The first case or the jury calendar. the
Woodsville Guaranty Savings bank VS.. A.
E. Rogers ct al, being ready for trial,
jury was empanelled and the trial com
menced, the attorneys in the case being
Edgar W. Smith of Wells River, Charles
H. Hosford and Fred s. Wright OF
Woodsville for the plaintiff, and r. NJ.
Harvey OF Montpelier, David S. Conant
and Frank &. Williams of Bradford for
the defendants. This was an action in
general assumpsit in which the plaintiff
sought to recover some $1,000 against
David s. ConHnt and Moses g. Flanders
OF Bradford, who signed a note given by
one A. e. Rogers, as endorse-s. Mr..
Rogers, who was a resident OF Massachus-
etts, failed to pay the note when il te-
came due, and the defendant bank failed
to give the endorsers notice Of the non
payment OF the note by the maker until il
was nearly a year overdue, and at the
time the note became due Mr. Rogers had
property in New Hampshire on hich the
bank could have levied and collected the
note. The jury found for the defendants
to recover their costs. This case was
tried in this court some two years ago,
when verdict was rendered for the de-
PENDANTS to recover their costs, and it
went up to supreme court on exceptions,
where the judgment was reversed and
cause remanded.
The next case ready for trial was an ac-
tion in trover in which the Druge Bros. |
of Vershire declared against one James B. /
Brown Of West Farlee, and sought to re- |
cover damages for he loss Of a COW which |
they endeavored to show that Brown ap.
propriated to his own use. It appeared
in evidence that Brown gave his note two |
or three years ago to one Kicker Of Yer
shire, who sold the note to the plaintiffs, |
and having purchased the note the plain
tihfs went to Brown and bought a COW, |
and when brown delivered the COW and /
put it in the barn OF the plaintiffs, the |
plaintiffs advised him that they held the
note he formerly gave Kicker and wanted /
to apply the purchase price of the COW,
$40, on the note, whereupon Brown |
baked and took the COW, although for
hidden to do so, and took her back TO his
home. When this evidence was drawn /
out, on motion of the defendants at
torneys, the court ordered a verdict for
the defendant. Darling & Wilson 40.
peared for the plaintiffs and David S.
Conant and Frank s. Williams OF Brad
ford for the defendant.
