The arguments in the case of Orola

tonic Canot, quarryman at West Dunn
merston, which was tried before Justice
D. II. Mortified Monday, were made Tues
day by Z. &. Fits and G. B. Hit, the
former for Chivile and the latter for
Canot. This was an action for debt to
recover an unsatsfied judgment of 500
which judgment was obtained in the po-
lice court at Fitchburg. The defence was
plea of null tiel record alleging that Canot
lived in Vermont when the suit was brought
and that no personal service was had upon
him and that therefore the judgment was
against the money only and was not bind
ing upon Canot.
