COUNTY COURT

The now more or less famous trial
of the case of Nelson Hall company
VS.. Taplin and Rowell, Lang and
Webster came to an end Saturday,
October %, having been on trial since
the 26th day of September and no ver-
dict was secured. the struck jury, be-
fore which the case was tried, being
unable to reach an agreement after
being out about forty hours. The ma
tare of the case Was trespass and
trover, action being brought by the
plaintiffs to rec yer for timber
claimed to have been cut on their
land IN Richford contiguous to the
linz between Richford and Jay. The
only thing in the case conceded by
both plaintiff and defendant was that
the west line of Jay was the east line
of Richford. The main contention
was as to the true location of the line
between these towns because the east
line of plaintiffs land was the west
line of Jay and the west
line Of the defendants land was the
west line of Jay. The plaintiffs
! claimed that this line was from 80 to
10l rods east of where the defend
ants claimed it to be, so that the
territory in dispute was strip of
! land l0l rods wide at the base, 80
rods at the top and about two miles
north and south. The plaintiffs
claimed that the defendants cut on
this land about 500, 0C0 feet of spruce
timber and sned to recover the sum
of $4,000 therefor. The plaintiffs
secured as counsel, Young and Young
and j. W. Redmond, while the de-
Tense was r presented by Williams
and Dane and E. A. Cook and the con-
! q hnt l.
of consideration. Among the exhibits
were blocks taken from trees along
each line which respective parties
claimed, these blocks showing ak
marks made in 1889 by Surveyor Gen
eraI James Whitelaw. Exhibits of
this character numbered about / or
the plaintiffs and 80 for the defense
The other exhibits consisted largely of
original manuscript in the handwrit-
Ing of the Surveyor General describ-
ing in detail his survey of he lines of
Jay, maps of Jay and Richford. made
as early as the year 1903 and field
books describing the lots in the town
OF Jay. bordering on the west line
There were about 60 such exhibits
Each side produced expert testimony
from three surveyors and many wit
nesses were used. those of the plain
Tits probably numbering 80. The evil
dence in the case was taken by Miss
Smith Cf Rutland. who took the work
where it was laid down by the late
Mrs. Mutt. While it is to be regret
ted that no verdict was reached, there
can be no doubt of the hard work and
close attention given the case by the
judges, jurors or counsel. Court ad-
Journed without date at m
Saturday.
