of 1854 for the plaintiff.
The court then. took up the case Of

aud Dora G. Mason. This Is an action
of trespass to recover for the breaking
and entering and occupancy of house
at Deering Centre, which the plaintiff.
through her agent, Mr.. Ling, claims they

say they were told by Mr.. Charles p
Dalton of Deering that he was agent and
had authority to let the house. which
he in fact did, which Mr.. Dalton denies
and they further say that as soon as the '
found out they were trespassers thev
at once made arrangements to move. and
that on offering Mr.. Ling payment for
their occupancy he told them there was
nothing to pay as they had only occupied
it few days and had been put to great
deal of trouble, and that it is too late To
come in and claim rent and damage.
The arguments were compIeted last
night and the case will go to the iurv
