The case of L. II. and G. w. Corkins
against Earl b. Smith, before Justice jed
=. Ladd, was decided Friday. The
| plaintiff claimed that he entered into an
agreement with the defendant to sell the
latter's farm, located in Bolton and Rich
mond, for him, the farm consisting of
| about 200 acres and being well stocked and
| equipped. The sale price, 1t is alleged,
was fixed at $500 1t is further claimed
| that the sale was made and that the plain
tiffs are entitled to their commission as
agreed upon, which was five per cent, or
$40. 1t is further claimed that the defend
ant did not pay the commission and has
refused to do so. Suit was therefore
brought to recover the same and the accu-
| INFLATED interest, which is $3.50. Judg-
ment was given the plaintiff to recover the
sum of $1i3.5O and costs.
At the last meeting of the governing
board of the Lake Champlain Yacht club
it was voted to retire bonds on July to
the amount of $3.50. The bond issue was
made a year ago to build the new club
house and $3.50 were sold, This will leave

William Riley. the Hlnesburg man
charged with a statutory offense on the
complaint of a girl named Mary Ea stman,
WIN says Slt was uHutT the age or IN at
the time the alleged offense was commit
ted, was discharged by the court yester-
day after several days of hearing. The
case had some peculiar features. One of
them was a question as to the girls age,
the birth certificate purportlng to be hers
not having the first name of the child.
The court decided, after hearing the case,
that there was not sufficient evidence to
hold Riley. Miss Eastmans testimony
was very contradictory and she told sew
eral stories. After Riley was discharged
a new complaint was issued against him,
charging adultery. He was placed under
500 bonds in this case but allow ID to go
on his own recog-izance, the case being
continued until June Is. States Attorney
Hopkins appeared for the prosecution and
John j. Enright for the defense.
