The next case argued was that of DR..
D. e. Parsons of Oakland, VS.. the Wat
erville & Oakland Street Railway Co.
The case came to the law court on eX-
ceptions of the overruling of a de-
| murrer to the PLAINTIFFS declaration.
The action was brought by the plain
tiff to recover special damages which
he claimed he suffered by having the
railroad tracks of the defendant COM
pany pass in front of his house.
The defendant contended that the
plaintiff suffered no special damages
and 10 more than other people residing
in that locality.

This action was tried before Judge
| Hall at the September term of the Ken
ncbec county superior court and was
| to recover Oh promissory notes given
by the defendant to the plaintiff for a
yoke of oxen. The jury returned a YER
| dict for the plaintiff for the amount OF
| the notes with interest. The defence
| commended that the oxen at the time OF
| the sale were affected with tuberculosis
and therefore the consideration Of the
note failed.

\ lamb case, one of the unique kind
and one which raises an intricate Ques-
ton of law, WAS the next case on the
docket. The action was that of Il. f.
PARROT Co. Of Augusta. ys. Charles II.
Davis of augusta, and Cyrus f. Still
son, trustee.
The action was to recover on account
annexed the sum of $40 for grain and
the facts in the case are as follows: In
October, 1908 Stilson, the trustee.
leased his farm and stock to Davis the
defendant. The stock included q, or 80
sheep. The lease provided that when
Davis lease had expired that he should
leave the same number Of sheep on the
farm. LII March, 1904, Davis went away
and wrote Stilson that lie would not
return and Stilson took possession of
the farm and all the property. During
the time Davis was OH the farm as
lessee, Is lambs were born of the sheep
which were on the place when Davis
leased it. The bill for the grain was con-
tractcd by Davis while he was on the
farm as lessee. Suit was brought
against Davis and Stilson was trus-
teed. the plaintiff claiming that the
lambs were the property of Davis. Still
son claimed that the lambs were his
property and the question at issue is to
whom the lambs belong, whether they
are the property of the original lessor,
StilsCE, or the lessee Davis, subject to
attachment after Davis had left the
larm and had notified Stilson that he
would not return.
Williamson e Burleigh argued in be-
half of the plaintiffs and f.. NJ. Thomp-

noon was the Kcnncbec county case
Of the City of Augusta VS.. the Augusta
Water District. The question at issue
IS whether the district is liable for
the payment of taxes to the city.
W. II. Fisher Esq, city solicitor
claimed that the tax should be raid and
sad that there was no question but
that the tax was legally assessed.
Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath, counsel for
the Water District. argued that all the
property of the Water District is ex-
ehlpt from taxation because it is a
quasi-muEicipal corporation and all
us property is used for public Dur-
poses. under the statute passed by the
Legislature in 1909.
