The January term of the supreme court
in Hancock county has been one Of the
shortest on record. There has been but
one jury trial. The jury was excused
Tuesday. Court will adjourn this after
noon until next Wednesday, when there
will be hearing.
The case OF George r. Campbell, OF
Ellsworth, VS.. the Chase Granite Co., OF
BluehilI, for personal damages to the
minor son OF plaintiff went on trial
Thursday. The case, as already been re-
ported, came back from law court with
verdict Of $500 for plaintiff, set aside on
the ground that tie jury had been un-
duly influenced.
The re-trial of the case occupied three
days. The evidence was practically the
same as that brought out at the trial OF
the case last January.
In April, 1896, two boys of Mr.. Camp
bell-George, aged seven, and Arthur,
aged flve-were struck by a team owned
by the defendants and driven by Frank
Maddocks, of Bluehil. Arthur's thigh
was broken, and George was badly
bruised. Frhe accident happened near
the western end OF the Main street bridge,
and at the time the steam road-roller was
worKing there.
The case went to the jury Saturday
noon. AT $50 a verdict of $3.50 for plain
tiff was returned.
This was the only case tried during the
present term. Quite a number of cases
have been disposed of, and a few divorces
have been decreed.
