UNUSUAL LAW QUESTIONS.
Involved in Action Brought by Burling-
ton Bank Against Stockbridge Man

Burlington, Nov. Ia civil action
was brought Saturday by the Mechanics
National bank of this city against G. b.
Fish of Stockbridge, which involves an
unusual law question. There was par
tial hearing in city court Saturday but
the case was continued for further evil
denee. E. M. Horton appears for the
bank and J. II. Macomber for MIR. Fish.
Mr.. Fish bought stock of goods in
Stockbridge from S. v. Green and in the
transaction gave Mr.. Green note for
Si94 Mr.. Green surrendered the note
and it was again given to the Walker
Grocery Co. and from that firm passed
to the bank. In the meantime suits had
been brought against Green by the Bur-
lington Grocery Co. and by Keyes & Co.
of Rutland. In each Of these cases Fish
was held as trustee and paid the plain
tiffs the amount he disclosed at the hear
ing being unaware that his note had been
surrendered By Mr.. Green to other
parties. The question is whether Mr..
Fish is still liable for the payment of
the note, having already paid the amount
to other parties as trustee in civil ac-
tions.

The dinner party listened to the mill

was the main man in all that region.
He had risen from farmers boy to
president of the lumber trust, and any
one who could do that certainly must

an exalted opinion of his powers. What
he had done seemed very easy to him

MARCH TO MARSEILLAISE

London, Nov. THE desperate con-
dition Of the poor of London was brought
TO the notice of Premier Balfour, yester-
day. by remarkable deputation of the
wives and other women relatives of the
unemployed, who told the premier that
unless something is speedily done to
lessen their suiferings there win be
bloodshed.
Don't forget that hungry men are
desperate men, said one of the speak
crs, who all had the same tale TO tell
Of husbands out of work and starving
wives and children. Enormous crowds
of women from all parts OF London,
marched through the streets, headed by
IA deputation which Mr.. Balfom received
at the Office Of the local government
board.
The "Marseillaise" was heard as the
procession advanced, perhaps the first
time ii was ever heard under such cir
cumstances in the streets OF London.
Only 80 Of the women were admitted
10 the presence OF Mr.. Balfour, who was
very sympathetic. He acknowledged
that the evil was very grave, but he had
little TO suggest in the way Of allevia-
ton except an expression Of hope that
public charity would come TO the aid of
the unemployed. He deprecated the
socialists suggestion that industries
should. be started at the national ex-
pense for the benefit of the unemployed
as calculated to destroy the springs of
enterprise and energy of the nation.
AZ the close OF Mr.. Balfour's speech
of despair" as the delegates described
it, Mrs. Crooks, wife Of William Crooks,
a labor party member Of the House OF
Commons, and several other women ex-
citedly invited MIR. Balfour to come and
live among them for few months.
The premier remarked that he was
quite aware that nothing he had said
could be other than disappointing. He
felt most acutely the magnitude Of the
evil from which they We're suffering.
A mass meeting of the women was
held later TO hear the report OF the dele
cation. Mr.. Crooks, M. r., and others
made speeches. Mr. Crooks said that
Mr.. Balfour's reply to the delegation
was unworthy Of the premier Of great
country. The mention oil Mr.. Balfour's
name was greeted with a storm Of
Kisses.
