LAW COURT DECISIONS.

| An interesting and important decis-
ion with regard to the law declaring
10 hours of labor to be a legal days
work has just been handed down from
the Maine law court. The reScript,
which was drawn by Justice Emery,
was in a Franklin county case, that of
p. A. Fitzgerald VS.. the International
Paper Co. 1t was received by Clerk of
Courts Sweet of the law court in this
| city on Friday. Judgment is rendered
for the defence. The rescript is rs fol-
lows:
Under r. S.. ch. 50, sec. 43, declaring
10 hours of actual labor to be "a legal
days work, unless the contract stipu-
lates for a longer time" the stipulation
need not be expressed. nor made before
the work is began. 1t is enough if il
appears from the circumstances and
the conduct of the parties that they I'M
derstood that more than 10 hours of la
Dor was to be performed each day for
| the agreed wages per day.
When a laborer hires TO work as one
of the crew of pulp mill which to his
knowledge is run through the "A hours
with one day crew and one night crew,
alternating each week, and he works
| i'm such crew more than 10 hours each
lday, and receives weekly his per diem
pay as agreed without claiming more,
lit can be reasonably inferred that he
lagreed to work more than 10 hours
a day, and he cannot afterward re-
cover pay for the extra hours.
Judgment for the defendant
Clerk Sweet also received on Friday
la rescript drawn by Justice Emery in
la Knox county case that of Edmund
Thomas, executor, VS.. Mary +. Thomas.
The rescrirt is as follows:
When the defendant is non-resi-
dent, and only commorant in some
town in this State, and so described in
the writ return by the officer that
he attached chip as the propertX of
the defendant. and summoned the said
defendant by leaving at her last and
usual place of abode a summons for
her appearance at court" does not
show sufficient legal service.
Exceptions overruled.

DIR. Whittier DIR. Mitchell and Dr..
Young saw the patient together. 1T is
not yet safe to say that ii is not small
pox," says DIR. Young; nor is 1t yet
definitely certain that 1t Is. The line of
treatment of the disease is carried out
with the view of protecting the other
students and public from Infection, if it
is smallpox.
THE Vidal test for typhoid fever
was made with negative results, though
it Is rather too early to expect positive
results. archaeological examinations
of the throat secretions have also been
made and the result Justify the exclu-
sion of diphtheritic infection, although
there has been some soreness of the
throat.
THE eruptions are not more numer-
Gus than they were a few days ago. but
this fact does not always indicate the
absence of smallpox infection. 1t will
require some time move before COM
plete and satisfactory diagnosis can be
made.
IAN the inmates of the chapter house
have been vaccinated and every pre-
caution Is being taken in case the dis
ease is really smallpox. Mr.. White Is
