RESCR|PTS FROM
THE LAW COURT

Five rescripts, one each from the
counties of Androscoggin, Franklin,
pKnox, Waldo and York were handed
down by the law court Thursday.
WALDO CASE
The motion OF the defendant is
overruled in the Waldo county case
of L. L. Rogers VS.. Henry Brown ct
q.
The rescript per curiam is as fol-
lows:
This case comes up on motion by
defendant to set aside the verdict.
No exceptions were taken and the
presumption is that every issue
raised in the course of the trial was
properly submitted to the jury. The
case, accordingly. presents a pure
question of fact upon which the jury
have. passed. The only question
therefore is whether there was any
adequate evidence upon which they
were authorized to base their verdict.
A careful consideration Of the evil
dence discloses ample evidence for
the verdict, if they believed it, and
creditability is always a question for
the jury. We are unable to discover
any local ground upon which the
| verdict can be disturbed.
KNOX CASE
In the Knox county case of Ray
mond T. Bowley VS.. John Fuller, the
exceptions of the defendant are sus-
: tained.t
I THE rescript,. which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie c. Cornish OF
Augusta, is as follows:

account annexed for the storage of
hay it Appeared that the plaintiff
was the purchaser from third party
of certain premises which the de-
PENDANT had been occupying, and
from which the latter moved on Oc-
tober IS, 1919. four days after the
purchase. The defendant left two
bins of hay in the barn and gave the
plaintiff an option to purchase the
same at a certain price. The plaintiff
did not exercise the option and the
hay remained in the barn until April
26, 1920. On March IL, 1870. the
plaintiff notified the defendant by
letter that if he did not remove the
hay by March Is, he should charge
] the defendant one dollar per day Tor
storage after that date. On March
20. 1920, the plaintiff again notified
the defendant that if he did not re-
move the hay by April !, the rate OF
storage would be increased to two
dollars per day after that date. The
defendant made no reply to either
letter. The presiding justice in
structed the jury that after the re-
ceipt of each letter the defendant
was entitled to a reasonable time IN
which to remove the hay. the dura-
ton of which was left to the jury
to determine, but if the hay was not
removed within such reasonable
time the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover the demanded rates as mat
ter of law.
HELD:

error is in her inability TO lift her voice

on the other hand, Mr.. Kelly will sur
prise you with the even and intelligent
manner in which he reads his lines. The
main trouble is, in my humble opinion is
that Mr.. Kelly does not put enough OF
the warm blood in the veins Of Romeo.
Romeo is the kind of a lover who
climbs over high walls to talk to his
lady love. Even Juliet talks about the
height Of the garden wall. In other
words, Romeo must have some pep" 1
