court will be as follows: Hon. Henry

M. Ballou of Rutland, reporter.
The dockets for the term were got
out for distribution on Saturday and do
not indicate very long term, but the
| length of term can not always be
safely passed on in advance, for the
tdropping out of cases on the jury cal
endar or the trial of cases which were
expected to go over to another term is
always likely to make preliminary cal
culations unreliable.
The general law docket contains 62
cases, on the chancery docket there
are II cases, on the divorce calendar
II cases, on the criminal calendar
% cases and on the jury calendar II
cases. The criminal matters are for
the most part of small Importance and
several of them have been disposed of
at previous terms of court, the re-
spondents now being in charge of Pro-
baton Officer Smith. Unless something
new developes the criminal docket will
not take up much time.
The cases on the jury calendar are as
follows Norman S. Foote VS. George
M. Moore, appellant, special assumpsit
and common counts N. S. Foote VS.
Kneewaydin Camp, appellant, general
assumpsit; in re will of Columbus Smith,
Anna M. Perry ct al. contestants and
appellants Frank E. Foote VS. Clayton
Lathrop, appellant, special assumpsit
and common counts; Fred Begor VS.
James B. Tulley, appellant, trespass;
Norman S. Foote VS. Bartholomew Mylot
and wife, appellants; special assumpsit
and common counts; G.. H. Eaton VS.
Harry Diamond, general assumpsit;
G.. William Steinbach VS. John M. Holler
and trustees, the Rutland Railroad
company, general assumpsit; Peter
Duffany VS. Frank f. Foote, general
assumpsit; A. ?. Needham, appellant,
VS. Charles Lafayette, trover; Cheney
& Co. VS. George Champagne, appellant,
replevin, and f. H. Palmer VS. Martin
f. Fuller, petition for trial in county
court as against an adverse justice
court judgment.
None of these cases will be likely tC
take up much time except the Columbus
Smith will case, which, it will be re-
membered, was tried at the last Decem-
Der term and took up about two weeks
with the result of disagreement of the
jury. Should this case come to trial at
the approaching term it will undoubtedly
last two weeks again and if half of the
other cases listed for the jury come to
trial the term is likely to last until wei
up towards the first of July, if not d
little after that date.

jurors for the term are the following
