PLAINTIFFS EXCEPTIONS.

The exceptions OF plaintiff in the case
Brayton ct. al to the ruling OF the
Eighth district court sustaining demurrers
have been overruled by the appellate
court This is an action OF trespass on
the case for interference with a right OF
way.
The cause OF action alleged is the erec-
tion OF a fence by Peleg A. Walton and
the continuance OF the fence and erection
OF other mpediments by Frederick +.
Brayton. who bought the land Of Walton.
The last named having died. this action
Is brought against his administrator and
Brayton. Defendants severally demurJed
on the ground that they were improperly
Joined and the administrator demurred
also on the ground that there Is no al
legation that the claim was presented 10
him according 10 law before suit was
brought The district court sustained tho
eemurrers and the plaintiff has excepted
to its rulings.

fore he owned the land, and the intestatc
is hot responsible for damages caused by
the action OF the present owner unless he
cony eyed tho land with covenants of war
ianty, which the declaration does not al
lege. The claim against tho intestate for
the erection OF the fence survived under
the statute. but IL should have been pre-
Fsnted to his administrator before suit.

or several, on which the plaintiff intends

state vs. Daniel y. Tourgee in arrest OF
Judgment. Defendant was indicted for
uniawfully and carnally knowing and
abusing OF Adaline r. rourgee. she being
girl under the age OF l6 years. A Jury
found defendant guilty.
A motion In arrest OF Judgment. based
upon the ground that the indictment did
not allege that the act charged was fe-
loniously done. was made by counsel for
the defendant Judge Tillinghast writes
the opinion Of the court, in tho course of
which he says:
We think the motion should be over
ruled The offence charged is one cre-
eted by statute and the language used
IN the indictment Is such as 10 fully and
explicitly set out all OF the essential ele
ments OF said offence: and no claim is or
could be made that the defendant was
not fully Informed OF the natural cause
OF tne accuse ton against him.
Under such circumstances the court is
not bound by tbs purely technical rule
relied on by the defendant IL is ordi-
narfly SUFFICIENT IN charging statutory Of
fences TO follow substantially tho Ian
guage OF the statute. and that has clearly
been done In this Indictment"
