunkenness and
brutal treatment.
The witness was cross examined by
Clarence A.. Aldrich, attorney for Mr..
Burgess. She testified, in answer to a
question from him, hat her name was
Jennie Lee before she married Burgess,
and that she had obtained q di-
vorce from Mr.. Lee on the grounds
of drunkenness and extreme cruelty.
The respondent denies all the allegations
made by the plaintiff, and refers to her
non-possession at times of that sweetness
ten per so essential for the happiness
of both parties in the marital state.
A type written copy OF the testimony,
in the case OF State vs.. John Nelson was
by Mr.. Hahn, counse for Nelson,
today. 1t made a formidable document.
Judge Stiuess Is still confined to his 1
home by illness.
