CLAIM NOT
SUSTAINED

Judge Douglas today handed down the
opinion OF tho appellate division OF the

Anderson VS.. William Williams. executor.
This was a suit 10 recover s4l7l5o for
work. skill, care and diligence as house
keeper? servant and nurse for the testa-
tor and the last is count for interest.
The first count IN plaintiffs declaration
alleges that defendants testator promised
ing $500. Matthew Younger Is the party
for whom the work was done. but failed
to keep the promise. the plaintiff claims.
Plaintiff sues 70 recover for services
from Feb, 1854. 10 September. 1899 The
defendant pleads specially that the plain
tiff did not fle the claims set forth In the
declaration with him nor with the probate
court OF the town Of Bristol within six
months from the date OF the defendants
first advertisement OF the notice OF his
qualification as executor.
Plaintiff declared that she. owing 70 inn
proper Instruction, filed In the probate
court only for six years service and that
having filed part OF her claim this is suf-
icient answer 10 defendants demurrer
The appellate court does not agree with
her
Judge Douglas says the questions
raised are whether claim for $500 for
services rendered will support an action
for damages for non performance OF
special promise 10 pay for services by
legacy OF more than 1880. and whether
the notice OF a claim for 1850 for scr
vices covering a longer period; or, in
other words can the plaintiff recover
upon the promise al all. and can she re-
cover upon the claim filed the full amount
Of A171 81. These questions must be an
swered In the mega tive. his honor says.
Further. II is held that while a claim
should not be barred, IL substantially
made, the court says II cannot concede
the right OF a creditor who has stated a
claim for definite sum OF money for
services rendered I'm definite time TO
sue for other services outside OF that Pc
riod. or an amount of money greater
than that originally claimed. The object
OF the statute limiting the time OF pre-
senting claims is held TO be TO facilitate
the settlement OF the estates of dec sased
persons, and 10 make all the prescribed
steps towards the distribution OF the es-
tate conclusive when they have once been
been taken.

The women, usually two, padded the

In their unceasing struggle with the

from 1000 to 900, man. woman and child.
Should this rate of decrease continue,

of the stone age of intense human in

dangerous reefs and racing tide-rips.
These tribesmen are true canoe jewellers,
siuce they Erst search for ever the
shores of otherwise barren islands for
food, in the shape of mussels, fish, sea-

American mission established itself
among them, they braved the rigour of
