is SET ASIDE
Appellate Court Finds Many
Faults In Jury's Verdict.

The appellate division OF the suprem,
given by Newport county jury In the
case OF George w. Cory vs. Abby b
Cook. Plaintiff is the son-in-law OF the
defendant and the suit was based on a
promissory note given by her to him on
Sept 3Oth, 1897, for the sum OF s669 with
interest at the rate OF five per cent.
An account in set off filed by the de-
| fendant is for board. clothing, care,
| schooling, etc, furnished TO the plaintiff S
! minor daughter. The plaintiff had volun-
1 tarily abandoned his wife and children
and had left them with the defendant be-
fore the time when the account In set off
commenced to run: that Is, before any
OF the articles mentioned In the account
were furnished.
The amount OF the note and interest TO
April H. 1902, when the verdict was rem
dered was sS21.10 and the claim In set off
II fully allowed amounted to $716.04.
Plaintiff petitioned for new trial on the
grounds Of error In the ruling OF the pre-
siding justice, that there was manifest
error In the part OF the jury computing
the amount OF the note and also that the
verdict was against the law and the ev-
idence.
The jury, the appellate court says, IL Is
apparent made an error of $33 9S in COM
putting interest. The court does not think
that the jury was warranted In allow
'ng the account in set of In full as II
did.
Some of the evidence is uncontradicted
that the mother OF the minor child fur
nished some OF the articles mentioned In
the grandmother's account and charged
by the Jury TO the plaintiff. Another
point made was that the defendants hus-
band furnished the money for the arti-
cles bought for and the board of the
minor child OF plaintiff. Speaking on this
latter point, Judge Tillinghast says: I'm
the absence of any evidence to the effect
that the defendant furnished said board
out OF her own estate or that her husband
furnished IL with the understanding that
che was to receive the pay. therefore, we
think the plaintiffs point Is well taken"
The minor daughter was sent to a COM
mercial school In Fall River and for this
her grand mother made a claim OF ex-
pense amounting to sS4. The fathers
counsel said that the public school edu-
cation was sufficient and the cost In the
opinion handed down today does not sus-
tain the contention.
Before leaving his family plaintiff gave
his wife and children mortgage on some
real estate from which she realized some
N,sOo He claims the mortgage was given
her for her support and that OF her chill
dren. III there was no consideration for
the transfer OF the mortgage save the
one named. plaintiff at the next trial. II
he proves tho fact, as he neglected to do
at the last trial, can be no longer troubled
by any claim In set-off by the defendants.
The court holds that IL goes without
saying that IL he provided for the educa-
ton and support OF his children the de-
fendant can have no claim against him.
