Wednesday night and sealed up their yer.
dict which upon being delivered in court
was found to be for defendant to recover
hts costs. The jury failed to find that fht
plaintiff had made any fraudulent mis-
repre- presentations. There was another civil
case ready for trial, but it was said a Grim
inal case would tie for trial Friday morn
ing, namely, State Fred Austin, case
OF ''adeltro" from Rochester This IS an
old indictment. On consulting the speci-
fications and the principal witness, States
Attorney Sargent found an irreconci'ahle
discrepancy. or ething worse. Ii was
necessary to am nd the specifications by
setting up q different date when the
little episode was said to have occurred.
AS the defendants counsel, M. Nj. Wilson
and R M. Harvey, were prepared to meet
the date specified, they sought contln-
uance because, as they well suggested, in
regard to the new date set up they might
be able TO tabliHh an ssalibi," or an sim
possible physicalibus," as the old author
titles put it. Anyway the case was con-
tinued aud Rochester need not come to
court until June next, when i will not be
so cold riding.

r. Jenne. This was an action to recover
a statutory penalty OF IS per month for
having part OF a building In the public
highway and not removing it. certain
highway was laid out In the plaintiffs
town, and thereafter defendants built 9
house which the selectmen informed MIR.
Jenne was In the highway. JENNIE paid
no attention to the intimation but kept
on building in defiance thereof. This
made the town mad and this action was

is outside the limits OF the highway. Sur
veyors on both sides testified respectively,
setting the house a little into the road or
wholly outside OF it, depending upon
which side called the surveyor.
