All day was spent by the jury in the superior court deliberating on the case of Thomas Howe vs George c. Ray nond and others, but verdict for the plaintiff was reached just before the time for adjournment for the day
 When court opened Friday morning Judge Reed charged the jury and they spent the entire morning in their room without reaching verdict. At o'clock they went out for lunch until after 2, after which they resumed considera- ton of the matter, and it was not until 4.45 o'clock that they were heard from. Then they reported a verdict for the plaintiff to recover the sum of S1,332. 43.
 At 4.41 Attorney Thayer made a mo- ton Tor the setting aside of the verdict and the granting of a new trial, as the verdict was against the evidence. This will be argued later.
 The notes in this case concerning Knoll Reward. a stallion. amounted to S2,00O, but the interest for that time was the sum sued for. Twice before has the case been tried. Once the, jury failed to agree, while the verdict of a previous jury for over $900 was set aside by Judge Wheeler and when it went to the supreme court that action was sustained and the case sent back for a new trial.
 
 It developed in the divorce hearings that John R. Robinson, a news paper reporter, unconsciously com mitted bigamy in April of this year, supposing that he had been. divorced from his first wife, a Montville girl, when the divorce suit brought by the first Mrs. Robinson came up. Attor- ney Charles F. Comstock, counsel for Mrs. Robinson. produced a letter from Robinson, stating that he remarried in Chicago in April, supposing his wife had divorced him.
 Mrs. Robinson was given a decree by Judge Reed on the grounds Of de- sertion, and gave her custody of the son. Mrs. Robinson said that she had been married in Montville to her hus- band, who was then a reporter for the Worcester Gazette, and had gone to Worcester to keep house.
 One day nine years ago Mrs. Rob inson said her husband left, saying that he had been sent to New York by his employers Since that time she has never seen him. Mrs. Robinson testified, and has heard from him but once, receiving a letter from Detroit in which he said that he might send for her This he had never done. Mrs. Robinson said that her hus- band had never been unkind to her, but had been unreliable, addicted to drinking and gambling and that the been sent to New York by his en- ployers, but had been discharged for some trouble. She said that she would have returned to him in Detroit had he been willing to provide for her and a son born in Worcester, but that he l had not seemed willing to.

There has just been published by the Banking Law Journal Co. of New York a volume on Bank Deposits by Attor- ney John Edson Brady of New York, son of MT and Mrs. Charles F. Brady of this city. It is handy cloth bound book, on which MT. Brady has been at work for the past four years, and shows the result of thorough treatment and careful handling of the long list of cases dealing with the subject which have been through the high courts.

 The author has given a full state ment of the general principles of law governing these subjects; digests of all cases involving such deposits which have been decided by the federal courts of the different states, arranged ac- cording to jurisdiction and the stat utes which nave been enacted in fela- tion to these deposits.
 It is book of 319 pages, well print ed and published in the style of law books. Two of the cases given in the list of decisions are local cases, one being that of Kerrigan vs, Rauti- gan from the 43d Conn.,. and the stc- ond the appeal of Main, T3d Conn., the last eing one of Judge Thayer's eases.
