AROOSTOOK COUNTY. = Warren l..
cobh VS. Howard Cogswell. Hanson,
Renleyin to recover a Cadillac automo-
bile The verdict was for the plaintlH
The defendant has filed two motions Tor
a new trial: one on the ground that the
verdict was against the evidence ,and the
othar based on newly discovered evidence.
The automobile was sold in 1911 by the
Rangor Motor Company to John Z. Mer-
rill. September 10, 1911, Merrill soia Tue
automobile to the defendant. In NO
vember following the defendant entered
into a contract in writing with Merrhi
which provided as defendant ciaiiiis'
that he should pay Merrill $500 on the day
of the date of the contract and on May
1919 500 additional and deliver to SAID
Merrill the automobile in controversy
and receive from Merrill new auto
mobile. The contract was retained ps
Merrill who promised, as defenoah'
claims. to furnish defendant a duplicate
which he did not do.
Tn December of the same year, Mer-
rir sold the automobile in question TO
the plaintiff. and few days later ab-
SCOnded,
PENDANTS possession until May . wheh
suit was brought. 1t is claimed by the
nlaintiff that Merrill had the right to
sell the automobile to him, that the de-
fendant delivered the same to Meffii'
when the 500 was paid in November
1911 and that Merrill exercises acts IN
dicating ownership, as well as claiming
70 own the automobile when he sold the
same to the plaintiff
The defendant says that the piainun
has not sustained the burden of proving
~ that the title and right of possession
of the automobile were transferred back
to Merrill under the terms of the con-
tract entered into by Merrill and the de-
fendant in November, 1911, and (O that
such title and right to possession were,
on MAY 2. 1912, vested in the plaintiif
under the terms of the contract between
Merrill and the plaintiff, of December 70
1912 The defendant in his brief adds, III
ia in regard to the first OF cnese PROPOSE
tions. that is, as to what were the terms
of the contract entered into by Merrill
and the defendant in November, l9ll
that there occurs the only conflict in the
testimony in the case" Upon this point

PENOBSCOT COUNTY-Agnes BOYD
VS.. Bangor Railway and Electric
Company. Hanson, j.
This is an action on%the case to re-
cover damages for personal injuries
sustained while passenger on one oil
the defendants cars. The plalntlf
obtained a verdict for two thousand
and seventy-one dollars, and the de-
fendant has filed a motion for new
trial on the ground that the verdict Is
against law and the weight of eVl-
dence. and because the damages are
excessive.
On September %, 1911, the plaintiff
entered the defendants car at Hamp-
den. and paid her fare to Bangor, her
destination. She was riding in the
fourth seat from the front end of the
car, and her husband and one John
Gilpatrick occupied the seat with her.
While proceeding along Main street in
Bangor, and near the opera house,
the car in which the plaintiff was rid
ing collided with a car in front whlch
had stopped to allow a. passenger 10
alight The collision was of suf-
ficient force to break the windows OF
the first car, and destroy the glass In
the headlight of the forward car Ihe
plaintiff claims that she was thrown
violently forward, striking her right
knee and body against the seat IN
front of her, that her knee was seri-
ously injured, and that she received
other injuries resulting in a miscar-
rage, The extent of the injury
claimed was testified to by many eX-
pert witnesses on each side, and the
jury apparently had the benefit of all
the scientific information available.
1t is conceded that the collision oc-
CURED, and that the plaintiffs right
knee was injured. The defendant
claims, however, that the collision
was slight, that the injury was not
serious, and sit was impossible for the
plaintiff to have been injured as she
stated for the reason that she could
not have struck her stomach and knee
against the seat in front of her at the
same time" and insists that the dam
ages are excessive even if the jury
found miscarriage was the result OF
the accident.
Held: The issues in the case were
presented to the jury under proper
| instructions. The testimony was
conflicting. The defendant placed
much reliance on the testimony OF
Mrs. Trimble, it's principal witness
She was pitted against the plaintiif
upon a vital question in the case
The jury saw and heard them, and
judged between them.
| After carefully examining and COM
pairing the testimony, we cannot say
| that the verdict is so manifestly
| wronk as to be set asid against the
| evidence. When the evidence Is
conflicting and the question of llabil-
| ity and damages is one that is pc
culiarly within the province of the
jury, and the evidence does not con-
vince the court that the jury were
clearly wrong, a motion for new
! trial will be overruled.
2. While the damages are large, we
cannot say that they are so excessive
as to require us to disturb the ver-
dict From the testimony of all the
| witnesses having knowledge of the
facts, including that of Mrs. Trimble
