sUPERSUNERARY.
Ernest VI. Walker. Bethel.
There was good attendance Of the
oxford County lawyers, and several
from other counties, Including Judge
Savage OF Auburn. Msvor Noble Of
Lewiston. Hon. 4 H. Walker and T.. c.
Walker of Bridgton and W. VI. Bradley
Of Portland.
The call Of the docket resulted in a
trial list OF about dozen csses-a very
short list. aud one that subsequently,
melted away quite rapidly.
The only special interest aroused by
the forenoon proceedings was In the dis
cussion OF a trial Of the oxford flowage
case. The plaintiff. represented bv Mr..
Noble. wanted trial this term. The
defendant company, represented by Mr..
Swssey, wished the case continued on
account OF the illness Of Mr.. Cook of the
law firm of Symouds, Snow n Cook. IL
WAS MIR. Cooks pet ease, and thew did
not wish 70 try Il without him. Judge
Walton inquired into the nature Of the
case. and after finding out about IL AMI
examining the statute relating 10 such
actions, he told the counsel that II seem
ID 20 him the best thing 10 do with the
case was 20 refer IL. After some discus
sion il was proposed 10 refer the case 10
Judge Walton, and though he At first
refused, the case was finally referred 10
him. so the most cumbersome case of
the list goes of the trial docket.
The cases of Newton &. Moore and
". T. Wheeler against W. T.. Austinlof
Norway for Injuries received by cave
In Of the trench In the Norway streets,
were assigned for Wednesday morning.
The parties and their witnesses were on
hand, but before the time came 10 pro-
coed. the ca SEES were settled out of court.
And thus the trial docket WAS again con-
siderably lightened.
