William 3. Kendall of Bowdoinham,
This is the third time the case has
been up tor trial. 1t first came before
the court in 1916 in an action Of de-
cent which was non-suited on the
ground that it was not the proper
action. Later the present action of
assumpsit was brought At the March
term IN 1917 the case was tried and
resulted in a verdict for the PLAINTIFF
Tor slS3l.24. The case was appealed
to the law court by the defendants
and the law court sustained the ex-
ceptlons and the defendants motion
and set the verdict aside on the
ground that from the evidence it an.
peared that even il there were any
Misrepresentation they were not re-
lied on by the plaintiff. or if any
were made and relied on by the plain.
tiff they were waived during plain
tiff's long occupancy Of the premises
and that her RECESSION Of the contract
was not seasonably made. The law
court also stated that the letters of
the plaintiffs husband and agent
contain no suggestion OF intent upon
the part of the plaintiff to avoid tho
contract until the spring of 1914.
A large amount Of evidence was
introduced in the case on Friday and
the trial OF the case will be continued
at today's session. George w. Hese,-
