Among the cases entered at the present
term Of the United States District Court
is that of George Demers VS. Frank G.
Deering, both of Saco, an action for per-
sonaI injuries received while in defen-
dant's employ. 1t is interesting from
the fact that it has already been tried in
the State Supreme Court, where Demers
recovered a verdict for 81, $50. This YER
dict was set aside by the Law Court as
being contrary to evidence. Demer's coun-
sci has availed himself of his clients

into the Federal Court. City Solicitor
