An Interesting Suit

G. r. J. Boggs Of the law firm OF
Berry 4 Bucknam of Boston was at the
State House on Monday in conference
with the attorney general concerning
the suit for $4,000 brought against the
Badger Coal Co of Baltimore by the
owners of the barge Maine, who allege
that in August. 1914. the vessel was
damaged to that extent by being strain
ed. from being grounded through low
water while a the wharf at the State
hospital, Augusta. The contention is
that the amount of water-l2 feet
guaranteed to the vessel owners by the
defendants, was not there. hence the
craft grounded and suffered the dam
age.
Mr. Boggs is looking up evidence IN
the matter. The attorney generals Of
flee will assist the defence in the case.
and the defence will be that the depth
of water mentioned--l2 feet-was there
as guaranteed. incidentally it will OF
course be claimed that if the vessel
was damaged. it was at some other
time and place. The case will be tried
during the last of the present month
