The case OF Victoria Bresnahan, ad-
minIstratrix on the estate OF the late
James Bresnahan OF Cumberland,
against the Lonsdale company. will go
TO a jury, the appellate court having
overruIed the defendants demurrer 10

nahan sues to recover 500 for the

him to work at a machtne where the

ed him TO have his fingers and other
parts OF one hand badly mangled and
Iacerated A further charge. aud the
most important one agelinst the com
pany. is that Bresnahan's clothing was
removed from him in the hot room
where the accident occurred and not
put on again when he was put into an
open wagon. The accident occurred
early I'm the evening and the night was

that in exposing the deceased 20 the

The rescript in the case is as follows:
I'VE do not think the declaration is
bad for duplicity. Though two distinct
causes OF action are set forth, they are
set forth in separate counts and not IN
one count, as argued by the defendant.
1T is not contended but that the nrst
count is sufficient In the event that the
court should be of the opinion that the
declaration contains two distinct
counts.
I'VE think the second count sufficl-
emily states a cause OF action. in that II
states that the defendant undertook TO
convely the testator's intestate after his
injury to his home. and neglected TO
take the proper precautions TO cover
and protect him while so doing, in con-
sequence OF which expOstre complica-
tions ensued. causing his death. If the
taking home Of the plaintiffs intestate
after his injury was a duty assumed
by the defendant corporation. the fell
low servant doctrine contended for by
the defendant does not apply.
Demurrer overruled and case re-
mitted TO the common pleas division for

Frank r. Carpenter has filed bills in
equity in the appellate division Of the
supreme court to restrain Linus L0gee
and Joseph Dixie II the state OF Con-
necticut from cutting wood on his
property pending the trial of two tres
pass suits. Mr. Carpenter has owned
for a good while some $50 acres OF
woodland on the state line near Buck
Hill. in the town of Burrillville and
he has a title thereto that runs back
into the twilight Of histcsy. For some
time parties owning land on the Con-
necticut side Of the line dividing the
two states have been in the habit OF
giving quit claim deeds OF all parts ot
the adjacent country. Mr. Carpenter
claims that parties presumably under
such deeds have entered on his land
and cut down hundreds OF cords or
wood. The respondents. he believes.
have cut wood worth some $1,000. Mr.
Carpenter. for a long time after pur
chasing the land knew but little about

worth but little save as a producer o.
wood. and that the heavier wood was
being cut. and the younger trees ruth
