Lockwood, are all the time on the

The writer calls to mind an instance
in which such copious tears were shed
by the plaintiff, who was In weeds,
whenever the name of her late hus-
band was mentioned, that at last the
judge testify inquired, How long has
your husband been dead?"
Twelve months" was the faltering
reply
That's not true, my lord" said a
voice in court. Hes been dead seven
years"
The bereaved lady little thought that
her failure TO contradict this assertion
was probably one of the reasons why
she lost her case.
Sir Edward Clarke once told the writ

case went to him and said, II should
have liked to have given you a verdict,
Sir Edward, but the facts were too
strong"

RUBBER co. MUST DEFEND.


The Appellate Court in a decision
handed down. today has refused to
change its decision in the. case of
Joseph Banigan VS.. Woonsocket Rub
her COMPANY. The latter must de-
fend the suit brought by plaintiff on the
promissory note for $4,000. irrespective
OF it's own suit. The language Oh the
decision is as follows
After the filing of the forego ing
opinion the defendant moved for "a re-
argument, which being granted, II con-
tended that. inasmuch as a plea I'm set
off when filed relates back 10 the be-
ginning OF the action, and inasmuch as
the present action wkas begun on Aug.
e. 1898. whiit its action was not begun
until Two days later, the plea OF the
pendency OF prior suit should have
been filed in itc action, instead OF
reapplication TO the plea i'm set on in
the present suit. We do not thlng,
however Is II be conceded that the de-
fendants contention that plea In set
off relates back TO the beginning OF the
suit. that in IL is decisive. When the
plaintiff brought his action IL was open
10 the defendant O) TO file plea I'm set
off. or (2) 20 bring | Is own action
against the plaintiff. The defendant
elected to bring it's own action against
the plaintiff. The defendant elected TO
bring it's own action and TO INCLUDE in
that action the demand which IL now
seeks TO plead in set off I'm this suit.
Having thus brought its action for that
demand. IL seems TO us that IL has elect
I'd its remedy and that IL bound by
that election so long at least, as the
demand IN Included in its own action.
The words in the statute allowing set
off General Laws, X. L.. Cap. 239, Sec.
40 for which ne might maintain a suit
in his own name" clearly reply that

has no pending suit for the demand
