week shows a slight advance and taking
it all in all it looks as if we had had con-
siderable investment demand. Foreigners
have taken interest and their purchases
for future delivery have been on very
large scale. returns from harvesting
districts show far better than was antici-
pated, both to quality and to quantity.
1t is evident in minds that quality of
this wheat is going to be very attractive
for the foreigners. ClearanceS for the
week have been large. Corn has had
varied and checkered career during the
past week. Heat and drouth stories
which have been circulated during the
week caused rather wide fluctuations. We
think on any further decline corn should
be bought.

report is going to be very bullish on corn
and bearish on wheat.

ing of wheat all morning.

FOR A NEW TRIAL.
Arguments Made in Case of Butter
field Against Barbour.
efendant Claims He Should Not Be Com
PEELED to Pay a Judgment.

The defendants petition for a new
trial in the case OF George w. Butterfleld
VS.. Andrew j. Barbour, was heard by the
Appellate Court today. The plaintiff
claims that the defendant made false
representations TO him, knowing them TO
be false and this induced him To give a
note to one William NJ. Murphy, con-
tractor. Mr.. Butterfield is a collector
and he received a claim from NJ urphy
against Barbour shortly after which no
had AN interview with Barbous. The
latter said he could not pay the claim but
was the owner OF house and land and
had a claim against the city of Proyi-
dencc for sl5 600 which he expected would
be soon settled and on this account de-
sired an extension of time. The plaintiff
interviewed Murphy but the latter would
not grant the extension and then plaintiff
took the defendants note for Sl64, the
amount due Murphy, and paid the latter's
claim.
The term OF the note expired, but the
money was not then paid nor has IL since
been paid A jury in the Common Pleas
division in December last gave plaintiff
Judgment for his claim against Barbour.
In his petition for new trial the de-
fendant through his attorney, George A.
Littlefield, claims that in order TO sus-
tain the present action which is one for
deceit, there must be misrepresentation
of material facts relating To the past or
present and not to the future, made by
the defendant, for the purpose of inducing
the plaintiff To take the note. Also that
the plaintiff as a prudent man had
right to rely on such statements and had
no means Of detecting any fraud that
might be practi ced and that the plaintiff
did rely ON the representations and was
ijured thereby, Mr.. Littleield asked
that Judgment be entered for the defend
ant, or at least new trial ordered.
Attorney II. II. Mulholland, counsel for
the plaintiff, maintained in opposing the
petition for "A new trial, that the only
question In the case was whether the
defendant had intended to and did in fact
deceive the plaintiff as TO the representa-
tions of his ability To pay the note
within si. months.

The Purpose of Certi0rari is
Clearly Stated.
II Is Not Intended TO Review Any
Findings OF Fact.
Petitioner Claims He Was illegally Dis.
missed From Police Force.

The decision of the court on the applica-
tion for "a writ of certiorari in the case of
John O'Brien VS.. the Mayor and Alder
men of Pawtucket is as follows: "Per
curiam the petitioner alleges that the re-
spondents permitted hearsay testimony to
be- introduced at the trial of the charges of
misconduct preferred against him in his
capacity as police officer of the city Of
Pawtucket and he therefore alleges that
the proceeding against him was illegal
and prays that it may be quashed.
." The return to the writ, which has been
issued, shows that the charges were duly
preferred in writing that they were first
investigated by the committee on police
and licenses, of the Board of Aldermen,
which committee reported that said
charges and the evidence thereof were of
character which called for an investiga-
tion 10y the entire Board, and thereupon
the matter was duly referred to said
Board. 1t also appears that. after due
notice of said charges ana of the time and
place fixed for the hearing thereof. trial
was had; that sworn testimony was ad-
duced on both sides, the petitioner being
present with counsel, and that the Board
of Aldermen after said hearing duly ad-
Judged that said charges were proved,
and thereupon voted that he he dis
missed from Office. And while IL does ap-
pear from said return that hearsay tcsti-
mony was introduced against the protest
of the petitioner, yet IL also appears that
other testimony was offered so that, even
admitting the hcarsay testimony was not
legally admissible, as 1t clearly was not,
yet IL does appear from the record that
competent testimony was introduced.
Moreover rs this court has repeatedly held
the purpose of certiogari is to correct
errors of law. and not To review findings
of facts. And therefore, even IL the evil
dence submitted was before us, which it
is not, we could not review tho same, no
question Of jurisdiction being raised. IL
is to be- presumed, therefore, that the evil
dencc offered in support of the charges
preferred was sufficient to warrant the
action of the Board of Aldermen In dis
charging the petitioner. And as said Board
had full jurisdiction in the premises this
court cannot review their action.
1.-The writ is therefore quashed.
The petitioner was "a short time ago
dismissed from the police force of Paw
tucket for going into licensed liquor
saloon without having business therein.
He claimed he went into the saloon to
notify the proprietor that the door had
been left open and denied that he drank
liquor therein. The hearsay testimony
was to the effect that the clerk I'm the
saloon told some one that O'Brien had
asked him to swear that he refused 30
take liquor The clerk swore that o Brien
did not drink in the saloon.
