The case of Henry &. Brown of
Ludlow VS.. Eben K. Slack and Anna
Slack of Plymouth occupied the
attention of the court from Thursday
afternoon to Saturday noon of last
week. This was an action to re-
cover bill of $500 for treatment OF
E. X. Slack for an injury to his foot
from stepping on nail.
The defendants made separate de-
fence, Mr., Slack claimed that the
services were of no value, that by
neglect and unskillful treatment he
had been made cripple for life.
The defendant, Anna Slack, who
is the wife, claimed that she never
promised to pay for the treatment
and could not be held liable.
DR.. Browns books, on the face of
them, showed charges to E. K. Slack
and wife, but Mrs. Stacks evidence
tended to show by the testimony of
an expert and by an inspection of
the books that the original charges
were made to E. K. Slack and that
subsequently the "and wife" had
been added.

& Davis for Mrs. Slack, J. Wilcox
