FROM THE Law COURT. A rescript in tn
case of Albert Dickey of Northport vs.. Frank
A. Bartlett of Unity, tried at the September
term of the Waldo County Supreme Judicial
Court, Judge Leslie C. Cornish of Augusta
presiding. was received Saturday by Geo. l
Heating. Clerk of Courts: faction to recover
an alleged balance of $50 for the labor of the
plaintiff and his wife under a contract with
the defendant. The defense was that the
agreed wages were less than the plaintiff
claimed, and that full payment had been
made. The verdict was for the amount sued
for. and the case comes up on defendants mo-
ton for new trial. Held: Where contradc-
tory and irreconcilable testimony has been
passed upon by the jury, who had the oppor-
tunity of seeing the witnesses as they testified,
their conclusion in favor of one of the parties
should not be set aside, although it may seem
to the court from an examination of the print
be more justifiable. The court does not find
sufficient proof in the record to satisfy it that
the verdict was clearly wrong. Motion over
ruled"
