times. The difficulty arose in conse-
quence of having two sets Of officers
in a school district. The first APP
pointment of officers was thought by
some to be illegal, and a meeting was
warned and others appointed. A tax
bill was made out and given to a col
lector, who levied on horse belong
ing to a person named in the bill,
whose tax was about $3.50. The horse
was sold at auction, and the tax salts
fed. The owner of the horse com
menced a suit against the collector for
the value of the horse, and recovered
on the ground of the illegality of the
school district proceedings. The cost
of the parties was five or six hundred
dollars"

AN EXPENSIVE LAW SUIT
Waterford People Spent Several Hun
dred Dollars Over A $3.50 Tax.
Editor Caledonian:-

Editor Caledonian:-
The present term of the Caledonia
court has been enlivened by several
cases involving the value of horses,
but the costs of the trials have not
been equalIed by an old law suit which
is recorded in a book published at
Middlebury in 1925 entitled "A Col
lection of Useful Interesting and Re-
markable Events by Leonard Dem
ing. The purpose of writing the book
was to explain to the Vermont public
the injustice of law suit brought
against the publisher involving the
endorsement Of 292 hens eggs upon
some notes, and which was decided
against Mr.. Deming after a fair trial
in the Addison county court at Middle
bury. The case was appealed to the
supreme court and at the session of
the 1923 legislature the committee on
new trials reported that the petition
of Mr.. Deming authorizing the SUI
preme court to grant a new trial be
denied. This story occupies the first
4S pages of the book, but throughout
the book of over 800 pages are several
other references to lawsuits where JUS
tice was sought involving small
amounts. The following report is
given of a case tried in Caledonia
county some 80 years ago:
"a cause was tried at the last term
