Vermont Supreme Court
Finds 1t Not Excessive in
Dyer VS.. Lalor Case
DEFENDANT HAS
SINCE PASSED AWAY
Two Other Opinions Were
Handed Down at Mont
pelier To-day

A breach Of promise Judgment Of
$4,000, which was considered excessive
by the defendant, was affirmed by the
Vermont supreme court in an opinion
handed down at the opening of the Jan
uary term to-day. This judgment was
given in Rutland county court in the
case of Anna c. Dyer VS.. Charles H
Lalor, both of the city of Rutland, with
banks in Rutland as trustee defend
ants.
Since the verdict was rendered in
Rutland county court, the defendant
has.died, so the case as it appeared in
supreme court to-day was really
against the estate OF the defendant
The chief ground on which the case
was brought to supreme court was the
claim that the verdict of $4,000 was
excessive; but there were numerous
other exceptions as to the exclusion of
evidence.
In the Rutland county case OF Henry
w. Clement VS.. Rutland Country club,
the judgment was affirmed, but the de-
cree was amended to read that Glenn
ent owns five-eighths instead of seven
eighths OF the spring water in question.
In the Chittenden county case of w.
w. Smith vs.. H. II. Reynolds, suit
over the sale Of telephone stock, the
Judgment of the lower court for the
plaintiff TO recover S4,627 was reversed
and the cause remanded. There were
27 exceptions in this case, but the chief
ground was the claim of the exclusion
of evidence.
Three new cases were entered this
morning, as follows: State VS.. George
A. Long, murder lthe Broadwell casel !;
mandamus proceedings in the case Of
Caroline Bianchi VS.. judge of probate.

ian, make an accounting; Hayden vs.

williams Case in Doubt.

"Will the case of State VS.. Williams
be argued this term in supreme court ~
was the question that ran through the
minds Of the attorneys when Attorney
General r. C. Archibald stated that
only few days ago had he received a
brief from the excepting parties, and
that he did not know as it would be
possible to brief the case during the
present term Of court II viii be re-.
called that Mr. Archibald has been en-
gagged in the trial of cases in Chitten
den county and that within few days
he begins the trial of State vs.. II. +,
Graham in Washington county, if the
present plan prevails.
The first hour of the morning was
used in the calling of the trial calendar.
Several entries were made disposing of
cases. These included: Rutland coun-
ty. Edward Jeanette VS.. Vermont Acct
dent Insurance company, settled and
discontinued; state of Vermont VS.. in
toxicating liquor, with Antonio Ricci
claimant, exceptions waived. Judgment
affirmed; Chittenden county. Addnor
Elsa VS.. b. j. Fayette, discontinued
without cost to either party; Rosenberg
vs. Taft, submitted on briefs; Wash
ington county, Sparrow VS. Vermont
Savings bank, with court; StsteNs. b.
Palmer, no entry made; Orleans coun
ty, Hoadley vs.. Wing, discontinued.
An interesting bit of conversation be-
tween the court and attorneys in the
case of State vs.. Brisbne Palmer, APP
pealed from Barre city court, took place
in which some of the attorneys stated
they received several points in law.
A. G., Fay stated that he understood
that the states attorney vas willing to
have the exceptions sustained, judg-
ment given and sentence stated, allow
ing the case to be disposed of. The
court inquired al some length into the
case and intimated that the specifica
tions could have been amended and
that the court was not willing to de-
eide the question on the grounds stated.
The states attorney explained that
this case was more or less of a family
trouble and that the respondent had
been complying with the order OF the
lower court. The'court stated that it
looked as though a mol pros should |
have been entered if the prosecuting |
officer found conditions as they had |
been explained to Che court. Mr.. Fay |
inquired If that could be done after a |
jury had found the man guilty. The |
court conferred on the matter and stat
ed that apparently the jury had found /
some merit in ,the charge against the /
respondent and that statement that the /
complaint was defective did not agree
with the iury's version. Probably some
other method of disposing of the ease
will be tried.
There were many attorneys in at
tendance when court convened. prob
,bly due TO the fact that the state bar
meeting was TO be held this afternoon.
Deputy sheriff II. &. lawson pro-
.laimed the opening of court, and Rev.
?. Il. Leach offered the prayer. Then
followed the calling Of the trial calen-
lar. which resulted in the discoHtinu-
lnce OF many cases. but leaving a large
number fY argument.
