PENoBsCOT.

Newton l. Winslow VS.. e. II. Dak1n
of Bangor Rescript, per curiam.
"a majority of the justices being
unable to concur in this case, the re-
port is hereby discharged"
The case Of Winslow VS.. Dakin,
which was withdrawn from the jury
and went to the law court on report,
was in itself exceptional-not from a
financial standpoint, but because 1t in
volved several unusual points of law.
1t has already been reported at much
length in the Commercial.
The rescript means, evidently, that
four justices favored the contentious
of Mr.. Winslow, and four those or
Mr.. Dakin. Lawyers expressed doubt,
upon reading the rescript. as to what
will not become Of the case. Several
who were interviewed said they could
not recall when the law court had
previously failed to return Judgment.
