DAILY KENNEBEC JOURNAL WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER

Supreme Medical Director, and shall
have been sent by the Keeper of Rec
ords of the subordinate commandery
to the Supreme Keeper of Records. All
the requirements hereinbefore men
tened having been performed and
complied with, the applicant shall be
received into membership in The or
der.
The plaintiff was the intended bene-
ficiary of one Patterson, who made APP
plication for membership in a subordi-
nate commandery and pursued the
several steps above mentioned, and on
Sept. q. 1906, was duly initiated His
application and medical examination
We're forwarded to the Supreme Medi-
cal Examiner, who on the next day,
Sept. 2S. approved the same But
earlier in the same day, Patterson was
accidentally killed
Held, that the approval of the APP
plcation by the Supreme Medical Di-
rector was a condition precedent to
beneficial membership, and as such
approval was not had in the lifetime
of the applicant, he never became a
beneficial member and his beneficiary
has no claim on the Benefit Fund.
2-Failure OF the subordinate COM
maEdery to return or tender back the
assessment advanced by Patterson
does not estor the defendant from
making this defence. Since Patterson
never was a beneficial member, it did
MT lie in the power of any of the de-
PENDANTS officers, by acts or omissions,
to make him a member in effect.
Judgment for the defendant.

Yates ct ais. Rescript by Savage, j.
The terminus of street laid out at
Old Orchard in 1871 was high water
mark" Since 1871 high water mark
at this point in Old Orchard has been
moved by accretions about SS feet sea-
ward.
Held, that when high water mark
changed, and the land above high
water mark gradually extended sea
ward by accretion, the public easement
which was attached to it originally at
high water mark went with it, and
the street has ended at all times at
high water mark, wherever it has
been.
Piled, that although the fee of the
land made by accretion belongs to the
defendants, they are not deprived OF
their property in it, and of a just
compensation, by this extension Of the
street The original compensation
awarded is presumed to have been full
and just 1t covered all damages to
the defendants estate, and for all
time, including such damages as
might be Occasioned later than the
taking, by an extension of the ease
ment by operation of law.
Judgment for the State.

out lawful excuse, deserts his wife, or
reglects to support her when in need,
may be fined and imprisoned, and that
the proceeds of his labor while in Jail

tute, r. s. chap. 1873, sect. II that he
would have if convicted Of any other

the question whether the form of rem
edy adopted is appropriated. or could
be sustained, if objected to.

ReScript by Savage, J.
In this case the defendant placed
his farm in the plaintiffs agency for
sale, and agreed that if it was sold to
any party through the plaintiffs in
f!uence, by an advertisement or other
wise, he would pay commission Of all
that was obtained in excess of eighteen
hundred dollars. He further agreed
that in case he should sell the property
to the plaintiffs customer for less than
two thousand dollars, he would pay a
commission of two hundred dollars. In
case the defendant withdrew the farm
from the plaintiffs agency before SALE
the defendant agreed to pay twenty
dollars, and if the farm should be sold
either before or after withdrawal. to a
customer to whom the plaintiff recon-
mended it. or who had learned that it
was for sale. directly or Indirectly,
through the plaintiff, he would pay a
commission OF two hundred dollars.
The defendant withdrew his farm from
the plaintiffs agency, and afterwards
sold it.
1-Held.-That it would have been
competent for the jury to find from the
evidence that the purchaser was the
plaintiffs customer, and that the farm
was sold to a customer to whom the
plaintiff or it's agents had recommend
ed it, or who had learned that it was
for sale, indirectly at least, through
the plaintiffs advertisements.
2-Held,-That requested mstruc-
ton to the effect that "if the listed
place was sold, either before or after
withdrawal. to a customer to whom
the plaintiff or it's agents in good faith
recommended it, then the defendant is
| liable for commission of two hundred
dollars whether such sale was effected
in whole or in part by reason OF such
| recommendation or not" was correct
and should have been given.
3-Heid,--That an instruction to the
| jury to the effect that it was for the
| plaintiff to satisfy them that the same
was by reason of the plaintiffs influ-
cnce in some way and in some degree,
