HIGH-HANDED WORK.
Riley Captured Burroughs Team
ami Load of Ssaweei.
Judge Sweetland Gave Judgm nj Against
Him For SIS and Costs.

An interesting cuse was tried before Judge
Sweetland this morning in the Sixth District
Court. 10 was that of g. A. Burroughs against
j. u. Riley in AN action of trespass.
on the 10th of October last Mr.. Burroughs
went TO the beach at Warwick 10 get some
seaweed at low tide as he has been accus-
toned to do for 20 years and more. This shor
adjoins land leased by Riley, who, il seems,
went down and Informed Burroughs that he
must pay - cents n load for that seaweed.
Burroughs said he guessed not Hot words
followed, and in the meantime Burroughs had
started home with his load. As he came near
Rileys barn force Of five or six men came
out and Riley Informed him that he could not
go any further with that load unless he paid
for 1t. Burroughs warned thom against
touching his horse or wagon, but the little
band took tho whole outfit captive aud put it
in Riley's barn. Burroughs went home and
the horse and wagon were returned to him
next morning.
The plaintiff claimed that he had been ille-
galy det aimed on the highway and wrongful
ly deprived of his property.
The defendant claimed that the seaweed
was his property and that he had n right TO
recover with whatever force was necessary,
but he failed TO show that he owned the sea
weed. and the judge decided that he had
taken the law in very high-handed manner.
The seaweod was in public domain and Riley
had no claim on IT, so his action was without
foundation.
The actual damages were nominal, but for
his high-handed manner of the procedure the
court gave renalty of SIS and costs Arthur
Gushing for planiif.
