F. Reid, commanding the Third brig
ade of the India imperial service
troops in China, who is now at Shan
Hai-Kwan, sent a company of Pun
jab infantry to dispense band of

bers, more than a thousand strong,
attacked the Indian troops, killing

Law Court Decision.

Tileston Wadlin, Esq, Clerk of Courts,
has received from the Law Court the GER
tificate of opinion in the Waldo County case
Geo. W. Partridge, appellant from the de-
cree of the Court of Insolvency, VS.. Arthur
Boyd, assignee of Hosea B. Littlefield. The
Insolvency Court disallowed claim of the
appellant for $1,000 against the ins solvent
estate and appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court. The appeal was sustained and the
case was remanded to the Insolvency Court,
to which the assignee filed exceptions. The
Law Court overrules the exceptions. The
following rescript explains the leading
points of the case:
''A mortgage given to secure prior debt,
at time when the debtor was in fact insol-
vent, and the creditor had reason to so be-
lieve, does not constitute a preference under
the insolvency act, R. s. ch. 70, sec. %,
unless it was recorded at least three months
prior to the commencement OF insolvency
proceedings. Such mortgage, not thus re-
corded, being invalid as against the as
signee, the creditor is not obliged to cancel
it upon the record, or otherwise, before
proving his debt in the court of insolvency.
The fact that the assignee brought bill in
equity to procure a cancellation of the
mortgage, and obtained degree therefor,
does make such cancellation a condition
precedent to proving the creditors claim
If the assignee desires such decree enfOrc
ed, he should proceed in the equity suit"

Knox County's Legal Troubles.

A somewhat inconvenient condition of
affairs exists in Knox county as the result
of the death in Rockland, Wednesday, of
Sheriff Ulmer. Under he law all the
deputy sheriffs go out of Office with the.
demise of the high sheriff, and this fact is
Ii kelly to cause the postponement of the,
December term of court for the county,
The sole officials now clothed with authority
who can legally perform the duties devol-
wing upon the sheriff are coroners, and some
of the best lawyers claim that the opening
of court is not within their province,
This being the case no session of court can
be held until the governor fills the vacancy.
and as seven days must elapse before the
nominees can be confirmed by the council
and assume office it is expected that the
next term will not be held until some time
in January. The matter has been submit
ted to the law court at Augusta, with the
object of ascertaining if there is any other
way out of the dilemma.

County Commissioners Court.

The December term of County Commits
siOners' Court for Waldo County opened in
the court house in Belfast, Dec. 17th The
years bills are being audited and other
routine business transacted. The matter of
greatest public interest was the petition of
Benjamin Colson and 80 others, asking for
an extension of the county road in North
port across Northport Campground and the
land Of Oscar Hills, thus making direct
county road along the shore from East
Northport to Saturday Cove. That part of
the present road between the foot of the
Campground hill near North Shore, across
the Campground to the corner of the road
near the Cobe cottage is private way, and
the petitioners asked that this be made a
county road. The petition was presented at
the August term, and a hearing was ordered
to be held at the home of Oscar Hills Nov.
18th. At that time the petitioners were
represented and there were many remOn-
strants, the latter including the town Off
GERS, many tax payers Of the town and
representatives of the Campmeeting Asso-
citation. The petitioners claimed that there
should be public highway directly across
the Campground, for the convenience of
travel to the South Shore, Temple Heights,
ETC., and that the way should not be closed
at any time, or toll collected. The remon-
strants said that the public is as well con-
vened now as by public way that the toll
is collected but one week in the year, and is
refunded to those who pass through without
stopping on the grounds; and that the
change would make an additional expense
for the town in keeping the road open and
in repair, which is now done by other par.
ties. 1t was also argued that the Commits.
soners decided that common convenience
and necessity do not require that the prayer
of the petitioners be granted" and the de-
cisiOn is entered of record at this term.
| The petition of Cyrus E. Ryder and IS
| others for a new road from the road neal
the residence of Ryder and Wingate in
| Monroe to road on the west side of SwaI
| Lake was presented at the August term
The hearing was held at the house of OTIS
| Patterson in SWanville, and while there
were many who appeared in favor of thu
petition no one opposed it. The Commits
sioners decided to locate the road as prayed
for, and awarded damages for land taken
amounting to $16674. The award is entered
of record.

The SUMMER sc HOOL.

The summer school for teachers
opeped here III the court house On
Tuesday. We have never been
very iavorably impressed with
these summer. schools, and have
always doubted whether the good
done would warrant the expendi-
ture Of large sumsof money as is
required to run them. We haven't
had the pleasure OF meeting the
gentlemen who have been sent
here to conduct the school, bat
have no doub, they are fully COM
petent and will DO their duty
tailhfu!ly as they see il; yet this
IS not all. We have noticed IN
years gone By that very few Of our
experienced teachers took any
interest in these summer schools,
and unless the present one proves
a greater success than any one We
have Dad for years we casdidIy be-
!ieve that the same amount OF
money expended among the CON-
,non schools of the county in
paying the teachers for their SER
vices and lengthening the term Of
schooI would be far more benef-
cial in IFS results.
