EIGHT YEARS IN COURT.
The Supreme Court Decides a Question
of Trespass in Webster

A rescript was handed down by the
supreme court Tuesday in the case of
Horatio n Slater VS., John Gum ct ais,
all of Webster, which has attracted wide
attention from lawyers during its eight
years of pendency before the Massachu-
setts courts. It settles the much-mooted
question of the right of persons to cross
the land of others to reach a great
| pond. The supreme court affirms the
report of William B. Harding as master
in the case, that the general public have
no right to pass and repass over private
| lands for the purpose of getting on great
ponds on which the lands border
But it qualities this in one respect
holding that, by virtue of the colonial
ordinance of 1647, in cases where there
are no convenient means of access, fish
! ermen and hunters may still cross and
recross on foot through wild lands lying
ON such ponds, for the purpose Of gain
| ing access to them, and not be guilty
of treSpass
In this particular case, as the purpose
| for which the defendants crossed and
recrossed the land of the plaintiffs in
Webster to get on the great pond of
| Chaubunagungamaug was to cut ice
something outside that ordinance, the
court holds that they are liable for tres
pass And as this suit was in equity to
aid an action at law brought by the
plaintiff for their trespass, and because
they were insolvent and unable to re-
spond in damages the equity holds it
has jurisdiction of the matter, on the
ground that the plaintiff mas not an
adequate remedy at law, and orders an
| injunction against the defendants
The litigation began in December,
1890, and the decision of Mr. Harding,
which was sustained in the rescript, was
made in 1894. an appeal being taken to
the supreme court. The court orders
"the exceptions to the masters report
overruled, judgment to be entered for
the plaintiff in the action at law and a
final decree to be entered in favor of the
plaintiff in this suit, embodying tine
terms of the injunction heretofore is
sued" The court rules that under the
circumstances disclosed, the plaintiff is
entitled to maintain his bill. The facts
found by tine master were not neces-
sarily inconsistent with finding that

JUVENILE BALL PLAYERS.

With the approach Of spring thoughts
of the coming base ball season fill the
