End of Court.

The Circuit Court for Carroll adjourned on
Saturday last. Part of the jury were dis
charged ON the day before, and the one in the
Hoffman case WAS discharged as the case was
concluded Saturday.
The Hoffman case was suit by the execu-
tors of the late Samuel Hoffman, of New
Windsor, Mrs. Margaret W. Hoffman and
Samuel Wolfe, to recover on promissory
note executed by Theodore II. Hoffman, of
Franklin district, November l, 1898. The
note was originally for $2,975, but it bears n
credit, dated May 10, 1885, for the interest to
that date, and Sl26 on the principal 1t was
proven, also, that on that date the defendant
deposited $500 in the First National Bank of
New Windsor to the credit of Samuel Hotf-
man. On November |, 1898, Theodore III.
Hoffman executed a mortgage to Samuel Hoff-
man TO secure the note referred TO, and Janu-
airy 10, 1898, the latter executed Il release of
said mortgage. The defendant claimed that
the mortgage, who was his cousin, executed
the release upon a purpose to forgive him the
debt, of which he thus made said defendant a
gift. Testimony as to declaration of Samuel
Hoffman to that effect was submitted, but the
evidence was not convincing to the jurors, who
rendered virdict for the plaintiffs. Under
instructions of the Court the $500 deposited in
the bank on the 10th Of May, 1896, was consid-
cred as additional credit, aud damages were
assessed at 81, AIS. &c.
