 : Judge John w. Sweeney. of the su- perior court, was a witness in the su- Perior court for Washington county, Judge George T. Brown. at Thursdays session in Westerly. The matter be- fore the court was a replevin suit brought by Natale Benvenuto against Joseph $. Grills and the property in contest was a one story wooden build ing in Canal street erectes and paid for by Benvenuto but claimed by Grills, as it in part is located on the Grills property, on Canal street. The gist of the case is perhaps best told in the testimony of Judge Sweeney, who before being elected to the su- perior court bench, numbered Benven- uto among his clients. The plaintiff is represented by Frederick C. Olney and John J. Dunn and the defendant by Albert B. Crafts and Harry B. Agard. Judge Sweeney testified that he act ed as counsel for MT. BenVenuta in all that pertained to the building in Ques- l tion, prior to being elected to the bench. Benvenuto had a licensed li- quor saloon in Canal street, diagonally opposite the building in dispute and 1 BenYenuto was a tenant of the rail- road company. The building where 1 the saloon was located was about to | be razed in connection with the inn proved railroad conditions. The wit ness secured permission from the 1 railroad company for Benvenuto to
 erect saloon building on the opposite side of the street, at Friendship and 1 Canal streets, and, as he supposed, on i railroad property. the building to be
 removed at any time upon notice to 1 that effect from the railroad company I The site selected adjoined the Grills
 property. There was no line of de- markation m Canal street and Walter 1 Dixon, owner in part of the Dixon property, which had been purchased i by. the railroad company, pointed out | what he believed to be the dividing line, which was about six feet from the southwest corner of the Grills property, as then claimed. Mrs. Grills was the owner of the property and was represented by her husband as agent. Mir. Grills did not know the line OIi (dIdI Street anu liIGTc- WAS OlSQuLS as to the boundary line and the boun, dary given by MT. Dixon was selected After the posts that were to support the building were placed in the ground and the work of construction com.

 done, the witness selecting the new site. The siIls of the house were placed on posts and there were no fasten.
 ings and the building was subject tS removal at the option of the railroad l company. Soon after the work on tn,
 building had been finished, Grill. brought trespass and eiectment suit
 in which Benvenuto and the railroad
 company were made the defendants
 with Judgment in substance that tn , building was not wholly on railroad property. Then the Westerly towl council passed a vote forbidding Ben venuto to sell any more intoxicatin; drinks in the building as it was no
 located on the property described il the license. The witness then advises Beuvenuto not to take amy chance with the town council and to move tn building. To this Grills objected an a writ of replevin was immediatel I tseTved and the building was agai moved and it was believed entirel from the Grills land. Grills put up
