LAW COURT DECISION.

The long contested case of John +.
Proctor versus Maine Central Railroad
has just been decided by the law court
as to some of the most important
points at least. This matter was ar
gued before the law court three years
ago. The decision has been delayed by
the deaths of Judge Haskell and Judge
Fogler to whom the case was assigned.
The opinion was written by Judge Saw
age. Proctor sued to obtain posses
sion of certain lot of flats on Fore
river occupied by the Maine Central
tracks. Proctor claimed these flats
under quit claim deeds from the heirs
Of Asa Clapp. These deeds to Proctor
purported to convey two tracts, one in
Guided in what was known as the Deb
orah Mills grant, and the other includ-
ed in what was known as the Duene-
ven grant made under the Colonial Or
dinances of 1G41-7 and laid out under
the Province of Massachusetts Act OF
Assembly passed in Ills. The court
holds that Proctor has the better title
to the Deborah Mills tract, but does
not sustain his claim to the DueneVen
The total frontage of the flats IN con-
troversy is 100 feet, the Deborah Mllls
lot of upland being go acres ana the
Dueneven tract 10 acres, Proctor's utle
is sustained as to the flats, adjoining
the 90 acre tract, subject, however, TO
:: further trial of the question OF the
Maine CentraTs rights under adverse
possession which latter question VIII De
determined probably at the octoper
term. The flats in question are at the
interiection of the Cumberland ana
oxford canal and the Portland q Os-
denburg location and are very valu-
able. Charles P. Mattocks and W. r.
