the sanitary conditions we find the sani-
tary conditions very imperfect and un-
healthy. We would recommend that
proper local ventilation be installed to
the main room and also would recon-
mend change of present closets by re-
moving same and install two washouts
or syphon set closets, with local ven
tlation
1--WE also recommend the removal of
the willow trees in or about the jail
grounds on account of their obstruction
to the drainage.
I'VE, the grand jury, would further
recommend, that the sewer pipes lead
ing from the jail into the so-called cess
pool situated at the northwest corner
of the jail, be connected with the main
sewer by Y or otherwise in said cess
pool, doing away with the present filthy
and unsantary conditions now exist
ing.

Dated Dec. s, 1905.
Upon informing the court that they
had completed their labOrs the grand
jury We're thereupon discharged for the
term with the thanks and commentator
of the court for their promptness and
efficiency. They were paid off by Clerk
Wainwright and went home or whither-
soever else they listed.
Soon after the discharge of the jury
in the Wetherbee's executor VS.. Keese
case Saturday forenoon no other busi-
ness '~~ng in IL shape to b- ready to be
taken up, the court took a recess until
2 O'Clock on Monday afternoon, to which
time all of the petit urors had previous
ly been excused.
Pending other matters on Friday fore
noon it was announced that the Tulley
will case, of which the proper title was
In re will of Isabella Tulley. Edward NJ.
Tulley it al, contestants, appellants, had
been settled out of court. The terms of
settlement are not yet made known, but
the case was compromised in such a
way that the contestants withdrew their
objection to the probate of the will, and
Judge Powers thereupon adjudged that
the document offered by the proponents
as the last will and testament of Isabella
Tulley was her last will and testament
and that it should be SO certified back
to the probate court. Thus ended case
which at one time had the appearance
of making costly and almost endless
strife among those who should not be

of court for many days. Mr.. Lafleur
of Middlebury was the attorney for the
proponents of the will and 7. w. Moloney
of Rutland and Cushman and Russell of
Middlebury had charge of the case for
the contestants.
Upon the re. assembling of the court at
2 p. m. on Monday there was a brief
argument in the pauper case of Town
of Ripton VS.. Town of Brandon on a
motion for continuance made last week
by w. II. Bliss of Middlebury for the
defendent town, the grounds for the mo
ton being the serious illness of the over
seer of the poor of Brandon. The motion
was opposed in argument by Mr.. Cush-
man of Burlington, but it was finally
allowed just before the evening recess,
but at the expense of the defendant
town.
The third jury trial of the term was
got started at about 2:30 Monday after
noon and was entitled Paul Shackett VS.
George w. Wilcox, appellant In this
case the plaintiff claimed balance of
$50 for the rent of his farm, situate III
Addison, which he had leased to the
defendant for $3.50 year, payments OF
$50 10 be made at stated periods and the
last payment of which the plaintiff
claimed had never been made. Mr.
Wilcox, who is now living at EsseN
junction, very plainly admitted that the
last payment OF $40 had not been made
but claimed an offset of something like
$500 for work done on the farm build
