aicts. thirty four by entry OF ssneither
ns,tvp. nine cases dismissed and twenty
ars divorces decreed. There were 129 new

Daring the recess, on Friday and satur-
a.y. the replevin suit Of Mrs. Julia Leon
ard vs.. Albert c. Wentworth, and the case
in equity between the same parties, were
heard By Judge King and Henry NJ.
Hall as referees. In the early spring OF
hast year Mrs. Leonard, who is seventy
wears OF age, after selling her farm in
North Ellsworth near the Dedham line,
bought the L. ID. Patten farm in North
Ellsworth and arranged with her nephew,
Wentworth, to come here from Msssachu-
setts to make . home for her for the re-
this, she conveyed the farm to Mr.. Went
worth, he in turn giving back mortgage,
the condition ofwhich was the. faithful
performance OF his part OF the arrange
ment. All went we'll for a time under
this arrangement, but later there was
friction, resulting, finally, in Mrs. Leonard
leaving the place early this spring. Mrs.
Leonard says she was ordered OF the
place after q quarrel in which her nephew
struck her and choked her, and that she
was afraid to return; Mr.. Wentworth says
be did not strike her, that his home Is
still open to her, and that there has been
no breach OF the conditions OF the mort
gage on his part. After Mrs. Leonard left
the farm she seized certain personal prop
erty which she claimed as her own, under
a writ OF replevin, and also started
foreclosure proceedings on the mortgage.
Mr.. Wentworth brought the suit in
equity. This was the interesting family
snsrl which the court was appealed to to
unrayel.
The referees reported q breach OF the
conditions OF the mortgage, but allowed
Mr.. Wentworth the right to redeem upon
payment OF u 300 and interest from May
8, 1914. In the replevin suit they allowed
Mrs. Leonard all the property described
in the writ with the exception Of three
cows. The report has not yet been &C.
eepted. 1t is understood that propositions
to compromise are now under considers
ton by the parties.
D. L. Hurley appeared for Mrs. Leon
ard and r. L. Mason for Mr.. Wentworth.
