time OF the filing Of exceptions. A notice
by mail is Of no account"
Some questions by the court brought
out the fact that there had been a dis
cussion of the exceptions before Judge
Tanner. at which counsel on both sides
were present. The court. therefore de-
MED the motion 10 dismiss. deciding that
the provisions OF the rule about giving
notice had been waived by the hearing
before Judge Tanner I'm the superior court
The chief justice then made his state
ment about the conflicting affidavits of
counsel. and declared that the matter
could not be allowed to pass and would
be considered by the committee having
charge OF such matters.
This closed the exciting part OF the
hearing; and there was a general feeling
OF relief as the court announced that II
would consider the exceptions.
Judge Dubois at this point asked 10 he
excused from further sitting on the case
and the request was granted
Neither Mr.. Farnsworth nor his asso-
ciate. Mr.. Murphy had any notice before
IL was read In court OF Mr.. Dubois AM
davit This led the court TO suggest that
such papers would better be filed before
the hearing.
A Jury in an action for professional SER
vices and on promissory note gave Or.
stephens a verdict for $500 against Miss
Merriss estate. DR.. stephens claim was
made UP OF the following items: PrOfeS
sional services rendered from Jan. /. 1902
TO Jan. 1. 1904. s25S.50: services rendered
the father OF Miss Merriss. $50: board of
nurse. $50; travelling expenses, $3.50: cash
paid experts. Sl75; IL weeks board and
services $lZ00; note, 5000.
DIR. Stephens exceptions were that the
court below erred in ruling out "A proms-
sorry note on which the plaintiff had de-
clared I'm his declaration, that the verdict
was against the law and the evidence. and
the weight thereof. and that the damages
assessed are inadequate.
Judge Tanner eliminated the note on
the ground that II was given i'm conncc-
ton with n partnership formed between
the plaintiff and the deceased 70 carry on
a sanatorium In Central Falls and was
therefore a partnership matter. and go
could not be recovered in an action OF this
character.
An hour and n half later Mr.. Dubois
and Mr. Farnsworth appeared before tho
court and Mr.. Farnsworth stated that
after the earlier proceedings both attor-
neys had proceeded To his office. where a
careful search revealed a notice OF the
filing of exceptions similar 10 that which
Mr. Dubois claimed to have sent
Mr. Farnsworth. therefore, stated to the
court that in his earlier statements he
had been In error. and rendered his full
and frank apology therefor 10 the court.

MRS. HUGHES REQUEST
Is DENIED BY COURT

Judge Tanner has denied the motion OF
counsel for the petitioner i'm the divorce
case Of Nellie r Hughes VS.. Hosea III.
Hughes, for an allowance for the support
OF her minor children. Mrs. Hughes really
sought modification OF her final decree
for divorce.
Previous TO obtaining divorce she
withdrew motion TO receive an allow
ance from respondent for the support of
his children. I'm order TO induce respon-
dent Il Withdraw his opposition TO the
divorce. she did not press her request for
an allowance. and a final decree was en-
tered making no provision for the support
of the children.
Respondent claimed he had I'm view of
this circumstance a legal right 60 have the
final decree remain without modification.
Judge Tanner does not fully agree with
this proposition. as the children are wards
os the court; and the court may under the
statutes modify It's final decree both az
to the custody and support Of the chill
dren
As Mrs. Hughes secured the withdrawal
OF opposition To her divorce and the GUS
tody OF the children by action which Judge
Tanner says seems 10 amount 10 bad
faith" the modification OF the decree u IL
held. must he denied until strong evidence
Is produced to show thai the clrcum-
stances OF the petitioner have changed
since she secured the custody of the chill
dren.
