Plaintiffs declaration that the alleged
cause OF action was in debt, but on the
facts stated IT should have been brought
In trespass or in trespass on
the case IL was further contended
that IL did not appear that the burning
and damage complained OF were due 10
or resulted from any wilful or negligent
act or omission Of the defendant.
Broadly the question was whether or
not an amendment 10 the charter OF the
New York. Providence & Boston Rail-
road company in 1896. making the railroad
liable in an action OF debt for damages
resulting from fires caused by it's loco
motives is binding
The railroad company claimed II dld
not appear that the New York. Providence
& Boston Railroad company accepted the
amendment. Judge Rogers writes the
opinion of the court

Early in June, 1900. Mr.. Richard Ar

Tree at the house of Louis Parker, the
dramatist, and at that time Mr.. Ar
thur suggested a play based on the
adventures of Ulysses. Mr.. Tree was
much interested in the outline and ask
ed Mr.. Arthur to submit the scenario
to him as soon as he could get 1t ready.
Accordingly the young man set to
work, and in the course of a few days
on June II, to be exact-he forwarded
the thesis to Mr.. Trees representative,
Mr.. Lionel Hart. The title of the work

A. Robes, who is unable to write,
was convicted of forgery by a jury in
Judge Melvin's court in Oakland, Cal
The forgery might be said to have
been committed by proxy, for his con-
viction rested upon the fact that he
had requested another person to sign
for him the name of John Gonzales AL
fonsio to certificate of deposit on the
Bank of Heywards for $50. Robes pre-
scented the certificate in payment for a
bill of goods amounting to $23.75 he had
purchased at the jewelry store of Paul
V. Garin at Haywards on Dec. 20, last
Showing his disabled right hand, Ro-
bles told the clerk who waited upon
him, f. A. Reed, that he was unable
to indorse the certificate, and request
ed the latter to sign for him. Suppos-
ing Robes to be the man whose name
was on the certificate, Reed Endorsed
the document for his customer. Robes
then affixed cross above the name
to indicate that it was his signature.
The forgery was discovered when the
certificate was presented to the bank
for payment. Robes was then arrest
ed on a charge of forgery.
