When we went to press last week
things looked decidedly blue in the
county and state, but later develop
ments have changed the complexion
of things somewhat, as regards state
matters. The insurgents were very
strong in their claims and the day
after the primary they claimed the
state by from 5000 to $4,000, but
these figures have been shrinking
until, in some cases, there is nothing
left. Crawford's majority will be in
the neighborhood Of 1000. The
stalwarts have nominated Burke and
Martin for congress; johnson, for
state treasurer, and have some hopes
Of landing Browne in the governors
place; Waltner, as secretary OF state,
and Wickre, as railroad commits
sioner. In view Of the clean insur-
gent sweep Of the state two years
ago, this fact is significant, and
shows that the people are waking up
to the fact that the reform cry is
made for the sole purpose Of advanc-
ing the political fortunes Of few
men in this state and county. The
official count will be needed to deter
mine the result in the case of some
atate officers.

Law Court Decisions.

The following decisions were hande,
down by the law court Saturday il
Cumberland and Piscataquis county
cases:
PiscataquiS County-Edgar Z. Ring
Land Agent, Petitioner for Location
of Public Lots in Elliotsville. Re
script, Peabody, ].
This is a petition presented by the
land agent for the appointment of a
committee to locate public lots in the
plantation of Elliottsville in Piscata-
quis county.
Under public act of the Common
wealth of Massachusetts May /, 1894
Samuel Weston was authorized and
directed to survey three ranges OF
townships between Penobscot river and
the Million Acre Purchase north OF
Waldo Patent, which subsequently be-
came a part of the State of Maine.
The survey located Ranges Seven.
Eight and Nine and divided them into
townships six miles square. The plan
tation known asM Elliottsville was
Township Eight, Range Nine, accord
ing to Weston's survey. By an act OF
the General Court Of Massachusetts,,
approved July ., 1884, the Committee
for the Sale of Eastern Lands was di-
rected in the conveyance OF each town
ship to appropriate 200 acres for the
use of the ministry, 200 acres for the
first settled minister, 200 acres for the
use of the Grammar school, and 200
acres for the future disposition Of the
General Court and by an act, approved
March 26, 17SS, the previous act was
modified SO as to require thereafter in
the conveyance of every township Of
six miles square a reservation of four
lots of 320 acres each, one fer the first
settled minister, one for the use of the
ministry, one for the use of schools and
one for the future appropriation of the
General Court.
This act continued in force until the
separation of Maine from Massachu-
setts. when it's provisions in regard to
school and ministerial lots were in
ccrporated in Paragraph I, Section of
the Articles of Separation adopted June
~, 1919.
The first conveyance of lands within
Township Eight, Range Nine, was the
grant by the Commonwealth Of Massa-

Cumberland County-Julius Eluslin VS..
Lewis w. Moulton. Eescript,
Spear, j.
This is an action of treSpaSS. After
the evidence was presented, a non-suit
was ordered. The plaintiff had mort
gage on certain personal property
dated Jan. Z, 1907. On the 14th of Feb
ruary, 1907, the defendant, deputy
sheriff, replevied the property in ques-
ton from the mortgagor, who then had
it in possession. On the same day no
tice in writing by leaving at the last
and usual place of abode was served
on the defendant by the plaintiff
claiming the property under his mort
gage. On the 7th of March the present
suit was brought against the officer
who had taken the property on the
replevi1 writ. It appears from the evil
dence that the notice of the plain
tiff claiming the property replevied as
mortgages was not received by the de-
fendant until after he had delivered the
replevied property into the hands of
the PLAINTIFF in the replevin suit. The
writ under which the property was
taken contained the following posi-
tive direction: 1--WE command you, that
you replevin the goods and chattels
following, viz: s. and then de-
liver unto the said plaintiff, provided
the same are not taken and detained
upon mesne process, warrant of dis
tress, or upon execution, as the prop
erty of such plaintiff, etc" 1t appears
from the evidence and the command
of the writ, under which the officer
was acting, that he did precisely what
the writ enjoined him to do, namely,
to replevy the goods and then deliver
to the plaintiff.
Several exceptions We're taken during
the trial to the admission and exclu-
sion of testimony, but it is unneces-
sary to consider them as the evidence
offered, excluded or admitted, was en-
tirely immaterial to the decision OF the
case at bar. u 3
