JUDGMENTS AFFIRMED
ouarryman Gets $1,000 and windham
County Plaintiff 5000.

Montpelier, Sept S.-Judge Rowen
/ has ordered an entry of judgment
of the county court affirmed in the
Washington county case of David
Fraser, a Barre quarryman, against
A.C. Blanchard and others. This case
was tried at the September term OF
Washington county court a year ago
and the plaintiff was awarded YER
dict of $4,000. The case was taken
, to supreme court on the ground that
the verdict was excessive and against
the testimony, and was argued at the
last May term. The defence also ex-
cepted to the verdict on the ground
that during the trial local news
paper stated that an effort mad been
made to settle the case at a recess of
the court, and that this statement
was read by some of the jurors who
were trying the case.
Judge Watson ordered an entry of
judgment of the county court affirmed
in the Windham county case of Orrin
o. Ware against Rollin S. Childs and
trustee. In the lower court, the
plaintiff was awarded verdict Of
5000 damages.
Disposition was also made of the
Franklin county case of Margaret b.
Sowles and f. A. Sowles against Har-
riet G.. Minott and others. This case
has been trundling along in supreme
court since 1901. 1t was first heard
before H. E. Rustedt of Richford as
special master and he was drowned
before he had rendered an opinion in
the case. 1t then went to Judge
Start, who rendered pro forma opin-
ion, this being almost the last work
he did. Judge Munson rendered an
uary term but the case was neld open
as it was thought other evidence
would be introduced. II was held at
the request of counsel who now file
stipulation which provides for an
affirmance of the decree and a man
date in accordance herewith is sent
down, thus finally disposing of the
case.
The supreme court judges this eve
ming concluded taeir deliberations in
chamber for the present and went to
their homes.
