Some years ago. when the late Judge
NJ was holding court in one Of the
interior counties OF Maine, case was
called which had long been In litiga-

the amount at issue. and the judge,
thinking 1t impracticable to keep the
suit longer IN court, advised the par
ties to refer the matter. whereupon
they assented and agreed to refer the
case to three honest men.
The Judge said the case involved
some legal points which would require
one OF the referees at least to have Q
knowledge Of law: therefore he would
suggest the propriety of their select
ing one lawyer and two honest men.
