interested In the planting and marketing Of the
crops should help on their development.

Case Of SpaIght Against Hurley Before the
Appellate Court.

The much mixed affairs of John r.
Gately. formerly a stable keeper in this
city. were reviewed at length in the
briefs submitted by counsel on plaintiffs
petition for a new trial in the case OF
Michael Spaigh. against James II. Hur-
ley.
In the year. 1894, Mr.. Gately went into
the stable business and Mr. Spaight
went TO Boston with him to inspect
property TO be bought.
Mr.. Spaight declares that he guaran-
teed bills for Gately many times and
there was mortgage given him. James
III. Hurley secured mortgage OF the
property that he claims was In the place
OF other mortgages and ADVERTISED the
property for sale under the mortgage.
The present action is one Of replevin
TO recover the property In the stable that
Spaight claims became his by virtue OF
mortgage. Spaight alleges that there was
collusion between Gately and Hurley In
regard to the last mortgage given the
latter.
On the other hand II is claimed by
Hurley that Spaights dealings with
Getely were strange as Gately continued
to run the business Notwithstanding all
the claims now made by Spaight.
The case took several days to tfy In
the common pleas division and a jury
found for Hurley. II is now claimed this
verdict was against the law and the
evidence.

II Miss Koran Does Not Accept New
Trial WIN Be Had.

The following rescript was handed
down in the suit OF Margaret r. Koran
of Central Falls against her father
Patrick Koran. OF the sasne city by the
appellate court today.
The court Is unable 10 say that there
is clear preponderance OF testimony
against the finding OF the trial Judge. ex-
oept as to damages. Upon that question
the trial Justice expressed a doubt as to
the amount that should be allowed. In
view of the fact that the plaintiff had
her support from her father. including
her clothing. and that she spent year
In BUSINESS college, and that the burden
is on the plaintiff to show clearly the
sum to which she In entitled. the doubt
OF the court might well have been ex-
tended.
Assuming the plaintiffs right to re-
cover something for services, the court
is of the opinion that an allowance OF
5000 for both money loaned and servioes
would be ample. and n new trial will be
granted unless the plaintiff RENTS all
above that amount"
Miss Horan was awarded 5000 by the
trial Judge.
