WAN IS APPEAL
DISMISSED On
NOVEL GROUND

The supreme court today heard the de-
fendant's motion to dismiss the case Of
Frederick N Smith VS. the William H.
Haskell Manufacturing company of Paw
tucket. which was before the court on
exceptions.
A dismissal was asked because notice Of
the filing OF exceptions was not given to
the defendant until four days after such
exceptions were filed, instead of within
two days thereafter as required by rule 50
OF the superior court.
Presiding Justice Sweetland after GER
tifying the exceptions as presented by
counsel for plaintiff, had certified as an
additional matter OF exceptions the claim
OF defendant that the case be dismissed
on this ground.
Counsel for the plaintiff argued that the
superior court rule requiring notice has
been reasonably construed by that court
in refusing TO dismiss
Chief-Jastire Douglas said the superior
court has no discretion to make or
change its own rules, as the court ana
practice act requires those rules To be
approved by the upper court.
IL was further argued on the one hand
that time was not In this case essential

In the superior court a verdict was di
rected for the defendant.
