Two civil cases with witnesses were
heard. Eliza A, Chapman v Ada A. Buss
was some kind OF an action In which was
involved the construction OF certain deeds
and the kind OF title the plaintiff had to
certain land at Springfield. The counsel
for plaintiff was not quite sure just what
the legal status OF his case was, and in an.
swer to question Of the court said he on
ly claimed to have right of way over the
strip Of land involved in the suit There
upon the court said the defendant should
have judgment. Then the counsel conclud-
ed something was wrong and took advise
as to the best way to come out right side
up. A motion was made that the court
allow the plaintiff to enter non suit that
he might try it over again, but it was
overruled and the case goes up on excep-
tions.
Woodstock Burying Ground Associa-
tion John w. Hagar. This was an ac-
tion to recover the cost OF grading, filling
and improving burying lot. In 1865, a
lot was set out to the defendant and the
corner OF the land where the lot was To-
Gated was much lower than the OF her parts
OF the ground. The owners OF the ada
cent lots filed up their respective lots, but
this lot OF defendants was left in its origi-
nal depressed condition; it became hole
aud was the dumping place OF trimmings
OF bushes, earth, moved grass, ETC., and
became and was an unsightly nuisance, of
fensive to all who were interested in per-
beloved dead. The defendant was repeat
eddy asked to fill up and improve his lot,
or give 1t up and take back his money. He
would do neither. So the society did it
for him and asked him to pay for doing 1t.
This he also refused to do, ana this action
was brought. Ii was case that morally
the plaintiff should recover in, but on the
actions as brought, the court was COM
PEELED in deciding the case legally, to rem
der judgment for defendant to recover his
costs. The case goes to the supreme court.
