They posed as amateurs. but received
money for their services. 1t was out

c. A. A. billiard committee, which was
drawn helplessly into the tangle. is
wishing the game had never beeen in

Of the half-dozen players in that
tournament Clarence Jackson of Chi

purchase and service of the writ was

as by the name Mt. Battle Mfg. Co. To
this replication the defendant filed
demurrer The demurrer was over
ruled and the plea adjudged bad. The
defendant had leave to plead over upon
the payment of costs from the date Of
his plea. TO these rulings the de-
fendant filed exceptions. An order
from the law court exceptions over
ruled for want of prosecution" was
received and filed December "a. 1907.
The costs were paid and the defendant
was allowed to file a new plea.
The cause was heard by the presiding
Justice who rendered judgment for the
plaintiffs. The exceptions show the
following agreed statement: ''The de-
PENDANTS admit that the bill sued Tor
in the writ was contracted for by the
Mt. Battle Mfg. Go. with the plaintiffs
ana is unpaid" No other evidence was
offered The presiding justice then
ruled that "upon the admissions ana
pleadingS in the case. the decision or
the court upon the plea in abatement
previously flied, the r'lirtiifs are en-
titled to recover and to have judgment
for the amount sued for" Upon eXcep-
tiOns to this ruling TIE case comes to
the law court
The defendants contention is that
the plaintiffs declaration should have
been amended to contain the averment
that the defendants named in the plea
of abatement was the same defendant
named in the writ; that the admission
made by the defendant did not snow
this. We think otherwise.
The issue raised by the plea IN abate-
ment was whether the name Mount
Battle Manufacturing Company. and
not the name Mt. Battle Mfg. Co, was
legally identical, and was decided IN
the affirmative 1T then became res
judicata that the Mount Battle Manu-
featuring Company named in the writ
and the Mt Battle Mfg. Co, averred
in the plea, were one and the same de-
fendant. Therefore the defendants
admission that the Mt Battle Mfg. Co,
was indebted to the plaintiffs was an
admission that the Mount Battie
Manufacturing Company was Indebted
to the plaintiffs the two names, as al
ready seen, having been adjudicated
to indicate one and the same corpora

in office through inadvertcnce failed to

approve the bond. After the expira-
ton of his term in office, his successor,

facts we deem it immaterial and there
fore unnecessary to decide, whether
the decree for the removal of the
guardian was effective or not. The ac-
ton of the probate court under the
statute, independent of any question
affecting the guardianship of the petit
toner, related back to the act of his
predecessor in Office and is to be deter
mined solely with reference to what
his predecessor had done r. S. Chap
ter IS, Section 16. is clear upon this
point. Every Judge, upon entering
upon the duties of his office, shall ex
anime the records, DEGREES, certificates
and all proceedings connected there
with, which his predecessor left un-
signed or unathenticated, and if he
finds them correct, he shall sign and
authenticate them, and they shall then
be valid to all intcnts and purposes. as
if such duty had been done by his pre-
decessor while in office"
In the above DEGREES, Judge Newell,
in issuing the license to sell and ap-
proving the bond, specifically states
that it was made to appear that his
predecessor in Office had failed to sign
them through inadvertance. IT seems
to the court that the statute was in
tended TO cover just this case.
