JUDGMENT FOR DEFENDANT
In Case of Pet Dog Run Over by
 WiIiington Mans Automobile.

Tuesday morning the second weeks session of the superior court opened in this city. The first case to occupy the attention of the court was the civil suit of Sadie M. Brown of Willimantic against Daniel F. Royce of Wilmington. The suit was for the purpose of pro- curing damages alleged to have been suffered for the death of a dog which was run over and killed last June by MT. Royce's automobile. There were two counts set forth in the complaint the second being that the defendant agreed to pay for the dog, and this he did not do. Attorney William A. King represented the defendant and Attor- ney P. J, Danahey appeared for the plaintiff Mrs Brown was the first witness and told the court the breed of the dog, which was valued at $25. Her husband had taken the dog for a walk the night in question and had been gone but a short time when he return ed with the animal in his arms. At this time MT. Brown was accompanied by Mir. Royce, who stated that he would be in during the following week and pay for the dog. Mrs. Brown said that she had writteR to the defendant about the matter. but had not received any reply. A doctor was called while MT. Royce was in the house, but she did not think that MT. Royce was there when the doctor arrived. On cross examination Mrs. Brown stated that the dog was a pet animal and that he was not allowed cut of the house un- accompanied. and that MT. Royce had voluntarily offered to pay the dana ges.
 MT. Brown, husband of the plaintiff testified that the defendant had told him at the time of the accident that his brakes did not take hold. He also suhstantiated the testimony of Mrs Brown.
 At this point in the proceedings the court took a recess and those inter ested in the case, accompanied by Judge Webb, visited the site of the accident.
 Daniel F. Royce at the resumption of court told his side of the case. He stated that the dog had apparently gone by the car and as MT. Royce started to come out on the street the animal turned and ran directly in front of the machine. After being struck the dog was picked up by Mir. Brown, who dropped the animal. as it bit him He denied saying that his brakes did not hold. MT. Royce was of he>opin- ion that the dog was run over by the rear wheel.

 OK Case on Trial.
 The afternoon session of the court was occupied with the case of Charles E. Skinner of Mansfield against Fly man Chasen of this city, alleging a breach of warranty in the selling or an OK.
 MT. Skinner, the first witness, testi- fled to a conversation held between himself and Chasen last fall about pair of oxen. Chasen, who then own ed the animals and had them in his possession, wanted $6i0 for them, but this was more than the witness wanted to pay, and it was finally agreed that $150 should be paid for them. At the time of the sale, the witness stated, ne noticed one of the oxen looked bloated and he called Chasen's attention to the fact. The latter stated that he had just watered the animals and this was the cause of the seemingly bloated ap- pearance. At this time Chasen said he would guarantee the oxen to be all right
 The oxen were driven to the home of the witness, where they were turned loose in the yard. That night 1t was noticed that one of the oxen was sick and would not eat. From this time up to the time it was killed the animal could not be used because Of it's con dition. The day after the sale the new owner notified Chasen that the animal was not as 1t was supposed to be and that he wanted the animals taken back. Chasen was offered S5 if ete would take them back, but this he refused to do.
 A number of witnesses were pro duced by the defendant. Most of these told the same story in regard to the health of the animals before Chasen had purchased them. Chasen told the court that he did not make any guar antee, as he did not have the animals in his possession moro than five min utes, but he did admit telling the plaintiff what he knew of them, which was what somebody else had told him
 Mrs. Ogoshowitcz, whose husband owned the oxen before Cashen pur- chased them got on the stand and stated that she could not talk the language but she understood it all right. It was impressed upon her that she was doing all right, as she an- swere6 the questions as they were asked, but she still held to the belief that she could not speak the language.
 Judgment for Plaintiff.
 After all the testimony and the at torneys in the case had made their ar guments, tfle judge gave judgment of $40 and costs in favor of the plaintiff. Court was then adjourned for the day.
