 The non-support case of EItery c. Barber, oVerseer of the poor, against Hugh Eccleston for on-support. was called After consultation between Town Solicitor Agard and Attorney latter stated to the court that he was ready to enter 8 plea of no1o and would ask the court to suspend judgment for two weeks in the hope that a set tlement may be effected in the interim.
 MT. Agard said he had no objection for a continuation of two weeks, though action in cases of this nature was to compel the man to support his rhildren, which was difficult to do as ae had renarried and had two fam hfes to support, and that it might be necessary to send the children to a Etate institution. Eccleston is q car penter and does not do his best to support those dependent upon him. His best earnings are hardly adequate He has four children by his first wife, from whom he is divorced, that he is bound to support He has remarried and taken another family to support. If the earnings of Ecclestone are in adequate the state must assume the responsibility of the support of the children. He believed that Ecclestone should be punished, but would not ob- Ject to continuation for two weeks.
 Judge Williams said that, judging from statements made EccIestone ought to be punished and punished severely. He had no right to throw children upon the state and no right under the circumstances, to assume a second marriage, and is not entitled to any consideration by the court, duced that should warrant leniency. The case was continued for two weeks.
 The next case called was of civil nature that Of Charles P- EccIestone against Earl Asher to recover $11 and costs. This is an outcome of a crim- inaI suit in which Asher was charged with theft of the amount claimed. He was employed as a carpenter and af- ter receiving pay from Foreman Mi neault, went to the office and demand ed and received his pay envelope knowing that he had been paid in full previously. Appeal was taken in the case to the superior court Judgment was rendered for plaintiff to recover $11.66 and costs. Subse- quently there was lengthy discussion as to the mode of procedure regarding body attachment in which several le- gal points were raised. and which were taken under advisement by the judge until the next regular court day.
 Joseph. McQufrk, arraigned on the charge of intoxication pleaded guilty. When asked if he had money tC pay a fine he said if the court would parole him in the custody Of an officer he could get the money. When asked con- corning his familiarity with court par lance he replied that he had served in the army and had two excellent dis charges.
