HEARD IN COURT.
The Appellate Judges Considered
Three Cases This Morning.

The action of Joseph p. Manton
against the Chase Elevator and Manton
Windlass Company was heard today on
the defendants petition for a new trial.
The case al its trial in the lower court
resulted in verdict for Manton for
sl526.70. This suit was brought to re-
cover for services rendered by
eRoert Re to 20. dsno
in 1890. At this time 1t is claimed that
Chase Elevator Company were building
grain and coal elevators which proved
unsatisfactory and the plaintiff was en-
ployed by the company to remedy the
defects in the elevators. Manton sub
sequently consolidated with the Chase
Co., but difficulties finally arose between
the parties and Manton withdrew from
the business. The company is now in
solvent, but an injunction has been issued
by the appellate court restraining a sale
under mortgage against il. Manton has
also brought suit against the company
for use of device patented by him.
This suit Is still pending. In
regard to the verdict given in the lower
court for services render by Msnton, the
defendant claims that the plaintiffs SER
vices were entirely gratuitous and were
also Insignificant in character. The petit
tion for new trial was argued and held
for adgisement. +. s. Hopkins appears
for the plaintiff, and s. o. Edwards for
the defendant.
The petition OF Charles c. Duffy was
heard, praying that writ OF mandamus is
sued from the Appellate Court, directing
George Z. Webster, clerk OF the com.
mon pleas division, to receive on
file the petitioners petition for q
new trial in his action against
the city treasurer Of Providence. The
ground for new trial Is that one OF the
jurors who determined the case was a tax
rQu aff ha cff f.f
respondents contention in refusing to re-
ceive Mr.. Duffy's petition was that it was
not properly made. The question raised
before the Appellate Court was one of
method of procedure and was held for
advisement. Basset & Mitchell appeared
for the plaintiff. The defendan: appears
pro Sc ipso.
