The case of Adelbert Needham against
Mr.. Berrows of Hartford came up before
Judge Parkess last Friday. The finding
was for the plaintiff, and Attorney Holder
Of Bristol, who appeared for the defend
ant, took an appeal to the superior court
The case resulted from a horse trad,
made at Hartford, In which Mr.. Needhan
traded horse and slot the defendan
fol another horse. Mr.. Needham hat
the $40 with him and turned that In, bu
the horse was at his stable here, and
was agreed that the shift should be mad
In Rockville. The plaintiff sent his hors
to Rockville, and Mr.. Barrows drove ri
alongside and looked it over. Withou
giving any reason or acting pleasant, Bar
rows drove his horse away. He did no
even return the boot money. Mr.. Need
ham does not mind the $10, but the onl,
inference to be drawn from the defend
ants attitude is silent but chilly criticisn
of the horse. This grieves our loca
horse dealer, as the animal is one that b.
values highly, and he brings suit for $1
through his attorney, j. q. Reed.
