FROM THE LAW COURT.

The following rescript was received
yesterday from the law court:
Kennebec, SIS.
The Biddle & Smart Co. VS.. r. Z.
Durham and trustees. A. G. Stilphen,
claimant.
Rescript, Wiswell. J.-For Judgment
III one suit to operate as bar in anoth-
er, the estoppel must be mutual.
One party to suit will not be estop-
ped by Judgment in former suit I'M
less the other party would have estopped
by the same Judgment if it had been adj
verse to him.
In the former action, the Judgment in
which is relied upon by the plaintiff in
this suit as an estoppel, 1t appeared that
the principal defendant held an insur-
ance policy against fire in each of the two
insurance companies as trustees; that
by fire, and that the principal defendants
claim under each policy had been as
signed absolutely to the claimant.
This court held in that case that the
assignments to the claimant were fraud
ulent and void as to the general creditors
of the principal defendant, and ordered
the trustees charged for thu full amounts
in their hands, to the extent of the
plaintiffs claim.
The issue upon the validity of the as
signments was the same in the former
case as in this, but the present plaintiff
and the plaintiff In the former suit Aare
wholly independent and separate creditors
of the principal defendant, who is the
same in both cases.
Held, that the claimant to the funds
in the trustees hands is not estopped by
the Judgment in the former suit.
Exceptions sustained.

TO THE ISLAND BELLE.

The steamer Island Belle in returning
from Peaks island Tuesday evening met
with slight mishap that will lay her
off for Jew days. Manager Temple
has engaged one of the Falmouth Fore
side boats, however, SO the service is I'M
interrupted.
1t was very foggy when the steamer
came up and the tide was running in
very strongly. In endeavoring to keep
clear of the dredges, which occupy a good
part of the channel and make 1T hard
for che boats to navigate on clear nights,
the Belle got in little too near shore
and bumped into the brig Jennie Hull
bert which was lying off the end of the
Grand Trunk wharves. The brig was
damaged slightly and the stem and pilot
house on the steamer were broken. She
went on the railway this morning and
will be repaired speedily. Insurance
covers the loss.

Our little girls humor commenced with
