Pcnnell, VS.. Card ct ais. Rescript by
Whitehouse, J.
The personal statement of one of the
county commissioners that the board
supposed they We're assessing full dam
ages for crossing the land described in
the petition is manifestly inadmissi-
bic in form and incompetent in sub
stance and cannot be received as evil
denCe to control or modify the record
Of their Judgment. Nor does the repre-
scntation contained in the plaintiffs
petition, that he was the owner of the
land therein described, have any nee
essary tendency to show that the COM
miSSionerS awarded full damages to
him as sole owner Of the lot Whether
or not the petitioner is the owner of
the land described, and the extent of
his ownership, are questions Of fact to
be determined by the commissioners.
Title to the land constitutes the found
alton of the claim for damages.
The written application was signed
by the plaintiff, Enoch +. Pencil. 1t
was not signed by Abbie f. Pennell.
The case fails to show that she ever
made any written application to have
her damages assessed, and therefore
fails to show that the county commits
sioners had any jurisdiction or authori-
~ to estimate any damages she may
have sustained. In the record of their
judgment upon the petition of Enoch +.
Pencil, the commissioners "adjudge
and determine that the aforesaid pc
titioncr is entitled to damages in the
sum Of 1892" There is no legal evil
! dence in the case that they awarded
damages on account of any interest in
the land owned by Abbie f. Pencil.
IN the absence of any evidence to the
contrary, they will be presumed, in any
collateral inquiry, to have discharged
the duty imposed upon them by law to
determine the fundamental question of
ownership.
The other obstacles interposed by
the defendants to the maintenance of
this action are effectually removed by
the opinion Of the court in Hunt v.

whose acquaintance he had cultivated
al the shore. The fish came by express,
and was tied up in canvas. The law
yer placed it in his roll-top desk
which he closed and then went out to
keep an appointment.
He did not return to his office that
afternoon, and the next day business
called him to New York. and he forgot
all about the fish which he had intend
ed sending out to his home He re-
turned from New York suffering from
a severe cold, which confined him to
the house for several days, although
he was in constant communication
with his Office by telephone
On the fourth day he was told that a
strange, penetrating and decidedly Of

and that 1t seemed to come from his
closed desk. II was not until then that
the lawyer thought OF the fish. An of
