NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Appellate Court Finds Some Errors
in Jury's Verdict.
Latest Phas: In Long Drawn Out Case OF
Henry VS.. Jenckes ct al.

The following rescript was handed
down by the Appellate Court this morn
ing in the cases of James Il. Henry VS..
John Jenckes, ct al and George Van
Dyke, ct al.
"There Is MOI sing in the evidence to
show tuet either Of the Plaintiffs had any
thing to do witt the preparation OF the
deed containing the covenant ON which
these suits sre brought. On the con-
trary, they both testify that tins deed was
net prepared by them or their direction,
and that the trst time they saw 1t was at-
ter it was executed and was reldg for de-
livery to them In Boston, when the tran
saction was consumated. The testimony
shows the deed for tho fret time in the
hands of william q. X. Mowry, who acted
as the agent of the defendants in the ne
gotiations which led up to the sale and
conveyance of the land. In the absence
Of any positive evidence in relation to The
making of the deed we think that II is a
fair presumption that he. as the agent
of the defendants had the dead prepared,
the usual practice being for the grsnters
TO attend to the preparation Of deed. Ii
is our opinion, therefore, that the charge
tnat the deed was obtained by the plain
,iff by fraud fails, snc that the verdict
| is against the evidence.
"Plsintifi's petition for new trial on
that ground is granted.
"We think the common pleas division
erred in admitting the testimony OF the
defendant Jencks ss 10 what William u.
| II. Mowry, on bis return from Boston,
| told him be was instructed by the plain
tins to say to him with reference To the
change in the terms Of the proposition
for the purchase of the land by reason oi
detects in tue title, there being nothing
in the testimony to show that Mowry had
been constituted the agent Of the plain
tiYs for that purpose.
"1he cnses are remitted to the common
pleas division for further proceedings"
The plaintiffs began suit agsinst the
defendants to recover under the cover
nants in certain deeds transferring lant
in New HamI shire to them. The jury IL
the trial OF the case in the common plea
division of the court gave verdict 10
the defendants.

AFTER THIRTY YEARS
Mrs. Thornton Brings Suit for In.
juries Received.
Was Hurt In the Social Mill al Woon'
socket When 9 Years Old.

Mrs. Abner J. Thornton and her bus
bard asked the Appellate Court this
morning through her attorney Joseph
Osfield, Jr., to decide a very interesting
case. Mrs. Thornton, when nine years
old was injured in a mill owned by the
Social Manufacturing Company 30 badly
that one Of her legs had TO be amputated.
This occurred some 80 years ago and be-
fore she came or age she married and on
the 30th of last January her husband
oined with her in a suit to recover S20,'
600 damages for the injuries received.
Samuel Ames on tehalf of the defend.
ant corporation nled as plea in bar OF
the action the statute of limitations and
to this demurrer was filed and after
wards counsel for both sides agreed that
the court might decide the question
directly whether or not the statute OF
limitations does apply to the case. The
case was submitted on briefs. The de-
fendsnt's counsel maintained that one
disability can not oe added to another,
that is that the advantages OF infancy at
the time Of the accident and of coverture
or marriage afterwards.
Attorney Osfield In his brief made ths
| following points: first, that the right o.
action would not accrue until she became
of age; second that marrying before sh'
| attained her majority created anothe
statutory impeachment; third that thor'
being no intervening time between he
infancy and coverture, whereby the sta
tute could attach, and began to run, sh'
would have until the death OF her hus
band, or divorce from him, or repeal o
the statute making coverture disa bility
or until she obtained his consent t.
bring the suit.

Financial

New York, Nov. S-The Evening Posts London financial cablegram says:
 The stock markets were quiet and ir- regular today. Consols were firm be- cause of easier rates and shortness of stocks. Contangoes on mines are about the same as at the previous settlement Kaffirs were weak. Australians were good. The general settlement to begin tomorrow will probably be smaller af- fair with slightly easier money. Gold is in strong demand for the continent. h. dia is also buying moderately, but at present not on chance operations but the usual demand of the bazaar. Ameri- cans opened steadier on the rise in Americans, sold slow and feeble pur- chases here, then New York began to decline and they closed flat. A few more such days would probably entirely exhause the patience of such few bulls as exist here. Grand Trunks were strong on reports that negotiations are progressing favorably for an outlet over the Wabash system over the loop line of the Great Western company and via the New York, Ontario and Western to New York.
 The Paris and Berlin markets were firm. I am assured on reliable authority that the Reisch bank may make no fur ther change in the rate this year.
