The Rockland Opinion gives the following
report of case before the S. j. Court in
that city:
Charles L. Wing VS.. Samuel L. Richie.
lGould for plaintiff; Arthur Richie of Bel
fast for. defendant) Action for breach of
contract to convey farm in the town of
Monroe, Waldo county. Plaintiff had been
living ON defendants farm, and alleges
that, in 1908, an agreement was made that
he should buy the farm for $1,000 and paw
forft from the products, which he has since
turned over to defendant in accordance
with the agreement, until last spring, when
defendant rescinded the contract and had
him served with notice to quit. The de-
fence is a denial of the alleged contract, and
that, if it be held that such contract existed,
it was broken by plaintiff by his alleged act
in abandoning the property and moving to
Rockport. The case went to the jury
Thursday forenoon and Friday they re-
turned verdict of s., 50 for plaintiff.
TRoLLy TALK. A rumor prevalent in
Rockland last week that the trolley road
magnates who have already acquired sew
eral street railways in the State are now
seeking to acquire the Rockland, Thomas
ton q Camden Street Railway, and possibly
the Crescent Beach line. is of local interest
The Rockland Star says: "Should the Rock
land Thomaston & Camden be thus ac-
quired it would undoubtedly mean the ex-
tension of the present line to Belfast and
probably trolley road to Union, and Oak
land Park would undoubtedly be developed
as thoroughly modern summer park" OF
course some time there will be complete
shore trolley line from Bangor, and with
the present terminals of the Northern
Maine Seaport R. R. in Stockton Springs
and SearSpOrt it would seem that the build
ing of trolley line from Stockton Springs
to Camden would be a profitable undertake
ing. There is a charter for such road and
complete surveys were made a year or two
ago,
