| Augusta, Dec. II.
| The civil docket was taken up, this
! morning, the first case on the list fol
trial being that of Louise f. Hunt VS.
Elijah r. Bessey. Williamson K Bur
leigh appeared for the plaintiff and
/ w. C. Philbrook and c. W. Hussey fol
the defendant. The suit is on q
| promissory note for $35 dated Sept. IS
1897, signed by the defendant and pay
able to A. Il. Snow of jackson OF
bearer Snow placed this note togeth
cr with several others, in the hands
of the Peoples National Bank of Bel
fast as collateral security for his per-
Sonal note for $500 which the bank
held for 5000 loaned to him. Snow,
who had been doing large business
in Waldo county, absconded, leaving a
large number of creditors and the
bank called upon the defendant in this
case who resides in Brooks to pay his
note. The defendant notified the bank
that he had paid the note to Snow who
had said he would get the note and
return it, but never had, and the de-
PENDANT, today, produced in court a
receipt signed by Snow showing such
payment.
The bank afterwards transferred the
note to Williamson & Burleigh for the
sole purpose of collection, it is admit
ted. and they bring the suit in the
name of Louise f. Hunt, a clerk in
the Office of the attorney, by her con-
sent.
Several questions of law arise and
after the testimony had been taken
out the case By agreement of the parties
was taken from the jury and reported
to the law court.
In the afternoon the case of Louise
f. Hunt VS.. Alvin H. Ridley was taken
up, Williamson & Burleigh appearing
for plaintiff and Philbrook & Smith for
the defendant. This is a suit on a
promissory note for $95 ana came into
the hands of the plaintiff through pre-
cisely The same channels as the note
in the previous suit and it has the
same payeeS. The defendant, who re-
sides in Monroe denies that he ever
gave such a note and claims that his
name to it is u forgery by Snow. Sew
eral legal propositions are also raised
in defence.
The arguments We're concluded at
so and court adjourned until morn
ing at o'clock.

Nix. CRUMrACKER, of Indiana, has
the honor of introducing the first bill
offered at the present session of con-
gress. 1t is an aFportionment meas
ure, and provides for an increase of
the number of representatives from
357 TO 365. Fifteen states would gain
and seven lose representatives, and as
no state wants To lose the seven will
be q unit against the bill. On the
ground that the membership is now
too large for the prompt dispatch of
business, it is probable that the ap-
Portionment bill as finally passed will
provide for an increase of the basis
of representation rather than of rep
resentatives.
