BONDED INDEBTEDNESS.

the Past Two Years.

4 1t was stated, Saturday, at the Ex-

past two years $4,000 of the bonded
Indebtedness Of the State has been
paid. Saturday morning, there was
left outstanding only $1,000 of the
bonded debt, which it was possible to
retire, and word was received during
the day by the treasurer of State that
this amount also had been taken up.
This leaves outstanding only the
perpetual bonds of the Il. of NJ. the
Coburn fund and a small amount of
lost bonds. amounting IN the aggre-
gate to $269,000 OF this amount, S11S,-
300 is the perpetual fund from the
United States government for the Uni
versity Of Maine, 100000 is the Coburn
fund fer the Maine Insane hospital.
In addition about 800 of State bonds
are reckoned as lost, being overdue
and unpaid and no record of the hold

In 1911. s22, 900 of matured bonds was
paid and. in 1912, $4,000 was paid,
making a total of $4,000 paid at ma
turity. In addition to this $4,000 has

was a conflict of testimony in regard
to facts and circumstances connected
with the 2:20 race in question. 1t was
not in controversy that with respect
to those performing quasi judicial
duties, like the defendants, the legal
rule of judicial immunity is limited by
the principle of good faith and hon
est purpose But the evidence to prove
that they acted wilfully and malicious
ly and in vindictive spirit should pc
clear and convincing. Upon careful
examination of the printed testimony,
the liability of the defendants does
not appear to be entirely free from
doubt. But the jury had the advan-
tage of hearing the witnesses and
observing their manner and bearing
on both direct and cross examination.
1t was question which they were
peculiarly qualified TO determined, and
their decision does not appear to be
so manifestly wrong as to require the
interposition of the law court to set
it aside.
The plaintiff was subjected to sub
stantial damages in the expenditure of
time and money required to obtain
reinsta tement of his horse. According
to the plaintiffs evidence, this item
alone was at least $50 But the plain
tiff was entitled to recover punitive
or exemplary damages in addition to
the actual damages sustained. If the
jury awarded the entire balance of
the verdict above, $50 as exemplary
DANA ges, ii cannot be deemed excess
sive. 1t is, therefore, unnecessary to
consider the question of the probable
winnings of the plaintiffs horse in
subsequent races.
