The continued civil docket contains
800 cases, which Is some less than the
average in recent years. That, however,
is no indication Of the length of the
term: il may be longer, II may be
shorter.
One Of the peculiar features Of this
term is the number OF damage suits on
the docket which may come 10 trial.
Suits for damages are as rule OF more
interest to spectators than the average
of trials. or those which are now on
hand, one Is the case of Wardwell VS..
Robinson Manufacturing Co., the Oxford
fowage case, which occupied the time
Of the court for week last May, result
ing in disagreement OF the jury. There
is possibility that it may take up y
week Of this term, but the latest word
in regard to il is that on account OF h"
| illness of one of the counsel it will not
b. tried this term.
Another case that Is among the posi-
bilities Is that of Rose vs.. Philbrook, for
| injuries sustained az the result OF cave
in during the erection of the county
buildings.
The suits of Wendell +. Wheeler an:
Newton c. Moore VS.. w. +. Austin are
undertood To be for trial this term.
These are for injuries sustained by
Wheeler and Moore as the result OF a
cave-in while digging trenches for the
steam pipes in the Norway streets.
II Ia understood that suit will BE-
emf, r,d at this term resulting from he
giving way of the dam at Canton and
The consequent damage done by the
freshet OF last March.
| Quite An amount Of criminal business
will come before the court. Eight of the
prisoners now in jail are awaiting the
action Of the grand jury. Fred Burt Is
held on charge Of adultery; the other
party, Mrs. Eva Wentworth, is out or
bail. Frank Walker and Henry Wood
are held for breaking and entering and
larceny; Fabier Willett as common sell
er; Fred Tulip and Henry w. b. Dawes
for larceny; Edward Fitzgerald for as.
sault and battery; Frank Ellegood fol
